Wife and I have had to deal with bill collectors on and off for about the past two years.

Problem is, it's not us they're after. They're trying to track down the wife's dad and stepmom, with whom we've had absolutely no contact in at least 15 years. Several different companies have called; one person claimed that dear old mom and dad gave our address and telephone number as their own (neither has ever set foot in our current home).

What we started doing was taking down names and telephone numbers from the callers. We then explained the situation; that they don't live here, have never lived here, and we don't and haven't had contact with them for some time. We end it by saying that if they continue to call, we'll be filing complaints with both the local police and state attorney general's office. We stay calm and polite throughout the conversation.

Seems to work to a point; one company will quit calling us. Unfortunately, the account is then passed on to a different company, and it starts all over again.
