NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS INC RUINED MY CHRISTMAS!!!HORSHAM Pennsylvania
I received a letter from NCO on Christmas Eve stating that I owed $6358.88 with interst of $9972.85 a grand total of $16,331.73 to Chase/Assignee of Provi. The letter was address with a former last name that I have not used in the last 7 years but with my current address. I did file bankrupsy in 1992. I check all 3 credit bureau reports and they are not on any of them.
I don't understand how such a thing can be mailed out. I already had enough stress for the Holidays since my husband just passed away. Something needs to be done to stop these people

To answer your why/how can they do this to you question, because they can is probably the best answer.
Yep, their method is simple: they buy stale, outdated, invalid debts for cheap & write up demand letters (complete with incorrect info), lick a stamp and mail 'em out in hopes of scaring you into paying them $omething. It's as simple as that.
If you read some of the other posts here you'll hopefully realize that you really don't need to worry about them. They're just trying to scare you into sending them money.
And then start filing complaints with the FTC & other agencys. ftc.gov
Maybe if there are enough complaints we can put these folks out of biz like we did with another wonderful collection agency who specialized in scare tactics: Camco. Yep, took awhile but we did it.
