Who to talk to about Debt Agency harrassment

Not sure if this is the correct place so bear with me.
I am receiving chasing calls for someone unknown to me from debt collection agencies. I always get two calls from one company, tell them they have the wrong number and the name they have is unknown to me, then about a month later I get two more calls from a different company.
I have asked each company to reveal the name of their client who is passing them my number incorrectly however they refuse citing the Data Protection Act.
Although this does not technically constitute harassment by the Debt co's I feel the fact that the process repeats itself is harassment by their client.
Is there anyone I can contact to get this sorted?
