In case you are getting calls from the wonderful people at NCO Financial Systems. You should read some messages people have posted about this company. Apart from having to pay $1.5 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that it violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), there are also many many claims of state and federal violations of legislation like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
The company purchases old debt from people like your cellphone provider, hospitals and the government for pennies on the dollar and then tries to collect it. You may have even already paid the bill, like I had, but that is really a minor irrelevant point. The reality is, much if not most of this debt is so old noone has any obligation to repay any of it, least of all not to NCO. Many people have been harassed for debt belonging to neighbors, relatives, old residents of the same address, and co-workers. Don’t pay NCO a penny.
If you receive letters or phone calls from NCO or phone numbers like
800-709-8625 or 888-804-3488 or 877-803-8009 or 800-541-2742 or 888-688-7929 or 800-445-4918 or 866-569-8956 or 800-218-1175 or 800-448-9576 or 800-684-8429 or 866-429-3592 or 800-976-8307 or 877-871-6484 or 800-735-6588 or 800-220-1942 or 877-778-1799 or 800-227-4000 or 800-807-7809 or 866-626-9112 or 866-425-8131 or 800-967-4100 or 877-252-4534 or 877-202-9074 or 888-691-8955 or 888-259-3021 or 800-437-7403 or
800-383-4761 or 866-360-9791 you should read this page about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If NCO does anything wrong with you, you could be entitled to $1000 per infraction and they may have to pay your lawyer and possibly even your debt.
To halt their “contact”, send NCO a certified, return-receipt cease and desist letter (they throw away all faxes and non-certified letters). A sample letter might read (though, you must seek real legal advice, which I’m not):
This is to advise you that pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) 15 USC 1692c(c), you are hereby notified to immediately terminate any contact with me, or any members of my family or household, regarding any matter concerning the collection of a debt you allege is owed to your company or to your principal/customer/client. This notice shall include, but is not limited to written correspondence, as well as telephonic communication. This letter also verifies that I live at the address above, therefore, any further locator attempts would be a violation of the FDCPA.

Is NCO calling you? Do you have a new NCO phone number or information? Please leave a comment and share it with the rest of us. Thanks!
NCO may or may not report your debt dispute with them on your credit report. It is important to make sure that if NCO puts anything on your credit report, all of the information is accurate, such as date of debt, last activity on account and the correct amount. That information is not always placed on all three major reports and your valid creditors usually only check one of these sources, so make sure you check all three (TransUnion, Equifax and Experian) for correct information. You should also check your credit score at these agencies to see the impact of your debt history on your credit-worthiness. Click to obtain a copy of your 3-in-1 Credit Report.
If NCO does not leave you alone, Lexington Law is an affordable legal tool to get them to stop calling and writing you. They are also very effective at deleting the negative information off of your credit reports.
For help fixing your credit report, you can reach Lexington Law at 877-699-5735.
Oh, and Miss Hill, thanks for calling ;)
Important! File a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General – easy online form (NCO is a PA company and PA is investigating NCO)
P.S. The Pennsylvania Attorney General recently finished a big case against them, though the complaints continue.

In addition to the FTC, also report lowlife companies like NCO to your state Attorney General as well as your state Dept. of Licensing. All collection companies, regardless of where they are located must by law, have a license issued from EVERY state they try to collect in, and recently several have been caught fat & happy without one. Many such state licensing departments have their own C.A. boards whose sole purpose is to make life hell for rouge collectors who don’t play by the rules. Several years ago, we were being illegally hounded by two really nasty agencies for other people’s accounts. They made it clear they didn’t have to stop harassing us, but a few of these written complaints changed their minds real fast! One thing that works well is to file complaints of violations BEFORE sending them a DV letter and telling them the complaints will be renewed every time you hear from them. We never heard from them again, and just for good measure, we found the people they were looking for and turned them on to every consumer protection website out there, including Budd Hibbs. Hey, you tip your hand, you get it slapped!

NCO made a mistake by targeting me. I have learned the real laws. Understand the differences between artificial person and natural person. I copyrighted my fiction. My name in all capitol letters. Anyone or any business attempts to use my name in all Capitol letters and make money using it, they are in violation. The fine is one million dollars in silver specie due to me for every violation per issuer and user. That is silver dollars. Not federal reserve notes. I used stamps autographed by me to invoke the power of the UPU. Got them by the b@!!$ now!

How many phone numbers those this NCO Financial have ??????? Wow. By the way this is another number — 1866-671-7222.
Got a voicemail message from NCO tonight. First time I have heard of them, and am not aware of any outstanding debts. Haven’t called them back yet. The callback number they left was 800-485-2202.
new phone number 888-245-3420
I was checking my credit report and noticed a $500 past due note from NCO and have no clue what it is strange that is an even $500.00 so I gave them a call and they asked for info and told me they have no information with an account with that balance she did tell me there was one in 2010 but its been payed and she told me to look at my credit report and give her the claim number. I didn’t have the report handy so I asked why she couldn’t search and I didn’t get an answer after several attempts I gave up. Should I call back with the acct # or just report the problem, I don’t recall any debt that. I have and due to all negative comments concerned if.they’re trying to pull a a fast one on me granted I won’t pay unless I know.but shouldn’t they know if I.owe them?
Contact credit reporting agencies and dispute the debt. They will investigate and remove if paid off.
Think about exactly what kind of a person would accept a job where the job description is to harass people, all day long, every day. If they didn’t have that job they probably wouldn’t have any job. The only job requirement is that you know how to sit at a make-shift desk in a dingy building, barking at people on the phone all day.
Worst case, even if the person they are calling really does owe them money, realistically, no one is going to send a check to a nasty jackass who lacks professionalism and who works for a shady outfit with unscrupulous business practices.
I currently work for NCO Financial..and to tell you they have a screen called the “Z” SCREEN…NOW PLEASE NOTE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ASK FOR 100 % OF THE BAL..BUT YOU CAN PAY 60% OR BELOW TO SETTLE YOU HAVE 12 MONTHS IN PAY INSTALLMENTS…DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY TELL YOU..THEY EVEN CAN GO AS LOW AS 50% LOL….THESE COLLECTORS WORK ON COMMISSION THE RECIEVE FROM 1600 TO 3500 PER MONTH COLLECTING FROM YOU…THE MORE THEY COLLECT FOR A DEBTOR THE MORE COMMISSION THE COLLECTOR GET…….YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL THEN TO CEASED ALL CALLS OR DISPUTE BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAY…YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO FIGHT TO PAY THE AMOUNT FROM THE “Z” SCREEN. OH ONE MORE THING THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO TELL YOU THIS HOWEVER…THEY CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT YOUR CREDIT BUREAU..THAT’S THE “O”SCREEN…
NCO Financial Systems depends on you picking up the phone when they call you. That’s how they make money. Once you pick up and say, “Hello?” they got you. First, they record all calls, and the creditors are able to listen to the recording. Second, when they make a contact, you picking up, your phone number goes right to Robo calling, which could mean twenty to fifty calls per day for the next seven years, or until you pay. Third, if you blow them off, and you have a job, and you are under sixty, you go to the lawyers. It’s real simple, folks, if a collection agency calls, tell them to stop calling and hang up. If the debt goes to the credit bureaus, dispute it. Even if they can prove you owe the debt, as long as you stick to that one single word: dispute. (You are not legally obligated to give a reason, and by law, they are legally obligated to dispute your debt for you) They are then forced to write it off. You are not bound to pay a disputed debt.
I was contacted today by a girl named Lindsey, she was very rude and asked me if I was going to pay my f*****g bill. I hung up and she called me back and called me a b***h!! called to report her to the manager and got passed around like a hot potatoe, then was told to try to call back tomorrow to talk to another manager.
These idiots called here this morning looking for someone named John Stanley H***** I explained to her there was a John Andrew H**** at this number and she kept insisting on speaking to John or Stanley. She then gave me a reference number KK9345 and a phone number 800-350-2457. I asked her again why she was calling because the person and company she named were no one I had heard of. She asked if John was still affiliated with so and so company. I told her again there was no one here by that name and she said “never mind”. I asked her if she wanted me to have John A call and she said she had the wrong person. This after telling me all the details about John Stanley’s debt. Pretty classy place

