So, as someone who works in the financial industry, I know how damaging getting set to collections is.

Take you back 2 weeks ago, we get a call at the house, very unspecific, from a collection agency for us to call back. Sounded very automated. After a few phone calls that were not returned, I finally got a hold of someone at the agency. The name was nowhere near ours, although close to my wife's madien name, it wasn't us. They put a note on the account.

This past Friday, again, another message on our voicemail from a different agency. I got the message at about 3PM, which is way past closing time on a Friday in Toronto. Called them up today. They were looking for someone with my name, but the birthdays didn't match.

I have stressed out way to much over the last little while over these last two issues, due to my family and housing situation (nothing major, we just want a bigger house soon).

Not to mention, thoughts of Identity Theft danced in my head, cause I knew everything was up to date as far as our credit facilities go.

Not sure what I was looking for when I decided to start this thread, maybe just something to see if this had happened to anyone else. Is there anything I can do about getting these calls? Is it random that I've gotten two calls in the last two weeks? Any ideas?
