After reading your report I had remembered the same thing happening to a family member of mine. Of course the names of the people and the company were different, but the situation was almost identical.
If you KNOW you did not have not borrowed any money and that no money was put into your account DO NOT give these people any personal information.
They will threaten Jail, and loss of bank accounts, garnishment, Etc. Just to get your personal banking information, or to get you to sign a promissory note (which will then legally obligate you to pay this debt if it is legitimate or not.)
If you continue to get the harassing phone calls, simply and politely request a physical mailing address so that you can send them the requested information (tell them you have no way to fax the information if you have to). Once you obtain this information, politely inform them that their fraudulent attempts to collect money from you will be reported to the appropriate authorities and advise them not to contact you again, and that they will be contacted by the authorities. Then end the call.
Chances are they "can not" or will not provide a physical mailing address. That is one of the signs of a scam. Any legitimate debt collector can and will gladly provide a physical mailing address.
I can almost guarantee that this will end the harassing calls and the attempts to scam you out of your hard earned money.
Once again remember, Never give out your personal information or your banking information. Never sign a promissory note to repay a debt you are positive is not yours, because of threats of jail or other financial ruin. This is how these scum bags get hard earned money from honest people.
Good luck to you and I hope everything works out.
Keep us updated! I am interested to hear how this works out for you.K