They have called my house over 20 times within the last week. Sometimes the caller ID says Mountain View, CA, sometimes it says TATA communications, and sometimes it just says unavailable. I generally don’t answer calls from numbers I’m not familiar with but I finally answered today to find out who was making these obnoxious calls. They were actually calling in reference to my nephew and wanted his contact information, place of business etc. They told me he had opened a business account with them and used me as a reference. They said they needed to update his information. I told them I didn’t feel comfortable giving out his personal information to a total stranger calling me up on the phone. I said I would have him call them back if he felt the need to do so. The number they gave me for him to call was 866-412-0810. I decided to check out the name of their business and discovered all the bad reports about them! Geez! I certainly hope they don’t decide to continue to harass me. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that my nephew has outstanding debts, but I would never advice him to do business with this company as a way to settle those debts.
I have been receiving calls from NCO for a long time now and it all seemed a bit fishy but i am in debt with a hospital bill that and when i talked to the lady she said something about Mcare . so i was to pay $50 to them. I paid the $50 then she said there is a $12 assessment fee. what should i do they keep calling me but ive been doing a lot more research on them and they dont seem creditable at all. please help.
stop paying them immediately. never, ever pay this company anything. they are scammers.
Chinese man answers when I call (855) 8515335 & says “Protecting America”, is this NCO a collection agency or somebody else? Homeland Security? Cheney? AOL? ATT? We have so many spy agencies; we live in a National Security State
I received two voicemails from NCO Holding about debt collection that sounded absurdly shady. Who leaves a voice-mail about debt collection with no information about the debtor??!!
“This message is from NCO Financial Systems, Inc. We’re a debt collection agency looking to collect on a debt. Please call us back at 888-579-0626?
I have ZERO Debt! My mom does my taxes and she is a CPA. Lucky for me I keep pretty close tabs on these issues and according to a credit report that I received 2 weeks ago from Experian – no debt!
By no means am I going to call them back – but next time I will pick up.
I have always found that swearing loudly at these kinds of people works—sometimes. If not, you can always blow a whistle in the phone when they come on the line.

By their own admission, via my call to them, they are charging me an erroneous fee. As God is my witness, I will be reimbursed!
number I don’t see here for NCO:
800-956-4638
Seems they also falsify their caller ID as Budget Cleaning Services.
I can’t confirm the falsified name, but I can confirm that is a number they leave in their voice mail message to reach Anthony Davis.
New number 215-441-3000
Received a call from NCO Today. He left a voice mail saying Federal law Prohibited him from saying anything about WHY he is calling on a voice mail. just left a number and demanded that I call him back. I pulled my credit report to see why they would be calling. A medical bill that we had paid way back in 2006 is showing a 0 balance there name NCO was listed as the new owners. I have a pretty good idea what debt they are attempting to collect on. If they want 0 dollars I will be happy to send it too them. Also a rule to anyone reading this. If they request your bank information. DO NOT! give them any. they will rob you blind.
yeah but what if you really ow say a phone company ? what then ? do you arrange paiements with them or not ?
If you owe a debt you should pay the debt. However, don’t pay a single penny to NCO…pay the bill directly with the original creditor. There are a lot of comments online stating that NCO may not actually credit your payment correctly or request multiple payments from you.
Hey, Dan: there’s this handy little function on your computer known as “Spell-Check” that you might want to try. As for a phone company, I would pay them, but would gladly use two cans and a string before I would ever give a dime to the vermin at NCO. These scum deserve every bit of bad press they have and then some. They are officially listed among America’s top 10 worst collection agencies, although their tactics have no place in America. It’s a horrible reputation the brought entirely on themselves through their absolute lack of ethics or professionalism. They don’t care if you ever owed the debt or not just as long as they can scam it out of you or anyone else. They hounded us for months over someone else’s expired accounts and only stopped after we reported them to our state licensing Dept. and the FTC. We also located the person they were looking for and told him all about where he could go to learn about his rights under the FDCPA. Now, his old time-barred accounts are really worth their weight in dog shit!

new number!!!!
I received my first call from NCO yesterday. We receive a lot of wrong numbers for some reason, so I was going to go through and call these places back to get them to stop calling. First I wanted to research the companies I was calling. We’re trying to buy a house and we don’t want anything to mess up our credit. The message didn’t say who they were looking for, just “This message is from NCO Financial Systems, Inc. We’re a debt collection agency looking to collect on a debt. Please call us back at 888-579-0626″ We’re very very careful with our bills and I can guarantee we owe nothing.
It could be regarding a relative or someone with the same last name in your town. I received one today for a relative. They were cold-calling people in my town with the same last name on the hope someone would know the person and give them info. No matter who is calling, people need to remember to not give anyone info of any kind over the phone. Buy, people more often than not will do so in an effort to be helpful, I guess. Your best bet is to just say you have no idea who the person is. Never hear of them, don’t live here, etc.

New phone number that NCO is calling from is 888-724-9267. They first called a few days ago stating they were trying to collect on a Maryland state tax in the amount of $1500 from tax year 2002. I have never heard from Maryland on this amount for that tax year since that year so this was “out of the blue”. Then today I received a letter with all the details. Owing 642 bucks and 717 dollars in interest and 171 bucks in “penalty”. I will write letter you suggested and send it certified. Thanks for your help.

Is this the same company that operates out of trenton New Jersey?
They are coming after me for overdraft charges that I disputed against Bank of America. The Bank has been settling this fraudulous practice but NCO thinks I have to pay them more than $200. I never used this money. My account was mistankenly overdrawn for $1.85 and the bank charged me $36 the first time, and kept incrementing this to more than $200 when I refused to pay. Now the bank is under attack in many states. They’ve recently settled the overdraft issue with the Attorney General office in Florida. Did NCO not get the memo?

