I called them bit they had only voice mail. I told them who I eas and that I knew nothing of this dept and to not contact me again or I eould send this information to the BBB.
I recieved a letter today asking me to dispute the account.

I have dealt with Portfolio in the past they are relentless.  You could send them a DV Letter, and you don't have to give them all that personal information they are asking for.

Hold on here, make sure this debt is past states SOL or you will be sued when you send in that C&D, give them no information and especially NEVER your DL and bank account information. If this debt is from ID Theft you will need to file a police report on it, and do a few other things to get them off your back permanently. Here is the ID Theft info thread http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Victim-of-Identity-Theft-What-To-Do-to-Protect...
