Texts and calls but no idea

I've had some texts from a few different debt collection companies. I called one to find out what it was about but they wanted me to confirm name, address, etc to speak to them. I didn't feel comfortable doing this as haven't had any paperwork.
All they could tell me was that it was about an unpaid parking fine. Couldn't tell me from when/ where etc.
I moved house nearly 6 years ago. I updated dvla for my licence but didn't update log book for about 1.5 years (yes I know that was a stupid mistake!).
I assume I have a parking 'fine' is from that period and the letters are gping to my old address.
What should I do?
Recent texts are from Moorside Legal.

Moorside Legal are trying to find your current address in order to issue a court claim before the 6 year deadline
What you dont want is a live court claim going to your old address, so do you have any idea which private parking company they are representing ?2 -

Should I call them and give my details?0 -
Trace Group are clearly trying to ascertain your current address on behalf of Moorside Legal on behalf of the private parking company, so possibly UKCPS or similar2

I got trace first, then that stopped and now suddenly two texts from Moorside.
Am I best contacting them do you think? I don't want it going to court without me knowing.0 -
Absolutely YES contact them ... but no phoning unless you record the bullying 'pay up or else' scary lies, and then post a Youtube or similar link to the recording here (we need this evidence of what these calls are like, for the government).
ONLY if you are a robust type: please phone & record everything EXCEPT your data/name/ the intro to the call, on another phone.
Otherwise respond by text or email and OF COURSE give them your new address.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I have gone through the newbies thread but still don't understand what to do next. Apologies, I am overwhelmed by the information.
Should I write to Alliance Parking to give them my new address?0 -
Definitely email a Data Rectification Notice to the DPO at Alliance Parking, giving your old address, and that they MUST ERASE your old address and only use your current address for the service of papers, plus for them to inform any contractors working on their behalf. Add redacted copies of 2 recent utility bills or similar, as proof of the new address4