I have been dealing with them for over 8 years they call about a fraudulent phone bill that was assumed by my brother when he lived in San Antonio. I have proven that I have never lived there and they then say they are removing the account. Wait a few years and they start contacting me again. This has gone on and on. I guess I will resort to paying for legal help as opposed to paying these crooks.
get an unlisted number or a cell phone under your wife or relative’s name. Otherwise, get caller ID and don’t answer the phone when you see a strange number calling.
I have been recieving calls weekly from 800-711-2735 for several months. It’s a recorded message saying to call and speak to Larry Furlong. During the first call I told them that they had the wrong number and I could not help them. I refered them to our freight manager, with phone number and email. As it turns out, the bill they are trying to collect on was paid in 2008! I am sick of these jerks! Now that I have done some research and know they are leeches and shysters I won’t feel the need to be nice to them anymore.
they just called and left the “please call Lucy Decker back at 866-849-6441″ Of course, that was the number they called on. Sounds fishy to me since they did not state a name, reason for debt, AND it was a recording.
New phone number 800 597 4549
I have been getting phone calls from an agency claiming to be NCO and they leave a number to contact Mike (somebody). I called because they are calling a business and I know the bills are paid. So when I call it refers me to another number for me to have a good time…………meaning sex etc. WTH is wrong with people?
Yesterday we noticed on our bank account that we had $471.20 taken out of our account as a cashed check. We contacted bank and was told that NCO Financial had called in our account number as a check. We owe $384 for back state taxes and we don’t dispute this debt. NCO was supposedly given our account information by the IRS. Is this not an illegal act. How is it right that a debt collection agency such as this gets our account information and actually takes money from our account.
you should contact IRS and find out what is going on. I thought I had heard something about IRS using private debt collectors, but I am not sure if true or not. IRS has the power to levy your bank account, but things have gone downhill there and they are now afraid to use all their powers in fear of getting congressional complaints about levying, etc. However, you should contact them and ask about the status of your unpaid liability. They can tell you if an outside collection agency is involved, or in what status your account is in.
Some guy named John Ackerly from NCO keeps calling and refuses to remove our number from their list. No idea who he’s looking for and refuses to listen when we tell him that. His number is 215-441-3000. I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate calls like these~
Hi, folks, NCO Financial Systems is asking congress to pass H.R. 3035, the Mobile Informaion Call Act. If passed, this law will affect your cell phone and collection agancies, like NCO, calling your cell. Me, personally, I am calling my congress person asking: do not vote for this!
Hey Beaner, Just in case you have not already heard about 49 Attorney Generals from around the Country squashed that act which would have made Robo calls to Cell phones without consent legal. I have worked as a bill collector for 30 years and have never resorted to or agreed with the practice of using Robotic calling systems. In my opinion if you place a call to any phone number that is answered by an answer machine or voice mail then you should leave a message for the person you are trying to reach to call you back. The message should not include anything that suggests that the person owes you money and if you leave ten messages over a 30 day period without a return call, use your brain, it’s not rocket science, you either have the wrong number or the person you are trying to reach does not intend to call you back so stop wasting your time and harrasing the phone owner.
Yep even bill collectors can get tiered of Robo Calls.
calls non stop from 7am to 10 pm Mon – Friday. People don’t even call it’s a machine and they don’t say anything at all, they ust hang up when I answer/ It is freaking killing me!
I have been receiving calls from 800-684-8429 anywhere from 2-5 times a day. They ask for a man I do not know. After the upteenth time I begged them to stop calling as I have no earthly idea who this Christopher is. He’s most likely the person who previously had my phone number. How do I make this stop. I can’t just change my phone as it is a free phone for individuals receiving Disability Benefits. Whether I answer the phone or not, the frequent calls are a drain on my monthly minutes. I feel trapped by NCO.
I have the same problem with 2 different people. You can call that collection agency, they will remove from there list but in a few months a different collection agency will be calling for that person. The big picture is how do you get your telephone detached from that person. The collection agency won’t tell you the company looking for that person. I have had this phone number for more than 5 years and collection agencies started call about 2 years ago. Collection agencies are too stupid tell the company, the telephone number is wrong and should be removed from their files so that next company doesn’t that number again.
Hey Shelli,
I don’t know if you have actually answered any of the calls from 800-684-8429 or if they have been leaving messages or how you determined the calls are coming from NCO. However I am also recieving calls to my cell phone from that number which I have identified as coming from Household Bank aka Orchard Bank aka HSBC Finance Corporation Credit Card Collection services. Unless HSBC has contracted with NCO to do their Robo calls the calls are not from NCO. If you are still getting the calls contact them at 1-800-477-1024 or TDD/Hearing Impaired 1-800-395-9020 and send them a certified letter with a return reciept requested to HSBC Card Services PO Box 81622, Salinas CA. 93912-1622, explain what is happening and tell them to “CEASE and DESIST” or you will seek Legal Assistance. Even if you are the one that owes the money once you tell them to CEASE and DESIST the are required to stop under FEDERAL LAW. IF you owe them the money the only thing they can do then is leave it as a negative on your credit and/or file a lawsuit against you. If they continue after they receive the Certified letter judt do a google search for Debt Collection and look for attorneys who advertise that they will sue the debt collectors. It should not be a problem to get one to handle your case for no charge to you. Good Luck
Hi,
I’ve been harassed twice a day by the same number. The number shows up blocked, but they leave it on my voice-mail. (Seems counter-intuitive to me, but the last thing I’d give these people is the benefit of the doubt.)
1-866-695-3013
I sent them certified letter with Fedral Trade statute cease and desist, and they got it on October 10th, 2011. Today the 26th, NCO called me again.
I then filed online a formal complaint with Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office requesting mediation and to force them to stop calling.
Best that anyone can do unless there is a law firm willing to file a class action lawsuit.
Hey Dan,
See my reply comment to Shelli. The FTC is no longer an effective orginization when it comes to protecting consumers. The powers that once protected consumers through Government agencies like the FTC have been for the most part handed down to the individual consumers to deal with on their own. Most States now have laws on the books specifically for that purpose. By the way Dan just a little FYI the only people aa=who really win Class Actions Suits are the Attorneys, your better off going after them as an individual Consumer. Do the google search for FDCPA Attorneys and you can find lots of them who will handle the case at no charge to you.
pay your bills dirt balls and they wont have to call you. if you cant pay it you shouldn’t of spent it. get jobs!!!!
Hey Bubba, It’s “should have” moron. Just shows what kind of jerks work for these companies.
did you read the article or just skim through it?
The bill was paid way before NCO ever got involved! And they are still calling! Pay attention.
Hey bubba,
Are you a plumber? I know your not working for Mike Diamond cause you don’t smell to good.
Here is an idea, how about all you losers pay your bills and then we at NCO will not have to call you and every loser that you place on your application as a co-worker or family member. If you would just pay in the first place then debt collectors would not have to keep calling. Oh Yea and FYI there is no statue of limitation in a federal student loan jack a$$e$
Losers, huh? Well let me tell you, you’re the one who is a loser! FYI, many are not deadbeats as you suggest. I’m being harassed for an acct at Suntrust that I had cancelled.
I gave the woman at the bank the date I wanted it closed and left enough money in the acct. to cover anything else that may come through, plus banking fees.
I found out too late the acct was never closed and they kept hitting it with charges. I went back to the same woman I had spoken to originally and she refused to remove the charges. This was years ago and now NCO is harrassing me.
I even offered to pay, even though I didn’t owe it, just to get it straightened out. That was about 2 or 3 months. She said I couldn’t pay it there but wouldn’t tell me where to pay it!
All of a sudden, they started harassing me for the last 6 months with numerous calls every day. Yesterday, they called my relatives! They also called me, acting like it was some emergency call about a relative, yada, yada… I was on to them in a flash, and let them know I’ll be filing complaints and intend to sue.
I even managed to get the callers’ full name and tracked them down. Seems NCO is outsourcing their collecting to private individuals. I let those people know I intend to sue them as well as YOUR company!
Don’t you dare call me a deadbeat! I’ve worked hard all my life and paid my bills. Still do. You should be ashamed to work for such a company!
I am not a deadbeat. These douchebags have been harassing me for about a month. I have never had a credit card through them nor do I have any other outstanding debts. If I can’t afford it I don’t get it. Oh Nonya, learn to spell properly and perhaps you won’t have to work for extortionists, loser!
Hey, Nonya, these companies are not collecting on actual debts. They are trying to collect on debts that have already been paid or that never existed. As for losers, YOU are the loser for working for these people, which I can tell from your nasty response.
Hey Nonya,
I have been a profesional Bill Collector for 30 years. I have tried to put some integrity into the Industry while companies like NCO and people like yourself have continued to harras people. AND FURTHER MORE any one out there that’s getting ready to Sue NCO, make sure you include nonya’s most likely annonomous yet still harrasing comment as an example of their abusive tactics. I suggest your attorney may be able to subpena the records of this site to try to determine who the person is behind the comment. If not just have them include “nonya” along with Doe’s 1 through 1000 depending upon the number of employees NCO has, there is nothing to stop you from naming them all. Hey nonya, bet you thought you could get away with this one didn’t you. I wish you lots of Luck….. Thanks for your display of brilliance.
NCO just called me from 201-818-0316. They left a message and asked me to return the call. Who are they trying to kid?
Hi. I am trying to repay a student loan that they own now. how do i know if they are not going to just keep the money and not take it off my credit report. Should I contact the Better Buisness BEareu fist?
Yea, NCO will claim that they are representing an education creditor (student loan company). I really believe they are trying to collect on old bad or noncollectable debts they have purchased for little or nothing that the past creditor has written off. I was confronted with my supposed debt by NCO and I told them that I had all my past documentation, including my past attempted cooperation and compliance with the debt and that I was ready to go in front of a Judge when they (NCO) take me to court and sue me for the $$$. The NCO rep stated that that probably wouldn’t be a necessary thing to do and that is when I knew they were bluffing…
Bluffing huh… you are just saying your a deadbeat who doesnt pay his bills. Nice job loser!
that would be “you’re” a deadbeat…. please invest in a proper education before trolling.
No. These people keep calling my number even though I have told them repeatedly that no such people have lived at my address for the 25 years I have had this number. Obviously they only hire brain-damaged people like old-bill-collector.
If you want to repay your student loan I recommend that you contact the Government Agency where the loan originated and make arrangemnets with them directly. If NCO purchased the debt tell them to Cease & Desist and see my other comments for more details.
After getting 20 calls a day, really 15-20 per day, I just called told them to take me off their list and if I get 1 more call they would be hearing from my lawyer, and the said no problem my name and number is off of their list.
ALSO THEY CLAIM THEY ARE HANDLING THIS ACCOUNT FOR CVF
DO YOU ALL THINK ITS THEM BEING SHADDY?
they are calling and claiming they sold some of their accounts to
CVF CONSUMMERACQUISITION COMPANY, ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS

