How do you get a collection agency to stop calling you about an account that is not yours?

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 USC, Section 1692c(C) CEASING COMMUNICATION reads "If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or the consumer writes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer..." So the magic phrase is "in writing". This type of letter is known as a "cease & desist" letter or C&D. Collection agencies only have to obey this provision of the law when it is in writing. Send your letter via certified mail, return receipt requested. If the collection agency contacts you again, you can sue them for violation of the law. You might also want to dispute this debt at the same time.

If a delinquent account was never reported and it suddenly appears on your credit report 5 or 6 years later are you still responsible for that debt?

A consumer's responsibility for a debt is a separate issue than credit reporting. If you owed a debt 5 or 6 years ago, and never paid it, you still owe it. There is a statute of limitations for how long a debt can be collected, another for how long a consumer can be sued over a debt and another for how long a debt can show on your credit report.

Debt Consolidation Calculator?

Debt is a ubiquitous problem in America today. According to the Federal Reserve, as of December 2010 total consumer debt stood at $2.4 trillion. This load is divided into revolving and non-revolving debt. Revolving debt consists of mostly credit card debt. Non-revolving debt consists of mortgages, loans and other outstanding debt. Despite this seemingly overwhelming burden, most consumers still want to save money. They may consider debt consolidation as a solution. The problem is that consolidation may end up raising their monthly payment beyond their means. Debt consolidation calculators can help them figure out if this option is right for them. The calculator takes basic data and gives the consumer their estimated monthly payment. The consumer inputs the amount of each credit card, mortgage and other outstanding loans. The consumer then adjusts the terms of the estimated consolidation loan such as the interest rate and duration. With this information, the consumer can then look for a lender willing to make this loan to them.
