Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

CLID number "6164399023", CLID NAME "Cedar Spring MI".
This is a new recent pattern of forged "NAME". A city or town name and a two-digit
state abbreviation. I've never received that pattern of "name" before the last month or two.
And upper/lower case for the town. Somebody has some new CLID forgery software.
I've received "Boston MA", "North Adams MA", Taunton MA", "Miami FL", and "Kirkland WA"
in the last week.