8They called me today with this number 877-268-4294
1-800-444-1107
NCO financial systems has called me several times during day, left msg to call them back, they that are attempting to collect a debt. I finally called to get them to stop bothering me and they put me on hold. phone is 800-735-6588. I hung up.
They can darned well send me a letter.
1-800-747-6058
NCO called from 2 numbers today [614-827-7500 and 866426-4288]. Everytime I block a number, they use a different number to call on. I requested validation; told “Summer” that I had sent out a cease and desist letter per my talk with the Attorney General’s office.
They have this claim on the beginning of call that they are recording the phone call, so when she came on, I told her, Hello Summer, I too am recording this phone call per the Attorney General’s recommendation, and this call can be used as proof in a court of law. She was absolutely friendly throughout the call; I wonder why?
I receive a phone call not even identify who it was for. called them the lady was rude as can be asking for me saying i owed a debt from 2005 and wouldn’t stop. i didn’t turn 18 until 2007 and i said that is kinda impossible. she said well its yours and then went on to say my husband had the same debt. makes no sense especially since i got a call last week from a different company for the same thing. NCO number they called from was 800-709-8625
I have been receiving calls for the last month or so, and I finally answered today. They acted as if they were my credit card company and said I have a debt that I do not actually have. I called the number back and it is NCO Systems. The phone number they called me from was (888) 579-0626.
I have just been contacted by NCO for the first time. I thought it odd that they wouldn’t identify what or who they represented…citing the “Privacy Act” as to why it was a secret. I told them it was a secret as to my information, and I was going to hang up it they didn’t identify themselves. The agent tried to repeat the above, and I hung up.
The number they called from is not on your list: 800-786-9330.
I shall do as you suggested.
I just received a letter indicating I owe $250. I don’t have any outstanding debts besides my student loans. I used to work as a bank teller, so I know what I spend and how much I spend. I usually pay cash with my debit card ONLY. Thanks to this site I found, I knew something was suspicious. Thank you.
This is the phone number on the letter: 800-477-1827
New number 1-800-824-9392
I got two calls and inmediately suspected foul play. Too bad for them, the phone was a temporary use of a dedicated internet connection, due to my regular line being out of order. So when they call again, no answer! I do not have any outstanding debts and never had used this phone number for any purpose other than connection to internet. I do not recommend returning their calls, since they will be able to identify the caller as a contact. This is a SCAM!!!
Just got a new home number and my cell phone is only for personal use I never put my cell on anything so just friends and family have it and this morning they called to both my home and cell. These people are so rude and could not even tell me what they were calling about and ended up hanging up on me.
# 215-441-3000 from Hatboro, PA
I’m 17 years old, I have no debt. I want you to stop blowing up my phone.
Stop trying to rob the cradle for money.
Thank you.
Sincerely, annoyed.
Recently got a cell phone for our middle schooler. Within one week started receiving robo calls from NCO. Suspicious that new cell phone number equals calls from NCO, like someone from the carrier sold our number. 800-728-3346.
The weird thing is, no one has EVER called me however, they put something on my credit report as a “Major Derogatory.” I have no idea what it’s about. I tried calling them, but the call just keeps being re-routed. Suggestions?
Try finding your bank account frozen by NCO, for back state taxes that were payed two years ago. What a mess, they are collecting for many states.
NCO has contacted me twice about 2 different people. One being my sister the other not even a relation to me. When i freak out the calls stop for a while but they always end up calling me back. the number they called me with this time was866-442-0536. when i tried to call it back it was about so dunlan gun. when i tell them i dont live with my sister they ask for her number. i hung up. this is bull crap!
Christine: contact an attorney. If you are contacted more that one time about another person, that is a violation. You are what is considered a 3rd party. It is against the FDCPA to contact you more that one time to contact a debtor.
The law is on your side!
Very important, Chrisine: never hang up, or ignore a letter from a collection agency: big mistake; on the other hand, never give information, even a question requiring a yes or no answer, get it in writing, make them prove you owe the debt–never take a voice over the phone as an authority! NEVER GIVE INFORMAION OVER THE PHONE: YOU ARE BEING RECORDED!
First thing, if you get a call, always get the name of the person calling you, (make them spell it; you are being recorded) the name of the collection agancy, and the address. They will try to fly this by you; it is your right under the law to know who is calling you. Next, ask the name and the phone number of the General Manager of the collection agancy; this is the guy most scared of losing his job: he gets paid big bucks. When you are satisfied the call is not about you, then contact an attorney. They can sue you and make you prove you don’t owe the debt. If you do all this, what will happen, is the debt collector will lose their cool and yell at you, then hang up on you:
Morgan and Morgan have a section dealing with FDCPA vioations.
Of course..so many scams, so many complaints..They will never learn, will they?Apparently they were sued for a few million dollars for violating the FDCPA time and again.
I am convinced it’s this company. They call our number several times a month asking to speak to a Mr. or Mrs. Gordon. There is no one here by that name, I’ll tell them. There now seems to be a call beforehand where I’ll answer and no one speaks. Then the call asking for Gordon. I live all the way over the pond in Northeast England! But, going on all your posts, I am certain it’s the same company because they seem to call all over. Hopefully they will be drummed out of business and face what they’ve done to folks.
I get calls daily, I have returned their calls a few times with no success in speaking with someone live. I’m going to continue to ignore them until I get a letter or something official that states what it is they want from me.
800-303-1410 they call every hour on the hour starting at 8:12am every day!!!
they called me one weekend and their number is 866-378-2735. . .EXT 5307 they said they were from the credit card company themselves not NCO until I got a letter over the weekend. . .I’m going to call my credit card company
866-341-8884, this is the number off of a letter that they sent me

NCO calls almost daily asking for someone with my same name (I have an extremely common last name), but I have no debt that would be in collection. They say that before they can tell me anything about the alleged debt, I have to tell them my date of birth. I say, “I’m not giving you any personal information until you tell me what this is regarding”. So we just go ’round in a circle. They’ve been calling for months, sometimes more than once a day, and they’ve given me no evidence that I am the person they’re looking for, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to get them to stop calling. That seems like harassment to me.
This is exactly what is happening to me. Their calls are becoming more frequent. I think I will have an attorney send them a cease and desist letter.
(888) 871 – 6484 Just got a call today and I have no debt with anyone.
My mother got a call at her house asking for me from the same number, 888-871-6484, Ext. 4774. and my credit is stellar and I owe nothing, not even a house payment.
888-813-1498 called me I have no debt. I paid off all my credit card debt a couple of years ago.

NCO calls me almost daily from 800-709-8625
Nco number i’m getting called by is 800-206-7177
They some how got my cell phone and work direct number. They call from 3-10 times per day. I don’t have any outstanding debt but i’m tired of being harrassed by this company. Any suggestions?
Hey, folks: big class action law-suit is now shaping up against NCO for calling cell phones. If they called your cell, contact an attorney right now and get in on the big payday. It is worth at least a $1,000.00. maybe more.
all they do is call my cell phone – after i’ve told them that i do not have unlimited minutes and not to call me. i’ve also sent them written notice not to call me but they still do. now they are saying that i have broken the law and they will report me. this was after i told them that they are in violation of the fdcpa. i am not some idiot – i work in finance and collections and i know the fdcpa! this debt was already paid almost 20 years ago but it reappeared and now i can’t get away from it. not only that but i have been paying just so they won’t sue me, take everything i have and garnish my accounts (their threats) and those payments are made ahead of the due date so they are up to date but every day, i get a call. they yell at me, call my 80 yr old grandmother and upset her and yelled at me so much the other day i had a panic attack. it is so upsetting but you know what they do? they will laugh at you. i’ve put in FOUR complaints with the ftc but nothing has been done and no one has contacted me. they call me multiple times per day and don’t hang up or they will call right back – which is harassment – but meh, no one will do anything to them.
Traci,
To end the harassment send to the contact person calling you a certified, return-receipt cease and desist letter. Any other letter is ignored. The certified sticker puts you on the list to receive $1000 for each phone call they make to you after the date on the return-receipt. (I’m not a lawyer, so do your due diligence.) Good luck, you deserve better.

Hi Jimmy!
I live in Latvia and have been recieving phone calls from NCO on my mobile and work. I’m not familiar with this collection agency business, but is it against the law for them to call me regarding my loans?
One thing I really would like to do is to validate that they have the right to collect on my debt. Do you know how can I do that?
Thanks a lot for your advice!
They have been calling my mother from the following # 866-473-8984. They are so incredibly rude and just vile people!

