Receiving texts from Debt recovery plus

Hi I have an ongoing parking charge with euro car parks. I have not once made contact with them nor have I ever given them my mobile number etc. I know how they obtain keeper details from the DVLA however that absolutely doesn't include them getting my mobile number so how are 'Debt recovery plus now texting me in relation to this matter when I have ignored every single bit of correspondence from them thus far? Has anyone else ever had this? Surely its a data breach matter somewhere along the lines? Cheers.

Its happened to thousands of people, probably tens of thousands of people
Standard stuff, your details are easily found at minimal cost by debt collectors who use various credit records etc
Your phone number and other data are not as private as you think
Ignore them, block them1 -
Ah ok, the lengths they go to for a couple hundred quid ay. Haha. Thanks mate.1
