Disputed $1611 Debt Letter Arrived Under Wrong Last Name

After numerous attempts to find the non-existent website, and further attempts waiting on the phone for 48 to 57 minutes each. I found this website and thank God!
I finally spoke with "Kelly" @ Afni; she wanted my SS#, my current addy & phone #; I told her I don't give out info and she should tell me what info she had. She said hold on while she accessed public records.
The letter came in the wrong last name! And when I said this to her she said: "So you never had any boyfriends w / this last name? You're sure you never gave out your info?"
I have lived @ this addy for over 4 yrs. I have never prior to this received anything from VERIZON saying I owed a debt in the amount of $1611! Furthermore I've never had a landline # w / VERIZON. But did briefly use their internet service&snd if I owed that much they would've denied me!
If it was on my credit it would have hindered me from buying my house & leasing a van recently. But what really made "Kelly" mad was when I told her I've had no luck finding the website! She barked @ me: "well I haven't had any problems finding it!" OK but I tried on my computer, my daughters and a friends!
"Kelly" told me to write a letter to their addy in dispute to show proof of addy, a copy of my DL, a copy of my SS card, and a current police report saying I must be the victim of ID theft! Isn't it their job to prove me the debt?
I don't want this on my credit, but they're not getting any of my personal info to fix it so what do I do? Anyone have a sample of a letter I might send—I know I saw someone else said send it certified mail w / a return receipt&but can I do that to a PO Box?
Why did this always happen to the lil' guys? I 'm already struggling to get by—now this!
Frustrated beyond belief!
