Trace Debt Recovery

Hello, I have just received a letter addressed to my Business but at the wrong address, (the letter was handed to me by the guy that does actually live there). The vehicle in question was kept there in a yard for a while which is where they must have got the address from.
It is from a Trace Debt recovery claiming I owe them £170 for a parking fine dated 17th April 2023. The debt has apparently been passed to them by Alliance parking UK Ltd.
The letter has no evidence it just states the vehicle (which my company no longer owns) was present without payment being made, and tells me which car park.
All my research into fighting these fines talks about dealing with the parking company, Parking charge notices, Notice to keeper, etc etc, but I have received none of these documents. I am not sure if they previously went to this wrong address or if they were never sent at all?
The parking company website says that once a case has been passed to their debt recovery company it is no longer their issue.
I have thought about sending the parking company a subject access request for information and evidence of the allegation but apparently a limited company cannot serve a subject access request.
So all in all I'm a little confused and stuck with what to do and where to go with this. The letter says I have 14 days to settle the matter.
I have composed a letter to the debt recovery company requesting that the correct address is used in future and the other address be deleted from their records, however from what I have read previous these debt companys should be ignored.

I would (as the company, not as you as an individual) send them the correct address for service & tell them to erase the old address.
That way, the Moorside Legal letters will be received. Come back if they try a small claim.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
