I've received two messages this week on my home phone from CCB 1-800-755-5249, extension so and so, to call them about an important business matter and the have some case #. The actually state my name on the message. Now, I don't owe money to anyone. Do I call these people back? I'm afraid that will start some nightmare. If I should call them back what do I tell them/ shouldn't tell them? I assume that whatever this is about it should have happened within the last 4 years, which is the statue thingy in my state. Or would they call about something from who knows how long ago?

CCB is a collection agency that seems to aquire old Credit Card debts from what I have read. Call them back but do not agree to anything or you will cancel your SOL. Just ask them what, how much and who. You can find there address on this site. Send them a debt validation letter which you can also find here. They will probably not respond and just move on to someone easier. Time is money to these people.

Frog is very right...please call back but do nothing beyond that as far as giving any personal or financial information over the phone. Hopefully, as frog said they will move on. I have a very pesky CA that calls numerous times a day from several different numbers. Send your validation letter certified and at this point that's all you can do on your end.