They have been calling me on the number866-849-6441
they have been calling multiple times each day for over a year. Initially they were horrible in talking to us like we were criminals. They were seeking a person we had never heard of but who had our last name. there was no other link.
In spite of us telling them over and over that they had the wrong number, they have never stopped. We have reported them to the local, state and federal authorities, submitted 53 complaints to the Do Not Call Registry (our number is on that list) and asked law enforcement to stop them. We have even tried to get a court order. all to no avail.
We keep on getting phone calls from NCO Financial Systems and they are calling people that have never worked here. Additionally, their trained staff do not listen to our recording at our phone number 415-267-1821. It is just an incoming voice mail system and they will never get through. We called a couple of times to take the number of the list. They continue so in conclusion we do not care and they will continue to waste their time.
I am getting call from 1 800- 408-3617. But i do not pick up the phone.
Is this a SCAM? To me it seems like a fraud.
Please comment.
OMG – This is no joke, I received three separate letters, three separate bills, for the same issue (a bill for an ‘automated’ enrollment for 1 on 1 Internet Services) all 3 letter came the same day from NCO !!! Each letter sent to me, dated the same day, states it is for the same issue but for different amount total alleged debt bill owed (which letter ya think they will pick from their mistake to convince me that I owe??).
NCO is a JOKE!!! Of course my lawyer will laugh and send the dispute letter to the joksters (NCO).
I am a 1&1 customer too. My account is also paid on an automatic basis. I too have been receiving calls from these b__tards. I smell a class action.
received 2 calls from them today the number they called from was 609-373-1906. No msg was left. they called 4 times on 8/5 never left msg that number was 240-210-7150
# 800-221-6850. I have received 2 calls from this number in the past 3 days. Like some of the others here I don’t have any debt. Both calls have been at 8:30am and they go to voice mail. The message says its from NCO Financial Systems, LLC and to contact Richard Taft Scott.
I just received a call from them the number was 240-210-7150 it went to my answering machine but no message they just hang up
800 350 2457 NCO number….this is totally fraud collection agency…they call me and tell me that i hv debf of one company and i never even heard about this company……government has to do something against this company…….Wake up US….
What a joke of a company! I received a letter stating I owed $2162.00. I recently stayed at our relative’s house in FL for 6 weeks vacation. The thing is, I am English and I live in London!!! Only 6 weeks, yet they got my name and address where I was staying and told me I owe this money. It did make me laugh, I must admit. They also couldn’t even spell my name correctly!! Don’t be intimidated by them. I will be happy to send them a really rude reply from England.
Nco calls me 3 to 6 times a day… From 866-576-1447. Trying to collect a debt from a different James Raney. But they try to make me pay. I’m not an idiot, they will not get a cent from me.
You lowlifes calling me vile names because I told you how stupid you are to give a child a cell phone are what’s wrong with parenting today!!! And you use the excuse you bought it for your child’s protection? Right, that’s a good one. Besides needing to get someone to teach you some manners and how to appropriately disagree with someone on a complaint forum like a mature grownup, maybe you should take parenting classes as well. To a young child, a cell phone is a toy, not a communication device used responsibly by someone mature enough to use it. Deal with it, you morons. You suck as parents. I’ll bet your spoiled brats get their own way with everything and you’re the idiots dragging your screaming brats through stores who scream and throw tantrums and even hit their mothers because they don’t get their own way, and you just ignore it. Do the world a favor – don’t reproduce anymore and stay off the grownup internet forums until you learn the words “respect” and “manners.” Adults don’t need to disagree with someone’s opinion by attacking them verbally and using abusive language and calling them all kinds of vile names. Go back to your brats and stay away from adult complaint forums.
hey lady chill out what makes you god you’re maybe a low life. Relax and take a chill pill or a Valium. How about Prozac your ass to sleep . Rant and rave elsewhere and stop calling people names you loud mouth wench.
You know what Barb’s problem is? She is a miserable person who has no life, so she sits on her high horse judging & gossiping about other people. You know, the kind of person that is a Debbie Downer & always negative all the time. She rants about respect & manner, & refers to her self as a mature adult, but yet, she knows NO manners, has NO respect for others & therefore NEVER will get any back, & wouldn’t know mature if it smacked her in her bitter face. She has alot of nerve though. I am a parent of 3 & my oldest with disabilities has her own cell phone for emergencies when she is away from home. That’s my child, my choice, my right, & I pay the bill. Telling people they suck as parents is going too far. I can only imagine the anger she brought up in the parent she is referring to because I already wish I could get 10 minutes face to face with her. She asked for every single reaction she got from her totally tasteless & tactless display. I feel sorry for her children if she is a Mom, & if she is then I use the term Mom loosely with her, because I can’t imagine her being a very good one at that. HEY BARB ! READ THE BIBLE- TAKE NOTE OF WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU. JUDGE & YOU SHALL BE JUDGED !! OH YEAH, & MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS- GO STICK YOUR NOSE WHERE IT BELONGS- UP YOUR OWN NOSEY ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are awesome. that was well put. A+
YOU ARE THE LOW LIFE !!!
What in the world are you so mad at? From the very first comment you posted it had been nothing but horrible! This forum was supposed to be about how bad this place is, not about a child having a cell ph or not. Clearly u dont have any kids. But if u do and YOU have chossen not to let them have a cell ph then fine. But who r u to judge other for that? They r not abusing their kids or anything. My ruke for my kids is once u r old enough to pay for one then fine i am all for it. Put thats just me. I would never sit there and call people names like youre in high school. Now that is immature. Thats the problem with a lot of people today. Being honest should never be mixed in with neing harsh and verbally abusive. So barb, put yourself in their shoes and tell me how u would feel if a complete stranger called u names… doesnt feel good does it.
hey, barb – rage much? you want to talk about respect and manners, yet here you are, showing people exactly how YOUR parents raised you. ….and as we can see, that was to have no respect or manners towards others, but to bitch and whine and have a bi-polar moment in order to make your point. see, barb, the thing is this: when you resort to name calling and degrading others, you completely lose whatever ground you gained by attempting to be an adult in a conversation. my 12 year old has had a cell phone ever since she was FIVE. she has never, ever lost one. she has never, ever broken one. she has never, ever gone over her minutes, used it excessively, called past her curfew – in short – she has never abused this gift that i, with MY EARNED MONEY FROM MY JOB, gave to her. when i was a police officer, i worked evenings and this was my way to talk to her when i was on duty. trust me, she had all the protection she needed from her momma. maybe, barb, you are just upset because you have issues with your own parents? maybe you can’t have children, therefore you hate them? then again, maybe you just missed med pass. chances are you are just looking for attention. you have proven that you are NOT an adult – since you call children BRATS and attack people on this forum with abusive language. i’m calling you on my cell phone, barb. “hello….pot? this is kettle calling”. now go take your meds.
Barbara, I’m not even the target of this email and from what I’ve read YOU’VE got serious emotional issues. Worry about the plank in thine own eye, it’s HUGE.
Well put everyone!!, this post is about this horrible company NCO… not about bad mouthing eachother, since we are all obviously going through the same things with these horrible people!!
I get calls daily from them at 800-408-3617. They are beyond shady. They’ve never sent me anything in writing, nor do they ever explain the origin of this alleged debt when they leave messages. I’ve sent them a cease and desist letter. I suggest anyone else dealing with them do the same.
I have received two calls in the past 24 hours from NCO at 800-448-9570. I have never received anything in the mail, and all of my accounts are either paid in full and closed (my car, etc.) or up-to-date. I refuse to give personal information over the phone, and have just filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
918 -878-2627 NCO SCAMmERS LEAVE US ALONEEEEE………………
800.656.1472; 800.874.8816; 800.962.9898; 800.408.3617; 877.202.0250; 800.711.0454; 800.656.2193; here are some more numbers! from Connecticut
NCO 866-425-8131. When they call me they won’t even talk. Just dead air every time. So irritating.
I have no debt, never have, and I have been receiving calls from NCO all this year. Numerous different phone numbers:
866-442-0536
609-373-1904
703-656-9956
Most have been when I am not home and I check my Caller ID. When I have answered the caller asks for a name I do not know and I tell them to take me off their list. I have called NCO in PA and they know nothing about these calls. My deduction therefore is that these calls are coming from a vendor of NCO and NCO has no clue what is going on because they do not check up on the companies they outsource to.
This morning I filed a complaint with my state Attorney General and not 10 minutes later on a SUNDAY I get ANOTHER call from NCO! I answered and they are looking for Amanda Wig whoever she is. I told them I had just reported NCO to my AG and don’t call again. So we’ll see what happens.
Just received call from 888-637-0271. I have received NUMEROUS calls from this outfit, using diferent numbers, over the past 2 years. The calls started when I got a new (recycled) cell phone number. I have no debt and I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize, but then I Google the number and it usually is from this outfit. I rather enjoy tapping the Ignore button on my cell phone.
I receive calls daily from NCO Financial. They come from 800-709-8625. It’s always a recording saying they are trying to collect a debt, but never says who it’s for. Usually I get told to call an Alex back, but today it was Mr. Jefferson. I am not sure what it is about and when I call them back, I can never get through to anyone. I received letters in the past via mail as well, but the letters never state what it is for either. It just states a reference #.
July 20, 2011
The telephone # appearing on the billing stationary of
NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC. is 1-800-709-8623
I’m so glad I save email messages!
It’s important to always watch out for one’s own interest.
Out of the blue, I received 3 individual notices today through
the United States Postal Service (First Class Mail) from
NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC. stating I owe money on an
account I CANCELED **in writing** on October 21, 2010.
I’m ready to defend myself!

