Bill for Bank Account Never Opened and Collector Threats

I got a bill for 15-hundred bucks allegedly from a bank that I've never done business with. When I call them I get folks with fake accents that are so blatant it's sad. Tried blaming other people in my household when I lived alone at the time. Lots of 'next step' lingo and no regard for my repeated statements that I've never even banked with the firm in question. Now all I get are letters demanding payment or police reports and threats of terminating investigations and returning it to the 'collection floor'.

I love how they demand account information yet offer none. Thank God I live a no credit lifestyle or these guys would have me so upset.

What damage if any can they do to us? And what must be done to close out these fraudulent accts?
