What can I say to stop them? I really have never had to deal with people calling and calling about anything I have ever owed on before.

Option 1: Just demand to the creditors that all future correspondences must be in writing only and if they fail to comply you will report them for harassment. (mention fair debt collection, and no mention that you are someone else)
Option 2: Ask for supervisor and get one. Explain that you just got this number and that they must update their information immediately or you will exercise all of your rights to litigate. (again mention fair debt collection).
Option 3: Get a new number assigned.
Option 4: Become a philanthropist and pay off the persons debt.
