General

TrueAccord is a debt collection company started by people who had experienced bad treatment in the debt collection process. We recognized an opportunity to build a system to fundamentally change debt collection, so we created TrueAccord to turn collections into a recovery and reconciliaton process.

TrueAccord is reinventing debt collection. We are using automation and machine learning to communicate with consumers primarily through email to reduce the anger and stress that can be a part of the debt collection process. We understand that sometimes people are stretched thin financially. At TrueAccord we offer online tools giving customers choices to take control of and pay their debts.

The best way to get in touch with us is to send us an email at support@trueaccord.com or call us at (866) 611-2731. We look forward to speaking with you. Our mailing address is 16011 College Blvd, Suite 130 in Lenexa, KS 66219. Our operating hours are 8am to 7pm ET, Monday to Friday.

Communications

We are contacting you because an unpaid account in your name has been placed in our office for collection. We want to work with you to resolve your debt and get you onto the path of financial freedom.
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a debt collector is generally not permitted to disclose information about a consumer’s account to anyone other than the account holder without consent. So, when a debt collector gets someone on the phone, the collector is obligated to verify that the person they are speaking with is the account holder. This is often done by verifying a combination of information such as:
  • Full Legal Name
  • Date of birth
  • Last four digits of a Social Security Number
  • Complete mailing address
Once the agent verifies that they are speaking with the account holder, the agent can explain the status of the account and answer any questions you may have about your debt. When a consumer refuses to verify their identity, this often puts a strain on the conversation. The called party, often out of fear they will be scammed, will not share any information, and the collector, by law, cannot share any information until they confirm with personal identifying information that they have the correct consumer on the phone. If you are an account holder and you feel uncomfortable sharing your information over the phone, you can use your TrueAccord account number and evaluate your options on our website. If you are a family member, friend or employer of the consumer, you are considered a “third party.” Without the consent of the account holder, a debt collector cannot give third parties any information about the reason for the call. In fact, the law only permits the agent to reveal the name of the debt collection company, if asked by the third party.

At TrueAccord we talk to our customers in a variety of ways. Emails, letters and calls are just a few of the methods we use.

To assist our team in reaching our customers efficiently and consistently we sometimes use automation software to schedule and send messages. These messages have all been written and reviewed by a TrueAccord team member but are sent automatically by our software.

To provide meaning our automated messages use virtual sender names. These virtual sender names are grouped and referred to as our “Automated Staff”. We believe transparency increases trust, removes hidden agendas and provides a better customer experience. So to act according to this conviction we’re publishing a directory of our automated staff names so that you, the customer, can be sure that when you receive a message from us its authenticity can be verified.