877-462-9591..nco number
800-477-1827.
NCO or NCO Fincl Svcs called three times in the past few days from number 609-373-1904. They hang-up when it goes to Voicemail and don’t leave a message. Hate these kind of jerk calls.
Got a phone call from 800-448-9570 today from Chris. While he was somewhat professional, he should’ve been addressing me as Mr. (last name) instead of a first-name basis. Anyway, he’s calling to inform me that the University I attended back in 1999 has placed my account into collections effective 6 July, for outstanding unpaid tuition. I had both federal Pell grants & subsidized student loans when I attended school, all my tuition was paid in full. Even if it wasn’t, the statue of limitations only goes so far — this debt he referred to is 12+ years old!! I told him I’d do some research and call him back, the number he gave is 888-899-1591.
They called me in CT about a fake debt in CO. I asked when would this affect my credit score. He said never. I asked what happens if I don’t pay and he said I don’t know. I had to then tell him I had to call the place where my debt was and research his company. I am sure happy I did. New number (866) 637-0271
I DO owe a bill, But I am NOT paying them any more especially after reading all of these things about them and the phone call I just received. This…woman.. Thelma William, Nothing more than a company rep had the nerve to TELL me I have until 9′oclock tonight to Borrow money from someone in my family that actually loves me enough to loan it to me or else. That I wrote a bad check over state lines because they went to take money out and it was not in there (well that is because Noone returned my calls about the payment) and she would get me for that. WTF?!!! I will get this chick I dont know who she thinks she is but she aint gonna do sh** but lose another job.
Anyway here is one # I have 1-877-895-5703
877-533-6983
These wankers keep calling my home office number looking for someone who has never lived here. I have had this number for 27 years and there is no Conway here. These nefarious slugs need to do their homework before calling and interrupting my business day.
NCO Financial Systems number 1 866 849 2438
These folks have started calling my parents. I’m an adult and haven’t lived at my parents’ house for years. Now, I do have outstanding debts and financial problems, due largely to two years of unemployment, but I have retained an attorney and every one of my creditors is aware of who to contact with any financial questions (i.e. they know how to reach my lawyer). This company is just aching to get sued for violations of federal law.
Nco new#800 206 7177
I don’t have any debt, but NCO Financial Systems Inc. (or is it NCL?) left me at least 3 voicemail messages in the last month. I tried to phone them back, but I was on hold for many minutes. I want to have my number removed. The voicemail is from “Lynn Edwards” a woman, but when I call back, the recording is another name, a man. Their number is 866-637-0271. I am in Los Angeles, CA. My last name is very common, and different debt collectors call me occasionally. They never have the correct first name. My fico score is about 800, so no reason for debt collectors to call. I wish we could stop them.
They are calling my 9 year old’s cell phone on a DAILY basis. He tries to call it back while I am at work. I tried to call it back and they only put me on hold waiting for the ‘next available representative’. No one ever answers. I reported it to my carrier, AT&T, and their records show the company # as 000-000-0000. Isn’t that illegal?
My son’s phone number was already on the National Do Not Call list too. I reported it with the Pen. Att. Gen’s office as well per your website information. Here is the number they call us with: 1-800-688-3390.
And what the heck is a 9-year-old child doing with a freakin’ cell phone??!!! You really are stupid. Some people should never reproduce.
youre right Barb it’s completley moronic to protect youre child using whatever technology available.
you are really stupid. get with the times.
Barb….wtf does it matter if a 9 year old has a cell or not..that is not what this forum is about! And guess what? my 6 year old has a cell phone..because I gave him one…so get your head out of your ass…its none of your business and you really should have more manners than to call someone you don’t even know stupid. How would you like it if I said your parents were stupid to reproduce and create such an ignorant person like you?!
Well said Angela!!
Ha ha Barb, raise your own children, don’t worry about how other people do. NO ONE, including YOU likes to be told how to raise their kids. Anyhow back to the ACTUAL IMPORTANT SUBJECT, I get calls from the same number, I just ignore them. 800-688-3390 & 772-243-3390
Hmmm… giving your nine year old a cell phone or just being a monumentally evil douche bag about it, blowing it out of proportion?
Advice. If THIS is how you respond to something of such negligible magnitude, you’re demonstrating the merits of your own words. Some people truly should never reproduce. I hope to God you haven’t. What an unfortunate monster to be born to.
kids these days have cell phones. period. what are you, like 100 years old and just can’t comprehend developments in technology and child rearing? kids have them for emergencies and for parents to keep tabs on them. letting them run loose and “come home when the streetlights go on” just doesn’t happen anymore. especially if you live in Chicago, like i do.
also, saying someone should never reproduce simply because they gave their kid a cell phone is a pretty ignorant statement. so, for all you people reading this thread, consider the source :-P
Barb,
Have you ever thought about the fact that most cell phones have a chip in them so that if the child ever comes up missing they can be found IF they have the phone one them? You need to research things before you start bad mouthing the way people parent. You have no idea why these children have cell phones but I will tell you my daughter did give her oldest child a cell phone at the age of 12 just for the reason I stated. If someone was to grab her she could be traced. Don’t be so negative to other people when you don’t know the circumstances.
704-559-4979 calling cell phone for a person that has my name. Lying, cheating, theives! Block their number from all inbound calls.
They have been calling my house once a day, sometimes up to three times a day. Each time they leave a message saying that someone in the household owes money, but never say who exactly it is for, and gives a reference number… and so finally, today I called the number back that was on my caller id, which was 1-866-922-1984. And the guy on the other end was very rude. I said, I know my husband and I don’t have any outstanding bills and to stop calling. And if they continue to call, that I was going to get my lawyer and police involved. He hung up real quick. Watch out people, I honestly think they are con artists trying to get your personal information… be careful!
Got a letter from NCO Financial Systems (800-637-0271) demanding payment of $475.00 on behalf of LAS VEGAS JUSTICE COURT.
I did get a fix-it ticket back in February for having an expired car registration tab. Got absolutely no communication from the court since the ticket. All of a sudden this letter.
$475.00 for a fix-it ticket !!! This got to be a scam.
this company called MCO or NCO calls all the time almost everyday sometimes several times a day to our home phone number, a number that the telephone company recylced. Because our phone number was a recycled number, whoever had this number before had many financial problems and the collection agency or whoever they are keep calling because they don’t bother to follow up and find out if the phone number is still valid. This is happening more frequently because AT&T and many cell phone companies recycle the phone numbers and there is great confusion. Nevertheless, they are extremely aggressive and harassing, somehow getting a hold of relatives cell phone numbers through illegal practices and harassing your family and friends. That is not right
new number 1-800-233-1486 x3606, name of rep Leevan Adams. Called and left a message through friends – not even my phone number – using a distant relatives name as a reference. That distant distant relative by marriage has absolutely no contact with me – so that was the first clue to fraud. Second, they had to do alot of research to find me through a friend. I have no debt, so should not be receiving any phone calls.
Here is a new number to add to the list 877-517-1978. We have No outstanding debt and our number is unlisted. Will be filing a complaint with the PA Attorney General, PA Consumer Affairs Dept, PA BBB and also these same Depts in my state of CA. The more people that file with PA and then their own states, the more it will make every state aware. Each state will have to do their own investigation and the details will come out in the investigation.
We received a phone call earlier today that identified themselves as an investigator from a law enforcement agency. Saying that there was a complaint filed against us and for us to return their call asap to discuss this matter and left a number that was a 919 area code that came outta cherry hill, nc. The number came up as private name, private number. These type of calls are against the law impersonating law enforcement. My husband and I have more important things right now to take care of then to listen to someone misrepresenting themselves over the phone. Therefore any more calls that come in will be followed by the dates, times of the call and what was said will be issues in a cease and desis certified letter to your company. Any further communication from you or your subsidiaries will be recorded and an attorney will follow through on our behalf. You sir(s) and madam have been warned.
and yes we did a number search and it is NCO illegally practicing these types of fraudulant scams and scare tactics in trying to scare ppl into paying bills that are either old and no longer valid or these ppl simple dont have any money to pay their bills. I pray that one day the karma comes back around in full circle when they get calls from their own boss…see how it makes them feel.
Ya, they will get what they deserve! My hubby and I got scammed and are just finding out thanks to this web site. I would like to thank the person who made this site and all of ya’ll for posting your problems that you have experienced in the past. But they have just messed with the us military, so they will pay! >:-)
They have a new scam….if they are able to get info from an old file like your banking info…….they are forging checks and sending via internet to get money from your bank account………they sent two to my bank using my first name and my wife’s last name, and it still went thru, I’ve reported them to the Federal Trade Commision, The PA Attorney General, made sure the bank will no longer process the checks and paid 27.00 for each stop payment……these people are totally shaming people and completely illegal. watch your bank accounts and tell them NOTHING and hang up!
The number that NCO is calling me by is 916-285-5535. {I live in Massachusetts} They’ve called me 12 times since June 10th. They’ve called pretty much every day… sometimes even more than once a day. It’s getting SO annoying, especially because I don’t have any debt whatsoever. Besides… I’m only 15 years old!!! I don’t even have a credit card!!!!! Plus, they’re not the first debt collection agency that has called me. Before them, Mercantile Adjustment Bureau kept calling me, so I had my parents block their number, and they haven’t called since. I think that I’m going to have to do the same with NCO Financial Company.
PS: It’s my cell phone number that they’re calling, which I’ve only had for about 5 months.
PPS: I’m just guessing that the person who had my number before me probably had some debt issues… At least, that would make the most sense….
here’s another number that they use:
1-800-350-2457
they keep calling me even at 10pm..they are trying to collect a debt that I do not feel I owe, there was a transaction with a woman in norway, she purchased something from me, Pay pal gave her the moneye saying back after she recieved the product, now they want me to pay..I refuse. the number that calls is 800 688 7929 ..I get an automated message saying to call ed blanchard back.
The same thing happened to me with PayPal, but they got me for $2100. Now I too have several calls from Ed Blanchard from NCO. I also am refusing to pay, because I’m the one that got ripped off by PayPal. I’ve looked into suing PayPal in small claims court, but am learning that it is pretty impossible. Let me know if you find anything out. My situation has been going on for almost a year now.
Also being asked for collections from Ebay/Paypal…. I worked at an office where we dealt with a lot of online buyers, and apparently my jackass of an employer put my info on the Ebay account. I subscribe to a credit reporting service and have been watching my reports religiously since these calls started appearing, so far my score has not been impacted thank god. Just got a letter today and I think I will send them a cease and desist letter.
800-303-1043, here’s another number that they use
800-511-8670
Received a phone call yesterday from a company, “on behalf of the LA City Fire Department”, claiming that payment of ambulatory services were never received.
Representative: Dave Shafiroff
Phone: (866) 637-0270
Hours of Business: M (8-8)/T-Th (8-5)/F (8-4:30) – they say they are located in Ventura CA
They are requesting payment-in full or proof of payment.
He calls back. Now his name is “Roger”!!!
They keep calling a couple my wife and I were once close with many years ago. My wife and I divorced over 8 years ago and I haven’t spent time with that couple since. Don’t know why NCO Financial Systems keeps harassing them with phone calls. The number they are using is 1-877-213-3803. Sending a certified letter to them.
707-307-4222 out of Oakland, CA, registered to NCO. Called my 84 year old mother about “an important financial matter”. My sister took the call and tried to get some information from them. Refused to identify themselves or the specific reason for the call. When pressed, the caller just said goodbye and hung up.
FYI – CEO of NCO is Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, 2205 Plantation Lane, Plano, TX 75093.

