I am rebuilding credit and I have some debt that was charged off years ago from the original holder. These don’t even show up on my credit anymore EXCEPT as account inquries from companies showing they bought the debt (or whatever the do to get it) and now they are harassing me, there is no phone number listed for these people…any of them…though I supoose with some googling I could get it, but can I really tell them to shove off since technically the debt was once mine even though it wasn’t with them and since the original account no longer shows on credit…? These are accounts listed as inquiries seperate from promotional inquiries (I.e. geico) which I just learned I could opt our of and did. 

I sometimes get mail from these people, but honestly if I get mail with my maiden name on it that was changed more than a decade ago I chuck it.

Help in understanding my “rights” …
