If you want them to stop calling, do as quite a few people on here have figured out. Tell them to hold on for a second. Then come back to the phone and tell them that you are now recording the call. For some reason they get really upset, and it's funny as hell. They are trying to collect a debt from me from a Victoria's Secret account. I advised them that I'm a 6'4" 265lb man, and that I don't enjoy Victorias Secret anymore. I told them that I've moved on to the Plus Size lingerie. At this point, the woman hung up. My wife was almost in tears as she listened to me!!!

Something I enjoy doing to other solicitors, etc, and I urge you to try this, is to just tell them to hold on while you get your wallet. Just leave the phone laying there for as long as it takes. Go on with what you were doing, and after a while, they will just hang up. They get penalized for being on the phone for long periods of time without closing on a deal. If they hang up and call back, just tell them to hold on again, and do the same thing! Eventually, their supervisor will tell them to stop calling that number.

I am receiving these calls for someone who does not live at this number.  Please stop calling here.

Have a debt with a company for less than $70.00 on an account that i actually closed almost a year ago but, had recieved a letter from NCO and knew that I needed to call their client to show them the cancellation confirmation that i recieved from them.

Saw the call come in from NCO.  I figured pick up the phone and have a good time.  After the caller stated that it was an attempt to collect a debt and that the call would be recorded.  I informed her that i would be recording the call myself for quality assurance.  She went balistic! it was awsome!  I'm thinking that i may wait a while before i staighten this out.  Just so i can do it again.

This number called my phone and some guy left a message - can't understand a word that he said!!!!  The message is all garbled and I can't understand what he is saying because he is talking so fast!

Answered and they hung up

You have the wrong number

Just hung up

I received a call from this number.  no message left.
I do not have any out standing depts.
I do no know why they would be calling m.

It is probably no less legal than not paying you bills.

HOW IS IT LEGAL FOR CREDIT CARD COMPANIES AND OTHER LENDERS TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO SCAVENGER DEBT COLLECTORS? AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE SCAVENGERS CAN ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION TO BEGIN THE COLLECTION PROCESS FOR JUST PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR.  ISN'T THE RISK BUILT IN TO THE HIGH RATES YOU PAY FOR CREDIT CARDS, AND HOW IS IT ETHICAL OR JUSTIFIABLE FOR THE SCAVENGER WHO HAS PAID $00.01 ON THE DOLLAR TO COLLECT THE FULL AMOUNT ISSUED BY THE PRIMARY CREDITOR AND KEEP IT ALL? THE PRIMARY CREDITOR FOR EXAMPLE, LITERALLY SOLD THE WRITTEN OFF DEBT FOR $100.00, THE SCAVENGE COLLECTS $5000.00, PLUS FEES AND INTEREST.  THEY CAN TAKE YOU TO COURT, CALL YOUR EMPLOYER, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO EMBARRASS YOU. THEY CAN GARNISH YOUR WAGES AND PLACE LIENS ON YOUR PROPERTY.  THAT'S IS THE SAME AS IF I FIND YOUR WALLET, PICK IT UP USING 1% OF MY ENERGY TO DO IT, AND CLAIM IT IS MINE BECAUSE I HAVE A 1% INTEREST FOR PICKING IT UP.  WHO WRITES AND APPROVES THESE FINANCIAL LAWS? I WANT THEIR NAMES, AND JUST WHO IT IS THEY CLAIM TO REPRESENT!

I keep on receiving phone calls from this NCO. I don't know why they keep on calling my home. I talk to a gentleman, named Rhed. He was very nice accommodating. He was able to explain everyting. The call stop. Now they keep on calling me again. I called the phone number that Mr. Rhed had goven me, 800-550-9619 with extension 74472. King answered, I really don't like him,. I want to talk to Rhed, but King said they terminated Rhed. He was very nice, unlike this company...your fool NCO!!!

I have received 2 calls from this number. The woman's name is Brenda Fogle. No one ever answers when I call back.

I HAVE SET UP A PLAN TO DEAL WITH MY ACCOUNT AND STILL I GET MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS FROM THIS # 215-442-8300. THEY CALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THEN THE SAME COMPANY CALLS MY HOME NUMBER BUT THEY USE A DIFFERENT #. I NEVER GET THE SAME PERSON AND HALF THE TIME THEY DONT ANSWER. I JUST WANT THEM TO STOP CALLING ME THREE TIMES A DAY EVERYDAY!

