NCO Financial Collection Agency NCO Financial Collection Agency Pennsylvania Has wrong number and wont stop calling me Horsham, Pennsylvania
I live in Springfield, MO. I am on disability and am low income so I qualify for a government program called "Life Line" that provides me with a free activated cell phone and a set number of minutes each month. I just got this new phone and phone number about a month ago and almost as soon as I got it I began receiving calls from NCO collection agency in Horsham, PA. asking for a Malorie Smith. I told them that there was nobody here by that name. Then about 2 hours later the same thing. Now it's every 2 hours six days a week. I've explained to them that I am NOT Malorie Smith, that I do NOT know who this person is, that this is a NEW number for me and please quit calling me. I could just change the number I guess but this is rediculous!

I worked for 9 years almost with people 'dead set' on sueing people they say they are owed money to. The first two people wanted to sue about medical bills, and the rest wanting to sue collection agencies in general, Ive heard every complaint.
I have tryed to explain every time that we will have a hard time winning it they have proof you owe this, and if you "refuse to show proof you paid it" youre dead in the water.
Unfortunatly I have tryed to tell the people I am helping that the collection agency has a legal right to collect the debt. Unless you have proof they did something illegal like swore at you, or called you at 2 in the morning you have problems.
Also dont pull the "he swore at me and my wife erased the taped proof" judges have been hearing that forever. Just a word of what you are up against

How to stop collection agency harassment for a debt that is not yours:
Youre going to have to find out the name and address of the collection agencies(s) that are calling you. Send the collection agency a letter via Certified Mail + Return Receipt (do NOT use regular mail) stating:
Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, cease all communications with me about this alleged debt. This is not my debt. Receipt of this letter is officially being time stamped via Certified Mail. I will pursue each subsequent phone call from your office with a $1,000 per incident penalty for Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations
-----------------------------
If they keep calling...next time they call, read the following statement:
Pursuant to state law, be advised that this phone call is being recorded. If you do not consent to being recorded, you need to terminate this call. Continuation of this phone call after officially being informed that it is being recorded implies consent to be recorded. This recording will be used to pursue Fair Debt Collection Law violations.
