How do I find out who this company is? There are three different collection accounts on my credit report with agency names similar to this...any ideas?

At the bottom of your credit report there should be an address listed for them. Could you please get that information, report back, and post it?

I pulled my report again using a different service and the name now shows NCO FIN/99 and another with NCO FIN/22...no address on either one

Eww thats NCO Financial and they are nasty and dirty. They won't hesitate to call your house 20 times a day.

NCO Financial Systems, Inc.
507 Prudential Road
Horsham, PA 19044

Send them a DV letter requesting PROPER validation. Send it certified usps mail with return receipt. They usually go away after that.

I don't like dealing with them, either. By the way, DIEM...I liked the "EWW" (that was just TOO funny!). Yep..they DO call 20 times, per day. I have Medical debts with them....I mean. Debts from hospital visits,etc. I don't have Medical Insurance. I know a few of these debts are pretty old....NCO is trying to collect on them. Any advice? I DO owe them. I've tried to call NCO a few times....seems like the same "blah,blah,blah" from them.

They had a medical debt of mine at one time. I don't think they list on all 3 credit reporting agencies which is a good thing. NCO is notorious for buying junk debts and subsequently selling them. They is a chance they don't even own the account anymore.

Have you sent them a request for proper validation, via certified mail with return receipt? (USPS)

Chances are they will not validate, giving you grounds to get a removal. I would also include a limited cease and desist in that letter, prohibiting them from calling you any more. I do believe they are allowed to contact you one more time via phone until you speak with them, advising you of what they plan to do. You never want to discuss your debt with them or admit you owe it. You don't owe it unless they can produce the correct documents.

Well...NCO hasn't called me in a while....thank goodness. If they DON'T 'own' the loan, are they SUPPOSE to tell me who does?

I don't think they will tell you anything other than that the account is no longer with them.

Hi Brian,

Have you send the DV letter to them? They should reply within 7 days of receipt of the letter at their end. Did you order a return receipt?

Laura, where do you find that it's 7 days? I've always been under the assumption they had 30 days.

I apologize for the typing mistake there. It is not 7 days neither is it 30 days. There is no specific time period for them to respond to the DV letter. However usually the response comes, if at all, within a 30 days.

Right, the same goes for the letter they send debtors saying they have 30 days to dispute. If they can't validate within 30 days though, you can generally send an intent to sue letter and get the mark removed.

Yes I agree to that. Can you please help us with a sample of the intent to sue letter?