These guys are real JERKS! They just called my number, pretending that they were close friends of mine/my husband's. I think I know who our friends are. The guy on the phone kept saying, "This is Chris." He kept asking to speak to my husband but when I asked him, "Chris who? ... from where?.." he just kept repeating, "It's Chris." When I made him aware that we don't know anyone with that name, and to please state his business, he refused to say. HOW STUPID IS THAT? If this is a legitimate bill-collector, why don't they just say so, and explain what they think you owe, so that they can get their bill paid, instead of playing games? WHAT A BUNCH OF UNPROFESSIONAL IDIOTS! I suspect that they may be doing something illegal.

this heifer named "debra" keeps calling my job and said "if you're working why can't u pay?" i told her that was none of her business and she said just pay your bill and i quikcly disconnected the ignorant caller as I AM AT WORK AND I INITIALLY CALLED THEM ABOUT SETTLING THE $89.50 DEBT!!!!! at this point it's the principal and i will not be bullied into anything!!!! they get the rudest most ignorant people they can find and give them jobs at NCO!!!

I got a call from this number today and didn't answer. I recieved a voice mail, but all that was recorded was a constant beeping sound about every second. I deleted the message and tried to call the number. I got a phone tree aksing me to enter the extension, or the persons last name. Of course there was no message, so I couldn't. I hung up and about a minute later got a call again. I hung up on the second call and was called, a third time. Each time I get the call its the same beeping sound on the phnone. So far I don't even know what to do in order to get the calls to stop.

I keep on getting a call from this number but no messages.  How can I stop them from calling??

I got a call from "Kramer" for someone I don't know. I called the number and got his voice mail. I explained I did not know the person and that this had been my phone number for 10 years. I asked him to contact me back with the database that he was using so I could contact them and let them know their info was wrong. He called back and left another message for the person I don't know. I called a 2nd time and got him on the phone. He argued with me that the message I left was that I was the person he was looking for. I demanded to know what database he was using. He argued with me about my message. I think he was on dope. I demanded his supervisor and was told they use Accurint for their info.

This guy named Scott Snyder calls demanding, not requesting DEMANDING, my ex-roommates new number.  I told him that I didn't want to give her number out (and I am a really nice person ESPECIALLY on the phone) and he started getting rude and irritated by my unwillingness to give up her personal information.  He told me that she knew him and I told him that I knew her since the 2nd grade and I don't know who he is.  I told him that I would give his name and number and that she will call him back.  He reluctantly gave up his contact information and he kept demanding her new number.  What a loser.  After letting her know, I looked the call id up and did a little research and found out that this company, N C O Group Inc, has harassed others as well and that this is not a unique case.  So I called him back and asked him what company he worked for and he asked me if I was my roommate, I said yes and he said it was N C O.  Then he asked if I was me and not her and I said yes and I just gave him a peice of my mind.  He said he had been with the company for 10+ years and I told him that I hope he didn't move up the company by treating people like that.  He apologized, but he knew what he was doing.  Well, I hope he gets paid well, so at least he can help himself sleep better at night.  Karma comes back 10 fold man...

Caller ID: 215-442-8300  N C O Group Inc
- "Only" 4 calls so far, on 1/23/08, 5.50PM, 2/25 at 1:58 PM, 3/11 at 1:54 PM and  2/25 1.58p(none), and 3/17 1:41 PM to 1:53 PM, and told they're calling from Tenn.
  I've been asked for my nephew who hasn't lived here since his college days 30 years ago, but they already knew I was just a relative.
  "Levere" at first thought this was in Colorado (I'm in upstate N.Y.) and wanted me to somehow have my nephew call 1-866-662-5601, N C O Group Inc. I told them "Do Not Call me".  After several other calls, Mr.Lindsey INSISTED (2 months later) that my nephew had left him a message to call here only a week ago; he said it was a Federal matter, but swore it was NOT a debt collection - apparently lying through his teeth on both matters.  Again I officially told them "Do Not Call!!"
- As is perfectly legal here (laws differ in different places) I have them on tape.

We have received four calls from NCO looking for someone named Robert.  All calls are either early morning or late night.  We get no name from the caller or company name but after four calls telling them each time that there is no Robert at this number I think it's time to file a complaint! I called the number back but only got an answering machine telling me to enter an extention number and no other information.  I did a reverse search for the phone number and found that the actual company is a collection company looking for someone named Robert.  You know, one phone call or even two is within reason, but four calls to the same number with the same result is ridiculous and now crowding the line towards harrassment.  It's not our account, bill, or business.

I got a call from this guy Harry claiming he's calling on behalf of the federal government for student loans.  These are scumbags who are debt collectors.  What's the procedure to block their solicitation.

NCO Financial (Debt collections

This company keeps calling employees at their place of work.  That is illegal.   Fill out an online complaint form with the FTC.  I think they get fined per incident, so keep good records.

that is my MIL's name...thats scary

Their main number which allows you to look up employees by name is 215-441-3000
John Fellows is their CEO (of NCO) though they are part of JP Morgan Chase
