I have been getting harassing phone calls and letters about a so called debt owed to Southwestern Bell Mobile.  I've never lived in Texas and never even heard of Southwestern Bell Mobile until the harassment started.They offered to settle a debt of $771.21 for $269.92 and are threatening judgment for something we don't owe. I refuse to pay and I will report them to FDC.

    Northland Group has a long history of harassing people who don't owe them.  They appear to prefer to engage in telephone harassment of anyone they can find with a similar name, rather than spend any money locating whoever actually owes their alleged debts.  There are many reports of such behavior on ripoffreport.com, including consistent reports both of abusive calls and harassing the wrong person.

    You should send a written dispute of the debt and demand that they provide proof you actually owe it.  Include in your letter that you have never had a Southwestern Bell Mobile account, nor have you ever lived in Texas.  Also include that it is inconvenient for you to receive their harassing calls at any time.  Send your letter certified return receipt requested.

    File complaints with FTC, the Minnesota Attorney General, and your state Attorney General for their violations of FDCPA and state laws.
