Identity Theft/Fraud

Options
I was recently contacted by a debt collector's company regarding an outstanding balance I had with Next. I had supposedly opened an account with Next Directory and made purchases from them. The purchase was made back in August 2008 from one of my previous addresses. I had moved from this address in August 2006.
Having liaised with both companies, it was confirmed that someone had used my name to make the purchase. They had used my name but different DOB. Because of all this I have been blacklisted and Next confirmed they had done that!
What do I do????
