Check out the sections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act two of which I have listed: 809(b) states that, upon being placed on notice that the validity of a debt is disputed, collection agents are required to cease collection efforts on that debt until verification of the validity of the debt is sent to the alleged debtor. 813 lists your civil remedies if the collection agency violates any of the prohibited actions, included that listed in 809(b). It also sets out how you go about registering a complaint. Hope this helps. disclaimer: this is not legal advice, I am posting this simply to give you a direction you may want to go in to solve your problem.
