We have a similar thing going on. An erroneous double billing (the original of which has been paid over a year ago) has found its way into what my wife's lawyer boss calls the "zombie" market. These are debts, real or imagined, purchased for pennies on the dollar, then given to bulldogs to harass you into paying. We have about fifteen phone calls a day, all from people who curse, threaten and otherwise badger. When we tell them we'll send them proof of payment and duplication error, they simply say that that is not their business, this is a debt, and we'd better pay it or else.

I'm told we're going to have to take them to court to get rid of it.
