EOS CCA Fraud, Scam, Centurylink, False Report Denver Colorado

 I was a Centurylink internet customer from 2008-2013.  I left Centurylink when I purchased a new home and changed providers.  My Centurylink account balance was paid in full upon departing.

In November 2014 I received a letter from EOS CCA claiming I owed $192.33 to them reference a Centurylink account from 2010, which they now control.

I had never received any correspondence from Centurylink, or any entity, relating to this alleged "debt".  I know 100% for a fact I settled my account.  Now years later, I'm being accused of incurring this debt. 

On Movember 21, 2014 I received a phone call from a suspect sounding collector from EOS CCA, asking for money reference the Centurylink account.  I refused to pay without verifying the legitimacy of the debt.

I called Centurlink, and centurylink has NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY DEBT.

I called EOS CCA back.  EOS CCA gave me a special number to relate to Centurylink.  I CALLED CENTURYLINK AGAIN, they verified my account theough the special number.  Centurylink still shows no debt at all of any kind.

EOS CCA is still attempting to blackmail me into paying them, stating the debt will hit my credit report next month.  I work hard, and my FICO is 730.  This should be criminal.

How can a debt sit in la-la-land from 2010 until November of 2014 (almost 5 years) and only then hit your credit report?  Because EOS CCA are theives and fraud is their specialty, apparently.
