Product: Debt collection

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from a local number that I didn't recognize. I sent it to voicemail however it didn't leave a message. I tried calling the number back but it stated " this number doesn't take incoming calls ''. The number called again, so this time I answer and the voice on the other side says " This is a locating service and we have a debt that is pending lawsuit against you and we can only give you a ID number and a phone number to call to get this resolved ''. This was a surprise to me because I didn't remember receiving any letters of notification on any legal matters. I called the number they gave me and gave the receptionist the ID number XXXX and I was transferred to XXXX ID # XXXX. XXXX stated that " she was with XXXX & XXXX and was collecting on a Discover Card account and they have made several attempts to collect on this debt and she was looking at my credit report and she can see that this debt is mine from XXXX ''. I then replied " this is not my debt because I have never in my life had a Discover Card ''. She basically said " its on your report and we are going to file suit against you for this debt and you will be liable for much more ''. I explained to her that I am a State of Texas License Mortgage Loan Originator and I look at my credit all the time and she said " There is no way that you can be a mortgage Loan officer with the debt on your credit report '' She then began to call off other debts to validate her point to me. I then asked her " who gave you authorization to pull my credit because I didn't ''? She stated " They didn't need my authorization because they are bonded and insured and they have the right to pull credit unknowingly to the consumer ''. Before I could get to tell her that " I was a victim of Identity Theft '' she hung the phone up. I called back and asked the receptionist could she give me the person I was speaking with on the prior call and she transferred me back to XXXX. I then asked for all of the company 's information as I was going to file a complaint on the CFPB website. She stated that " You're just making threats and we are still going to file suit ''. I then researched the company and found the following : Complaint Type : Billing/Collection Issues Status : Unanswered XX/XX/XXXX Received transaction authorization to sign in the middle of page states cancellation policy must recover a written signed cancellation letter within 90 days of debt transaction.
