Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts

Attachment of wages

Received a letter from a collection attorney stating that after repeated attempts to reach me, although I had never received any other corespondence before this, they and their client would attach my wages unless I contacted them. Their client was listed as Gulf State Credit, which I had never heard of. I have great credit and would bet my life I do not owe anyone anything. There is no amount stated on the letter and no account number. Can someone attach my wages?
