Hello, you seem to know alot about NCO, my mom had a credit card with Bank of America, with about $12,000 on it. she made payments always on time until they put her payments up over $400 a month, so she had to stop. Thats when FIA Cards services started in on her. Rude people calling non-stop. Now she has had a judgement put on her land, and the late fees have jumped her new total to over $30,000. She just got served papers that said she has 20 days to make the payment, or the land will be sold to pay the debt. Also, this is the best part, my mom, my 85 year old grandmother, and my dad who had a stroke last year and is paralized on one side, will all be thrown out and homeless. Over a credit card debt. Is this still america? I also called bank of America, and FIA to explain the situation, and they said our account was sold to NCO, and we have never even heard of them, or have their name on anything ever sent to our mom. does anyone have any advice, this seems to be happening all over. Didnt Bank of America get a huge Bail out. who is there to help us, this seems unreal. Gary Lane - gary21404@yahoo.com

Got a call at work indicating I owed $110 on a credit card from last month and if I paid by debit card over the phone they would waive late fee.  Called my wife because the account indicated should be closed with no balance as of July.  Wife confirmed account was closed and tried to call the 1-888-243-6262 I was given.  Got a message that the office was closed and I should make my payment on ezpayments.com.  TOTAL SCAM!!!

Call at work from FIA Card Services regarding your business account. Call
from Christopher Thomas. Please call this number, "I'm available from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00p.m."

This is the NCO group......it's always the NCO
group that call themselves FIA Card Services,
have stationary exactly like Bank of America's,
phone banks answering as FIA Card Services.
Have had as many as 131 Domain names, solely
to trick you into thinking you are talking to B of A.
Never ever pay them a cent and fight them in court
whenever possible.  They do not know what not
breaking the law is.  They can't do anything legally.
Ignore them if possible but never fear them, the law
is on your side.  Check the number on the internet to
see if it's legit.  Know that they will break the law, sue them.

I just got a call, responded and was asked my bank account number and routing number b/c I was overdrawn.  Checked my bank account and found that I was not.  I highly suspect this is a scam

I called them back and got through easily.  They said they were Bank of America Card Services and that I needed to pay my overdue account.  I asked which one, she told me, I said "ok thank you, I will hang up with you and pay it online through my online banking program."  She said thank you and hung up.

I guess I got lucky!  I had alerts set up to remind me to pay this card and for whatever reason, they stopped working.  I reset them and all is well.

Call was from "Barbara Newton" with "Card Services"; it was the "existing business relationship that you have with us" line.  The total lack of context offered, of course, set-off alarm bells in my head.

The number they left in the message was 888-243-6262, but the originating # recorded on my voicemail was 469-201-4312.  For whatever it's worth, according to my iPhone, that area code & exchange (467-201-xxxx) is for Dallas, TX.

All of the accounts I have for which there's any reason to be talking to someone have already contacted me separately.  I have no intention of returning the call.

I got a call from this number. It was a lady, she said her name was Marsha Carter from Clark Services and left this number for me to call back. I don't know any Clark Services that I do business with.

Someone called my grandmothers house asking to speak with me. They gave her this number for me to call them back on. I actually did call them back, I kept getting a messege that their office was closed(I called on a Saterday). I am definantly not calling them back again now. Thanks all for the warning.

Got a call at work from number 469-201-4312 & Caller ID said "Card Services". They asked for my boss by name, who is the business owner. I screen his calls, and always tell people like this that he's busy & will call them back. The callback number she left was 888-243-6262 & said that it was the Bank of America customer service number. I checked the BofA website & did NOT find this number listed for credit card-related customer service.
ALWAYS check for the company's publicly listed phone numbers! If the call is for a legitimate problem, they will be able to route you to the correct department.

I got a call from this number on my house line, asked for me by first and last name. Message was hard to understand...something about "card services" related to Disney. Called the number back and asked for my credit card number right off the bat! WOW! Hung up right away! BE CAREFUL!!!

I got a call today from this number and she sounded drunk... not calling back this person said something about buisness relations... psh... no way call her back... I wonder how they got my cell though... wierd..

Yes, this Steve called "Bank Card Services" and left a message regarding "an existing business relationship" on my home answering machine.  I too have an existing BOA account.  Thanks to this site, I also will not be calling Steve back.  I guess they'll have to solict me by mail.  Thanks everyone.

I just recieved the call today - something sounded fake. Said she was with Bank of America and needed to talk to me about an existing buisiness relationship - I do bank with BofA - but it sounded phony - my phone never even wrang - it just beeped that I had a new message ????
If it was Bank of America - tehy can call me back.
Aloha

Caller ID showed Unknown caller. Black lady left message on my recorder that said she was with FIA Card Services, that they were calling in regards to an existing business relationship I have with them and that I needed to call them at my earliest convience.....then Thank you and goodbye.

I'm not calling back!

"Steve" from "Bankcard Services"    asked me to call 888-243-6262 regarding an 'existing business relationship'
I don't have an existing relationship with a company called "Bankcard Services"....although it's probably another credit card company calling themselves that.

Sorry Steve, if you would mention the bank's name holding the credit card, I might have an idea what you're referring to.  But since you didn't, I won't be calling you back.  I hope you understand.

received a voice mail at work from fia card services.  They said please return call to 8882436262.  Thanks for the information on this site.

said they were 'FIA card services'.  Seem to be loosely associated to b of america, although it cannot be very closely - I'm currently a victim of ID theft and this # called me, 'in reference to one of my accounts', and asked for my last 4 digits of my soc# - if they were actually on the bank of america computers there's no way they'd have called expecting I'm going to give soc#'s to a "no caller ID" line (the 888# is the one they left on my voicemail).

*also* note that the call operators here are rude, not that that isn't expected, but further that they will NOT let you get to a supervisor, go ahead and try to prove that wrong, if you can get a supervisor on the line I owe you lunch :).  I even called back to ask for a supervisor, got another receptionist who gave me a *different* reason (a meeting this time..) why a supervisor couldn't be accessed!!

Got a call from them, said they were "Card Services" and claimed they handled a "plethora of accounts". BS. Asked for my name and account number straight off the bat.

GOT A CALL ON MY CELL , SAID MY WIFE HAD PUT THIS # DOWN ? I DON'T THINK SO. WANTS HER TO CALL THIS #  ABOUT CARD SERVICES ?  DID NOT SOUND RIGHT !!

hang up
