You should make the payment to the debt collection agency, and not to the original creditor. In most cases, the debt has been sold and the payments made to the creditor will not be credited to your debt. Make your payments to the entity specified by the collection agency.

If you don't owe the bill, don't pay it just to make the debt collection agency leave you alone. If you pay it, you are acknowledging it. This will leave a negative mark on your credit report.

If a debt collector makes any threats, expressed or implied, uses profanity or abusive language, discusses your debts with third parties or harasses you, you need to speak with an attorney. Look for one that has expertise in the FDCPA and other relevant laws.

And even if you are not the person the collector is calling for, you should try to respond to the debt collection calls. Don't just ignore them. Avoiding the calls will mean that you just have more calls. If you are the debtor, ignoring the calls will just lead to a lawsuit and a judgment against you. You will have to pay the debt eventually. Avoiding it will not make it go away.
