Did you get a reply from them? Did you contact Greg Abbott? I would probably have sent a letter to them upon the first call making sure that there was no question that they had the wrong guy. Something along the lines of:

Dear Mr. Smith,

I just recieved a call from Joe Blow regarding John P. Jones. I explained to Mr. Blow that I am, in fact, John X. Jones and am no relation whatsoever to Mr. John P. Jones.

It is my understanding that John P. Jones apparently has issues with paying his bills. As such, you might want to try looking in the local county jail to see if he's been picked up on theft by check charges. One thing I can assure you is that he has never lived at this address, has never had my phone number, and I am not responsible for any of his financial obligations.

I pay all of my obligations on time and welcome this opportunity to advise you that I am giving you notice that should you continue to contact me in what I view as a threatening and harassing manner, you will most certainly be hearing from my attorney.


I hope they get it all straightened out for you. BTW: don't give them your birth date or any part of your SSN. All it would take it them "updating" their records to reflect your birth date and SSN and you'd have an even worse mess on your hands.

LWW
