Have called me several times and have gotten more threatening each time. Have tried to explain that I will not pay without backup or proof of the debt. States that they hope I have my stuff together because I will be arrested, taken to court and will be hearing from their attorney. Hung up. Have called from more than one telephone number. Can I be arrested for not paying a debt? Also calling and harrassing my family.

i WOULD START BY RECORDING THEIR CALLS. RECORDING EQUIPMENT IS CHEAP. iT WILL END ONCE YOU RECORD AND FILE COMPLAINTS.
File a complaint with your state attorney general and Consumer financial protection bureau. (U.S. government agency)
You need to fight back and end this by recording them. If they are calling on a cell phone. There is low cost programs that will record.
Hire a NACPA attorney. The threats they make are illegal onless they have grounds to do that. This very rare. They are using this to get you to pay a scam debt.
Do not give them banking information or fall for their threats.
Good luck and report back. This will help others.

Refusing the validate a debt in writing is the #1 sign of a scam. File a complaint against them at FTC.GOV using whatever information you have.
