Medical Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine North Carolina

The collection put a debt on my credit report which does not belong to me. It is a medical bill which belong to a child. When I called the company regarding the debt they told me I had to find out the information for the child in question and give it to them or that they would continue to report it as my debt. I told them I did not know anything about the child in question. I only knew the child 's name because one of their nicer creditors told me. I called the hospital in question regarding the debt and they said, clearly the debt do not belong to me and they have no record of any debt for me. When I called the collection agency back and informed them what the hospital stated, they said I had to send them in writing a letter disputing the debt which I did. They intern, sent me back a response stating " due to the concerns outlined in the letter I sent, their office has reviewed the account.
