Midland Credit Management, Inc. (a.K. A Encore Capitol Group) Attempts to collect fictional debts against the elderly wife of a man dead 11 years

We received a letter from this company for a debt of 1800 dollars against my father who has been dead for 11 years. The employees of Midland tell us it was for an account from Siegal Catalog opened in 1976 and closed in 2003 (6 years after his death). They refuse to confirm it is the correct man by giving the last 4 of his SSN to my mother, his wife of 41 years.
Other than failing to confirm the man and the debt they lied and mislead in several ways:
The employees claim they have 600 total employment.
The refuse to offer the call to supervisory staff.
They claim to have 4 branch locations.
They refuse to acknowledge their street address.
They hanged up on my mother when she told them he was dead for 11 years.
They refuse to discuss the items supposedly purchased from Spiegal.
They claim they have the right to collect a debt as old as 1976.

I have contacted the States Attourney Generals office for a complaint form and am in the process of fililng a complaint with the FTC.

Does anyone know if this company can be shut down for fraud in trying to collect debts obviously outside the statute of limitations and against dead people?
