Any thoughts on how to word this any differently?

The people who had this phone number last keep getting collections calls from this one company. They call our house 6 or 7 times a day. I have said, "Sorry, you have the wrong number." "Sorry there is nobody here by that name." "Please stop calling. The people you are trying to reach do not live at this number and I have never heard of them." "No I am not Mrs. Konig, I don't know a Mrs. Konig. No Konigs live here. STOP CALLING." "Do a reverse look up of our phone number. You will see that it's not the Konigs number anymore. Please stop calling here."

None of this has worked. They still call her 6 or 7 times a day.

You say Mrs Konig doesn't live here anymore but I have her new phone number it is. ___-____ (make something up) Problem solved.

Ugh I know how frustrating that is. I kept on getting one of those collection calls on my cell for I guess the person that had that same number before. It wasn't even a person calling it was a recording so I couldn't even tell them. It just said "press __# if you're __[insert name]_ so you can pay your debt. If you're not ___ hang up now" or something like that. Thankfully after a couple months the calls stopped.

Do you have caller ID? Is it coming from the same call center each time with the same number? Maybe you can block the number....?

You could also ask to speak to a supervisor, if you haven't already.

Tell them you killed Mrs. Konig, but are currently wearing her skin. How can you help?

I don't know about Canada but in the US there are laws about what collection companies can't do. We had a collection agency calling at an old employer of mine about someone who no longer worked for the company. We mailed them a certified letter telling them to stop calling and when they called the next time we told them over the phone and I gave them the tracking number. They never called again because they are legally obligated to cease and desist if you give them written notification. Even if you were Mrs. Konig you could force them to stop calling you.
