So we call direct energy (who we have never been with in the over 9 years we've been together and she thinks she's never been with) and they have no record either of an outstanding debt from her.
We have ordered her credit score from equifax to verify that nothing is on there.

There will be nothing on her credit rating. They are simply trying to scare you into paying them money. CBV is the worse one out there but there are many of them out there. Never ever pay a collection agency, if you are in doubt always contact the company they are claiming to be collecting for. If you find you do owe a debt tell the company you will only deal with them on the matter and not a collection agency.
