Consumer complaint received 01/14/2016 about Debt collection (I do not know) with TrueAccord Corp. (FL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received the following series of emails from a company called TruAccord who was initially collecting on a debt for XXXX XXXX which is me but they later acknowledge my cease & desist request calling my XXXX ( my ex-husband ) and continued to try and collect from, this company has no idea who owns the debt is trying to collect from one of us but neither of us owe it : " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX Unsubscribe XXXX XXXX ( 2 days ago ) to me This is an important message for XXXX XXXX. If you are not them, please disregard and delete it. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( owner of your XXXX XXXX balance ) feels like you 're taking advantage of them, and they 're kind of right. Let 's just take care of this balance now and be done with it. It 's not like we 're going to give up on this. 

Can you pay now? 

Thanks. '' I responded with a Cease & Desist order on XXXX/XXXX/2016 as follows : " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 1 day ago ) to XXXX Well let 's see if you can handle this! 

This is your official notice to cease & desist immediately. If you continue to harass me for money I do not owe, I will contact my attorney. DO NOT CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL, MAIL OR PHONE AGAIN! IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF FDCPA LAWS & I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT! 

THIS EMAIL REQUIRES YOU TO IMMEDIATELY CEASE & DESIST ALL CONTACT WITH XXXX XXXX! FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN A COMPLAINT BEING FILED WITH THE FTC. ALL EVIDENCE WILL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE COMPLAINT. IN ADDITION, CONTINUED CONTACT MAY ALSO RESULT IN A CIVIL LAWSUIT BEING AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL COLLECTOR, YOUR COMPANY AND ANYONE INVOLVED IN YOUR ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT THIS FRAUDULENT DEBT. 

I hope I 'm making myself clear! 

Good day! '' TrueAccord then acknowledged my cease & desist request but replied to XXXX ( my ex-husband ) after stating this was my debt in the 1st email and continued to try and collect this debt from me in the email received below on XXXX/XXXX/2016 : " TrueAccord Support XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 5 hours ago ) to me Dear XXXX, We have processed your request and will no longer contact you. 

We can stop communicating with you about this debt, but you are in a debt collection process with XXXX and we are the collectors. We strive to do our best to help people in debt, and we can help you too. 

Getting us to stop communication does n't invalidate the debt. It does n't stop interest where applicable and it may affect your future financial standing. 

We retain the right to employ future collection efforts as needed, but we prefer working with you directly. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX.
