What happens if you take a UK reg vehicle over there and don't pay - do they
catch up with you?

ECP send you an invoice.

Are they a UK company? If not what can they do if you don't pay?

A well known company in the UK for attempting to pursue massive charges
for the most trivial infractions in their car parks. Perhaps with the
clamp-down (sorry) on parking cowboys they may be branching out to claims
that are harder for people to contest.

Slightly strangely, it's a likely to be a civil matter which can be taken
up anywhere in the world. Effectively you have entered into a contract and
failed to meet your side of the bargain.

If it were a criminal offence and a resulting fine, it's much less widely
enforceable across borders, although there are now agreements between
various countries allowing them to enforce each others' traffic-related
fines.

Many parking 'fines' and the London Congestion Charge have been
decriminalised, partly for that reason.
