This is almost the same thing happening to me. I'm glad i made it to this website and see that I'm not alone here. They (the collectors) were saying they were sending me proof of my debt to an old address where my cousin lives, it has never arrived. When I started to get calls about papers being served I got a little concerned, i feel dumb about that now. But i ended up giving them my current address, so that might bite me in the [***] later. I just won't open the door when someone I don't know is there haha. The debt they want is from 2005. Its crazy.
JP & Associates - Collection Agency - Im going to file against them because they refuse to stop calling my place of employment. I have asked and asked them not to call me at work and they continue to do so. I have over 20 calls documented. Not to mention it is illegal for them to treaten to serve me with papers. I have them recorded. Best part is what they are trying to collect was a debt of my x husband that I divorced over 15 years ago. WOW

The 888 & 801 numbers have too little feedback to be of much use, but have been reported to be call-back numbers for JP & Associates. The 972 number is not confirmed to be JP & Associates, but the pattern of calling for someone to accept papers fits exactly.
The 303 number is apparently a MagicJack number, as when I originally called it back to find out who was calling, I got this message: "The MagicJack customer you have called is unavailable to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone. -- Sorry, but the user's mailbox can't accept more messages." I can't imagine a legitimate collections office would use MagicJack, so it's a pretty safe assumption that these are SOL debt bottom-feeders.
Bottom line: Block their numbers if you can, and do not talk to them at all. They're trying to collect un-collectable debt, and no amount of talking or listening to them will help in the slightest. There's nothing they can legally do to you so long as you don't restart the clock on anything.
