More details to this question:
I received an e-mail from my bank stating my checking account was court ordered frozen the person they are seeking is my son, same name and address, I called the bank and was transferred to the court officer, it was after business hours and I left a message, shouldn't they check SS#'s before serving the bank? what recourse do I have? This happened about 10 years ago and I was forced to make calls to the attorney handling this and they in turn called the court officer to release the hold, I shouldn't have to go through this again

I had a client with the exact same problem. Son's name was Jonathan, father's (client's) name was John. Judgment was properly made in son's name but father was receiving collections notices on the judgment. Like you, I contacted the original attorney who got the judgment who admitted the collection's company 1) was making a mistake; and 2) should not even have been given this for collections as the attorneys were handling it. They, and the original client contacted the collections agents to make sure that they stopped bothering my client and that there were no adverse credit reports against him. Main threat I made was that they could face being sued under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