These people have been calling my elderly father a few times a day. They refuse to speak with anyone else, and my father is almost deaf. He owes no one a thing…has always paid his bills on time. He has no idea what this could be about. The numbers they are calling from are: 410-202-0066, 603-589-7556, 205-561-2455. This is after the first few dozen calls from either 877 or 866 numbers.
Thanks for the C&D letter, btw. Very helpful. I have one going out today! :)
1-800-7110454 they call me from this number
Just sent a complaint to the attorney general here in Michigan about this company. Earlier this week they just started doing robo-calls for someone I don’t even know looking to collect a debt apparently. It’s been my past experience with companies like this to not waste your time with them and sick your attorney general on them. It’s the only thing I’ve found that really works to stop the calls.
800-709-8625 at 6:30 pm CST
Automated recording, call Mr. Jefferson
Keep receiving calls on my house phone and cell phone from 215-441-3000 NCO Financial but they do not leave any messages. They keep calling every half hour and it’s quite annoying! I have zero debt since I pay cash for everything! My numbers are on the National Do Not Call List but guess that doesn’t make a difference to them. I have no old outstanding debts and will be sending them a letter if they do not stop these annoying uneccessary phone calls.
They call me for bill 622 $ I dont have money to pay it I not woking
1-877-997-9495
866 663 8609
An automated message was left on my voice mail from NCO Financial Systems. The call back number for Randall Gunn (sic?) given was 866-278-1213. For the last year or so I have had a credit monitoring service and I also check my credit reports periodically, so I am pretty sure that I have no unpaid debts. I do not plan to respond unless I get further calls, at which time I will send a letter as suggested above.
Here’s a profile for Randal Gunn from a debt collection symposium. It’s surely old information, but he’s a real person:
Title: Great Debates
Onshore/NearShore and International Collections
About Randal Gunn:
Has responsibility for agency and portfolio performance of $20.0B of purchase assets with primary focus to agency and vendor management in the US, India, Canada, and with Arrow Global in the UK and Europe. He joined Arrow Financial Services in November of 2000 as Assistant Vice President/Director of Operation for the Gaithersburg MD call center leading organizational growth from 25 collectors to a staff of over 350 employees. He has served as AVP, Contingency Portfolio Management, where he was responsible operationally for all contingency portfolios across all call centers.
Randal is a past president of the Seaboard Collectors Association, a state chapter of the American Collectors Association. He is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University having earned his B.S. degree in 1981 and holds an Executive Certificate in International Management from the Gavin School of Management at Thunderbird.
When they call me from #866-425-8131 they won’t even talk or anything. It’s just dead air every single time. What is that all about?
NCO is on quite a SCAM kick lately, it even made Los Angeles area media news…i heard it on the radio, but i think it was a promo for the local news cast that night. they have called me at least 3 times this week. i’ve had zero debt for about 4 years.
i know they are a scam, i dealt with them 3 yrs ago when they sent me a collection letter for a debt i had already paid 2 yrs before. i mailed them back a letter saying that i wasn’t going to pay and provided my proof of debt reconcilation. i never heard from them again after that letter…not until now.
don’t bother calling them back or acknowledging them unless its to say “fuck off” and when you do it, add some conviction in there tell them they are scammers…they’ll get off the phone really quick.
i may call them up but instead of telling them to fuck off, im gonna play a prank Pre recorded type of Swartznegger message :) very funny.
I received a letter by mail telling me that i owed 345 dollars i was like are they fricken crazy we dont even have a credit card account or any of that stuff THEY JUST WANT TO STEAL YOUR IDENTIDY SO WHENEVER YOU GET ANY OF THIS IGNORE IT AND DONT EVEN TRY TO CALL BACK THEYLL JUST ACT DUM.
I am from Toronto Canada, and I am receiving calls from NCO Financial 1 877 404-2213 at my work place. It is an automated call and it states a ID number for reference, it also says to go on http://www.MCOfinancial.com. Not much information on Home page, but a big button that says ENTER. I am affraid to click on it, as it may be some sort of scam. I may have a small debt, but they never mention my name on the calls. I never return the calls. I work for the government and they do not take to easily to harrassing calls, so MCO bring it on.
888-475-6741
A short time ago, I received a phone message from an NCO Financial Systems with instructions to call an Alex Wurgus (I’m not sure if I spelled the last name correctly but it is close.) Anyway, because I’ve been receiving some extremely suspicious phone calls that I looked up and discovered are scams, I decided to check out the number 800-350-2457 and NCO. The automated call did not give a name and said to call back with an ID number but never left any info on the so-called ID number, who specifically the call was for, what any debt amount was, etc. Thank you for the info on this website which will come in handy if I get any more calls on my phone. Since the other scams I got, I have educated myself more about these predators, but it seems there is currently more that needs to be done to identify them, stop them, and hold them accountable. The police and government have only limited funds to investigate and stop them; this is why public exposure can be so effective. Those like myself who are victimized need to continue reporting their experiences with NCO, continue learning what they can do to protect themselves, and learn how these predators work. Thank you all for sharing and for this website, itself.
I got a call today where I heard a computer responding multiple times “please stay on the line.” and the volume was uncomfortably loud.
Then when they started talking they said that it was going to be recorded without telling me anything much but the name of the company, so I hung up, and went to my computer and found this site
All I have is one disputed bill if anything. For months I worked with my insurance agent to get a refund of premium paid to Mendakota Insurance that I did not need because I found out that there was double insurance on the car. I was put off and put off as they would be getting back to the agent but had not. I was told that I could not get cheaper insurance, and instead of giving me back my premiums, he said that they gave me a $300 off my costs adjustment and I was told that I could not get anything cheaper, that they could not recalculate and that I could not get it cheaper with any other company. I did not need SR 22 filing. Finally I refused to pay the bill and all of a sudden instead of around $1700 for 6 months, I was written up for under $150 premium for 6 months. So if they are working with companies like that, then the ruthless work with the ruthless.
888-269-0192
New number not listed above: 514-717-4395
CONSTANTLY leaving message about a debt that I DID owe. This debt WAS paid off via garnished income tax return. It was a government debt that was NOT bought out by NCO Financial, yet they claim that it was and that I now owe them $7000 as well.
These people are very rude and unprofessional. They gave me the run around about talking to the person I was supposed to talk to, they gave me attitude when I explained that I am a soldier and will be leaving the country for aprox 3 years for a tour in germany. They were not respectful at all and how they stay in business is beyond me. The number they called from was 1-877-542-1405.
