No they cannot put you in jail; all they can do is sue you.

They cannot put you into jail. In fact, threatening to do so is a violation of several debt collection laws. The next time they call you, tell them you do not owe the debt and to stop calling you.

You can not be put in jail. You should see an attorney who is familiar with FDCPA violations
