Thanks for the input Shogun. I thought that I needed to be informed that Worldwide had the debt and would pursue collection activity against me.
I rejected the response and sent the following (before I received your response...couldn't wait):
"Excluding their response to this complaint, to date I have not been contacted by Worldwide Recoveries nor
have they informed me that they have purchased, or are attempting to collect a debt. I am requesting a dunning
notice for this account be sent to my current address which is listed in my credit report.
To settle this claim, I am requesting that Worldwide Recoveries provide me with documentation they received
from US Bank verifying that this debt is mine as well as the full account number, date of first delinquency and
balance owed."
Even after reading through many posts on this website (I've been lurking for awhile now), I am still unsure if they had to provide me with documentation from US Bank but thought that if they actually bought the debt, it should come with the legal paperwork from the bank.
So to clarify, Worldwide can only do an initial hard pull or they can pull until the day they go out of business (assuming that they still own the debt)?
Back in the garden until 10/2015.

Ah guiness56, you made my day then karate chopped it 
Am glad about the dunning notice (that they are in violation) and am assuming that it is on it's way. Not happy that this company can hard pull at will and any future CA thereafter. But all in all, it's understandable since that is a consequence of not managing credit wisely.
Lesson learned 
I'm sorry
Actually there's a grey area in there. Yes, they had PP for that pull. However since your DV would be considered timely they would have to answer the DV before collection activity could resume. That would include posting to your CR or doing another HP of your CR.

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.
Question, if they do not answer the DV, does that also mean that they cannot do another HP (since that could fall under collection activity)?
You have once again made my day 
!!!
I will update this thread as it progresses. Hopefully, anyone else who is going through this with them or a similar CA can benefit from it (I know that I have when reading threads dealing with issues I going through).
Just checked the case status on the BBB website and Worldwide has until 6/4/13 to respond. I filed this complaint with the BBB close to 3 1/2 weeks ago and I am still in limbo.
Just venting but why does it seem that other posters have received resolution in what appears to be a couple of weeks. The wait is killing me!!! *sigh* Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming
