This morning I contacted Asset Acceptance LLC and spoke to them regarding this issue. They claim I owe money for a Visa from 1987!! This is totally bogus and I told them that I want them to send me paperwork regarding this supposed debt. They tried to connect me to someone else and I just said that I want proof of this debt. They said they will send me all the information. I was flabbergasted that they were trying to collect something from 1987 which I am sure does not even belong to me! How do these people get away with doing this? There should be some law to stop these bogus companies. This was my update for today. If I receive anymore information I will update this again.

I believe your first step should be to send a certified letter asking for validation of this debt. Something similar happened to me recently, after I sent the letter, I never heard back from them. I think they have 30 days to respond, and they didn't, because they knew the debt was bogus.
