The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 USC, Section 1692c(C) CEASING COMMUNICATION reads "If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or the consumer writes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer..." So the magic phrase is "in writing". This type of letter is known as a "cease & desist" letter or C&D. Collection agencies only have to obey this provision of the law when it is in writing. Send your letter via certified mail, return receipt requested. If the collection agency contacts you again, you can sue them for violation of the law. You might also want to dispute this debt at the same time.
The total account debt as of the statement date is called the balance.

Debt is a ubiquitous problem in America today. According to the Federal Reserve, as of December 2010 total consumer debt stood at $2.4 trillion. This load is divided into revolving and non-revolving debt. Revolving debt consists of mostly credit card debt. Non-revolving debt consists of mortgages, loans and other outstanding debt. Despite this seemingly overwhelming burden, most consumers still want to save money. They may consider debt consolidation as a solution. The problem is that consolidation may end up raising their monthly payment beyond their means. Debt consolidation calculators can help them figure out if this option is right for them. The calculator takes basic data and gives the consumer their estimated monthly payment. The consumer inputs the amount of each credit card, mortgage and other outstanding loans. The consumer then adjusts the terms of the estimated consolidation loan such as the interest rate and duration. With this information, the consumer can then look for a lender willing to make this loan to them.
