They are likely to either have been employed by one of your wife's creditors or have tried your number at random and struck lucky in finding a "live" one.
Have they got any other details about you or are they fishing for information ?

Dave, could you please take your caps lock off ? It is considered shouting. Thanks
When and if you speak to them do not give them any information, let them do the talking and agree to nothing.

Where a company leaves information in this way they are basically blagging i.e. hoping to get more information from you than they already had as part of the follow up call.
Any legitimate company will leave a voice mail explaining who they are plus if you ring and they say "We cannot tell you the nature of the call at this stage but for data protection reasons can you confirm x, y or z" don't take it any further and just ignore their calls.
Any legitimate company should be able to explain who they are, why they are ringing you and what gives then the power (if applicable).