My answering machine screens their calls. I never call them back. I wonder how long they will keep calling.
My wife and I continue to get calls from NCO as they are trying to collect a bad debt. Funny thing is, the bad debt is for my wife’s ex-husband and his new wife. My wife divorced him almost 25 years ago. We have given the callers the contact information for the ex and his wife but guess what, they continue to call us. In this case NCO is saying that they are collecting a debt for Capitol One. To make matters worse the calls are coming from a call center in India. I did verify this info with a CapOne customer service manager. Other than confirming the above info she wasn’t much help.
800 295 6724. The person who answered the call claimed to be looking for “Miguel Cordoba”. When informed they had a wrong number, I was told it could take 24 hours for the calls to stop, but that I would be taken off the call list. We’ll see.
888-637-0271 is the number that called me today. I called it back and it said it was a non-working number. INTERESTING. I have no outstanding collections or debt but I did a few years ago have them stalking me as well for a TMobile phone I have never owned, and they would cuss at me and tell me they were never going to take me off of their credit reporting. I wrote to Experian and they notified them that I had no debt to be collectd and that they were violating the Fair Credit Act and to basicaly leave me alone. If this number calls again I will do the same and you all should too to stop the pestering phone calls for NO REASON. They are absolute scam artists that recruit the NASTIEST human beings on the planet.
they are a bunch of cons
they tried sending me a collections listing things i never even bought but they also tried listing the exact same items under 3 different supposed origional creditor invoice numbers and only after the attorney general they sent a letter closing collections as a computer mistake
until the attorney general – absolutely no response to validate the debt and even the first letter from them violated fdcpa since it was a demand for pay in full with no option to dispute at all – first letter is not supposed to demand you pay in full or any pay but is supposed to only tell you there is a bill and give the ability to dispute
THEY ARE CONS AND THEY JUST MAKE UP BILLS ON LISTS THEY BUY FOR CERTAIN CREDIT SCORES – you can buy a complete list of people below a certain number for credit score and that is what they do and then invent bills hoping to catch the habitual stupid that does not pay attention to things and just pays all who calls with a threat
Hey Jamie,
Just for information purposes collectors are not prohibbitted from making a demand for the money in the first letter. They are required to contain a statement that you have the right to dispute and if they are going to report it to the credit bureaus they aree also required to include a statement that it may result in a negative report if not paid within 30 days. They are required to send that notice to your last known address within 5 days of their initial contact with you if their initial contact is done by phone. The Notice must also be sent by First Class Mail. One last comment, According to the Federal Wires Fraud Act it is against the law for the calling party of any telephone communication to use any obscene or abusive language. The law does not restrict the party receiving the call but just because the calling party gets abusive doesn’t mean you should lower yourself to their level. If you can record their calls great, you don’t have to tell them you are recording them unless you want to use the recording in court. Otherwise the recording can be used to create a Transcript of the conversation which you can use in court.
They were calling me too and I know I don’t have any debt. So I called them back and they asked what phone number they were calling, so I gave them my number. Then they stated that they were look for Jane (Last Name) and I just told them they didn’t live here, I didn’t know who they were so they said ok, I’ll take this number off the call list. 2 days later…calls stopped!!
They called from 800-747-6058, told me to return a call to Miss Collins. I call and am never allowed to be connected to her, whomever answers just states they can help me. I have no outstanding debt, they are a huge scam.
NCO keeps calling me on my personal, private number (which I never give out to any creditors). I think they may be looking for my brother-in-law because any collection calls I get on my private number are people looking for him.
The number they keep calling me from is: 866-315-2497.
I was called from 877-567-1544 and it was a Victor Gratta who was very threatening. they called me at work
My son had surgery in ’08 and apparently forgot about the balance of his debt, and when we recd. a letter from NCO Financial Systems, I gave him my Credit Card # to call and get it paid ASAP. Now, tax time is here, and I can’t put my hands on the credit card bill, so I tried calling NCO to ask them to verify when it was paid. The 800-785-1426 leaves you on hold for HOURS (litterly-I put it on speaker and just let it go) and the 248-785-1426 # is disconnected! SO, I called the hospital and they have no record of payment in 2010. SO…any suggestions of where my $454.82 went? This is crazy!
If you haven’t resolved this problem yet I recommend contacting the Attorney General in your state as well as the Attorney General in the State where NCO is located. Or contact an FDCPA Attorney that can file a Federal Lawsuit. Also get your bank to provide you with a copy of the bill where that charge appeared and make sure the hospital knows that NCO may be cheating them. NCO has had to pay out a lot of money in fines and attorneys fees and I suspect they have had to resort to alternative financing in order to stay in business.
They have JUST started calling me from 888-853-6950..I called back and it said it was Brandon Calloway
I was called from the number 866-853-4965. it was automated and said they were collecting a debt I owed but did not provide reference of what the debt was or to whom I owed the debt. As far as I know I have no outstanding debts so I did not call back.
They are calling me from 1-800-877-4127. As far as I know nor my husband or I have any owed debts. They always say to call Donna Johnson, but are never there or answer when I call back.
They have been calling from 800-350-2457…first a person then an automated message about collecting a debt. There is no mention of who they are trying to reach…just a reference number. Should I call and ask who the reference number is referring to? To my knowledge, I have no debt…so I have no idea if they are trying to reach me or someone in my family. What should I do? Should I ask a lawyer…they are calling a lot now and it is really beginning to bother me.
I just recently in January mailed them a check for payment and haven’t seen it cashed or received any response from them? What should I do.
Stop payment on the check.
800-295-6724 called left no message, called again today I called back and they said the company was “MCL”.
I need your help.
please block now the following list numbers:
NCO:
(1)800-711-0454.
(2)1-800-4017073
(3)1-800-295-6724
Thank you for your help.
Aphraem1
that’s funny i have been calling them with the same number 1.800.295.6724. they answer the phone, i asked for extention: 3382 to speak to a woman name Hodan. I spoke with her twice. I made the mistake of giving them my act#, recently they tried to pull 290.63 out of my act#, instead i ended up paying 10.00 fee for insufficent funds.
And that was yesterday april 6, 2011. They did the same thing in feb 3, 2011 and i ended up paying for insuffient funds. Those guys sounds like con’s to me.
they been trying to take money out of my act# without my knowing about it. without my permission. they won’t sent me a bill but they will try and take out of my act#.
what needs to be done. I’m not sure if they are legal or real.
