Asset Acceptance bottom feeders

Hi all, I have an unpublished number as of the end of 2009. I didn't change it because of collectors, rather because the person who previously had my number had numerous unpaid debts and I would get at least 2-3 calls a day (if not more) asking for him.

As of three weeks ago, Asset Acceptance recently pulled my credit report, illegally, for a debt that was from either 2005 or 2006. They have called me 5 times as of today, at least twice a week. I have asked every time they have called to validate the debt, and also for my acct number, etc. They will not give me any info. I asked where the debt validation letter was that I requested, they said they sent several...in 2007! LOL

I told them, every time they have called ,that the statute of limtiations is up (I live in MD) and that I am recording calls. Unfortunately, I really was not recording the calls although I wish I was because they outright admitted that my debt was incurred in 2005-2006 and is uncollectible. They have, however, told me that by federal law, they are still allowed to call me and ask for repayment and do not have to provide any documentation since the debt is several years old.

So....what to do. First, it shows on my credit report as recently active and it isn't. Second they have called me five times (I can get phone records), third I have asked for debt validation which they flat out refuse to do. I need to send them a written letter not to contact me via telephone and that the statute of limitations is up, but since they won't give me an account number or anything else i.e., mailing addy I don't know how to do this.

Needless to say, I am irrate. Not only with the fact that they illegally pulled my credit report and lied to say the activity has been recent when it hasn't, but that they are now calling my unlisted number.

Any advice and help is appreciated, thanks for listening!!
