I started getting calls years ago and receive a recorded message at least XXXX times a week. 
They were originally calling for someone else that we did n't know. We had asked them multiple times to stop calling and explained that they had the wrong info. So when the calls kept coming I again asked them to stop calling and that we had already told them they had the wrong number. The agent then explains that they are not calling the wrong number or looking for the wrong person. She goes on to say that I have a balance of XXXX from a XXXX 's XXXX credit card. At that point I just kind of laughed and told them they might want to check their facts. I never had a credit card from XXXX 's XXXX neither did my wife. I told them if I had signed up for a credit card there must be an application with a signature and a social. I do n't use credit cards I have always used a debit card. And just recently applied for a credit card a few days ago. I told them to put me down as a dispute and that I would not be paying someone else 's debt. I ran a XXXX. I 'm aware of the laws pertaining to collections. I have n't bothered to deal with them again. They are only interested in trying to collect the debt not validate it! And the amount reported on my credit report is nowhere near what they had called about. My personal information has been compromised more than a few times. I have even had my credit card used overseas and online accounts set up with my debit/credit card. So there is no telling where this debt originated but it is n't mine. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
