Federal laws, and statutes in some states, protect consumers from abusive debt collectors. You should tell debt collectors, in writing, that you do not want to hear from them further about the debt, and see a lawyer. You and your lawyer can request verification of the debt, if you believe you do not owe it. Debt collectors can be liable for damages for abusive tactics, or for continuing to make collection demands after being told not to or after an attorney is involved.
