NCO Financial Sytems Inc Attempted to collect payments for an account I have never had and demand reasons as t0 why I won't send them money or give them any of my financial information. fraudulent ripoff business Philaelphia Pennsylvania
This company sent me a notice stating that I had not responded to their previous letters to pay for some services that I was said to have had with AT&T with a past due balance of $735.28. I have never used these services and wil not pay for any services nt rendered to me. I received this notice not even 45 days after moving into my new home. I have attempted to call and have yet to reach an individual who can assist me with this obvious mixup or fraudulent attempt to rip m off.

Previous occupants may be responsible

You mentioned you moved into a new home. I am not sure if you meant you purchased a home, or live in an apartment, but either way, the previous occupants may be responsible for this bill.
A similar situation happened to a good friend of mine when he purchased his home. The previous owners of the house skipped out on a phone bill of well over $200 dollars. My friend started receiving letters and phone calls from the phone company, trying to collect this debt. Even though he had only lived in the house two months, had a different phone number than the previous owners, AND his name was obviously not the same that was on the original bill, they still tried to stick him with it, because he now occupied the address that was on the bill. He was finally able to resolve it after several months, but it was a ridiculous waste of time.
Have you tried calling AT&T directly? They might be able to shed some light on the situation (though I wouldn't hold my breath...being a huge corporation, there's a lot of bureaucratic b.s in that company). Either way, keep fighting (I'd consider litigation if they won't resolve it). $735 is a lot of money to pay, if you're not the responsible party.
I hope you get resolution.
