credit solutions trying to call asking for someone else

Credit solutions are trying to call me an left an answear phone message asking for a woman. Well that's not my name!
I don't owe anything in my name that's for sure.
So what do I do ignore them?
Inform them the number they have is not for the person they are after?

I'm scared if I was to give them my address/name/details etc they will try an hound me for this debt. Mobile phone calls are one thing but they might not believe me if I say this phone doesnot belong to the person you are after an send letters etc.
Plus i don't want to waste my phone bill calling them

You don't have to do anything. If they call again, either reject the call or answer it. If you answer, when they ask for "woman" simply explain that they have the wrong number, you aren't the person they are looking for.

If they ask you to prove it just laugh! You do not have to tell them who you are or where you live. They can't write to you if you don't tell them who you are or where you live.

Just reading about them tracing people. If they have this mobile number can they gain more details about me?

Just read about this debt collection agency contacting someone's mother! I don't want my poor family contacted about someone they have never heard of lol.
I have no experience with this as I have never been in debt and don't want to get hounded.

You could try emailing or writing to them, provide your number and ask that they remove this from their system as it does not belong to the person they are looking for.
Someone with more knowledge may be able to confirm this, but I think they have to remove any number from their system when you ask, whether you owe money or not.
If they don't then you can report them to the FSA
