Callers typically demand personal details without providing verifiable company information, which raises red flags. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you have the right to request written validation of any alleged debt and to dispute inaccurate claims.

Document each interaction and, if harassment persists, report the activity to your state attorney general or the Federal Trade Commission.
