Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues California

On - - I received an email thanking me for a recent transfer I had made through moneygram, since I had not made a transfer through their service for at least a year and a half I called them to inquire about the email. They told me they could not tell me about any recent transactions, and that they had closed my online account for security reasons I asked them why they closed the account they said they could not tell me. I checked my bank and my credit cards and there had been no withdrawls for moneygram so I assumed it was a mistake. Then, today I I received - collection letters - for online transfers that I was alleged to have made via my moneygram account on - - 2016. I called moneygram they said that they could not tell me who initiated the transfers, but they were made on my account so I needed to pay for them. I explained that I had not logged into the account for over a year and that no transactions have appeared on my bank or credit cards. They claim that I 'stopped payment ' but will not tell me who the money was sent to, or what account they attempted to charge ( there were no attempts to charge either my bank account or my credit cards ) I told them that I could not even log into my account to check and see the details of these transfers I had allegedly made and they said that was too bad but it was there policy not to give out information. They are apparently affiliated with telecheck who sold the collection account to -. Moneygram just keeps telling me to complain to them or call my bank. My bank has nothing to do with this and both - and - want my bank account number, social security number and driver 's license number before they will talk to me, none of that information is relevant to this. Can you help me?
