Hi Strong Lady!
Are you looking at the "Date Assigned" or the "DOFD"? Is this listed as a collection account?
So, just to clarify; Asset Acceptance sent you a dunning letter. You responded with a DV. Asset did not respond to that DV within 30-45 days, so you filed a complaint with the BBB. Then, Asset Acceptance responded to your original DV saying that they have "evidence" that the debt is yours? What evidence did they provide? Did they provide the name & contact information of the OC? Did they provide a copy of a bill? If so, do you recognize the creditor? Is it possible that you missed the "final" bill, due to your move?
Has the BBB responded yet? Because, Asset didn't respond to your DV within thirty days, I'd also report them to your state's AG office. I would send an OC letter to the utility company (assuming Asset provided the information), and request the account information. If it is your debt, and the debt has only been assigned (and not sold), I'd explain the out-of-state move and request that they pull the account back from the CA if you can pay them. If it's your debt, and it was sold (and not assigned) to the CA, I would use their FDCPA violation to negotiate a deletion from your credit reports (if it was reported, or an agreement to not report if they haven't yet), and a reduction in the amount owed or a payment of $1000 to you, reduced by the amount that you owed them. But, only if this is your debt, after all.
If the OC doesn't have an account for you, have them put it in writing, send a copy of your DV and the OC response to the credit bureaus (if they're reporting) and demand deletion. Send a copy of the OC letter and a FOAD letter to Asset, along with the complaint numbers from the BBB and the AGs office. Then file suit against them for violations of the FDCPA.
At least, that's what I'd do!

Thanks for your reply
I called the utility company, they said that the account was opened in 2006. I told them that it is not my account. They would not give me any other information because it has been sold to the CA. I was then instructed to go to my local police department and file a identity theft and then when I have that paper to fax it back to them.
