Never speak with a CA on the phone. Anything and everything in writing ONLY.
If you haven't, pull all 3 CBRs and see what is reporting on this, both OC and CA. Know your state's collecting SOL... is this within it? If so and you acknowledge the debt and want to pay it, see if the OC owns it and PFD letter with them to delete all info regarding the account, including CA info, from your CBRs.
If the OC is not reporting anything and you don't acknowledge the debt that is within collecting SOL, get a DV letter going to the CA within 30 days of your phone contact with them. Follow that with a dispute on any CBRs that have the CA tradeline on them as soon as they sign the CMRR.
But start by pulling all 3 reports if you have not.
