Scam, they say i was being sued over unpaid hospital bill

I am worried because I gave them my date of birth and last 4 of my social security number before they would tell me what the call is about. Wanting to collect on something what was paid off 15 years ago.

If your feel you SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS.  Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039). Also file a report at the FTC Identity Theft web site as well as learn what else you need to do:

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

I had a call come in from a restricted number, the woman asked for me and said I need to call this # so they can serve me urgent documents.  She gave me this 855 # and case # to refer to when I call them to arrange a time. She kept saying it is urgent. Never told me the name of her company.

If you were really being served you wouldn't be warned in advance because then you could simply avoid the process server. They also will not tell you you can pay them to prevent being served. Just block and ignore this number.

Also received call, she used last name I no longer have and gave a case number.
