Northland-VERY old CC debt

I received a collection notice from Northland Group on behalf of Capital One with a balance of over $6400. I have never had a Capital One cc with this type of balance. I spoke to Northland Group and they are stating that the account is mine....although I have no recollection of such account. Nor an account with a large balance such as this. The info they gave me states an account opened in 6/1996 and last payment in 4/2001. I tried to explain to the guy that this account is not mine and that even if it was it is past the statute of limitations for California. He states they can still pursue to collect. He also stated the large balance is due to fees over the last 11 years. Is this legal? I will be sending a debt validation letter to this company. What else should I do? Please advise.
Very concerned.
