You can send them a cease and desist letter certified mail with return receipt. It could also be that the number your daughter has now could have been someones elses and that is the person they are wanting.

If they don't stop their collection attempts after receiving your written notification, report them to the AG's office as well as to the BBB and the FTC. You also have the rights to file a case on charges of FDCPA violations.

Technically your child can not be entered into any sort of agreement. Since you are the parental guardian, have you inquired as to what the debt is for? If it's a credit card you authorized/co-signed, then I am surprised they haven't started contacting you. Do you have more details on this matter? Depending on the situation, would determine your course of action.
