It will automatically process the charge, as technically the rules have been broken. You can send them a letter to say you dispute the debt and ask they return it to the original creditor to ask they provide proof it is owed. You can also gather your own evidence. The fact the debt dates back to March 2019 is not long enough ago for the debt to not be recovered. Realistically, there isnt any way to force them to take you to Court other than just continuing to refuse to pay. If there are none, I am not sure if a private parking firm can apply a charge. Providing they are constituted properly, they are legally binding contracts.
