Ask AIT Credit Services if they have any proof or verification that the debt is yours. If so, request for a written letter that states it as such, as well as contact information on who the debt is owed to.
If the debt has been authorized, and you are still being harassed, then send a cease and desist letter to the company. Make sure to make a copy for yourself as well, in case AIT attempts to fudge the letter up.
