A Property I Rented Almost 2 Decades Ago Has Me Listed As The Owner

New account because I forgot my login on my other and I never really used it anyway.
Like the title says, I rented a stand alone house for about 5 years between 2008-2013, and have since moved across the country. This was in Florida, I’m now in California. I’ve started getting calls more and more frequently in the past 6 months asking if I want repairs, am looking to refinance, and all sorts of other things related to ownership of the property. The latest caller said I was listed as the owner and/or owner of the insurance on the house. I only ever rented, and have no idea how my information was picked up to be used in this way, but it’s starting to worry me that it might affect my credit score or ability to purchase a house in the future. At the very least, I’d like the calls to stop. Who do I even report this to? How would I be listed as the owner 15 years after I moved? Should I even worry? TYIA for your help, I’m just getting so tired of these calls and don’t know what, if anything, I should do.
