Yes. but you have to have their company name and address. Go to: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
You can file a complaint against them there, you can read up on your rights, and most importantly you can find templates of letters there that you can modify for your situation, either the Cease and Desist letter or the This is not my debt letter should work for you. Mail it Certified US mail, return receipt. If they call you after that, you are entitled to sue them under the FDCPA and possibly also state laws. This should cost you nothing since they will be required to pay the attorney fees and most consumer lawyers will take this case on a contingency basis.
If you have the name and address of this company, please post it here and we can possibly get more information on them for you.
