More details to this question:
A company called Quintz and Associates contacted me saying they are suing me. This is the first I have heard from the company and they are not willing to validate the Debt. They say they do not have to because the client they represent mailed a letter to an address I have not lived at in over 4 years. The first contact I have had with this company was this week.

It depends. If you requested in writing as required under the FDCPA, I would assume you provided the correct address, the answer would likely be yes. However, you also sound like there is a lawsuit pending, so much of what you want yo may be able to get through discovery.
