Diana, All you need to do is send a CEASE COMMUNICATIONS request as per your rights under Federal Law, specifically the FDCPA. Send this letter by certified mail, return reciept requested. Put the certified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records. FYI..You should never answer any call from a collector, and never speak to any collector on the phone. It will NEVER get you anywhere good. Contact info for NCO: Agency Details: NCO Financial Systems, Inc. **** ( Also goes by the name of NCO Portfolio Management) 507 Prudential Rd Horsham, PA 19044-2308 Phone: (215) 441-3000 Fax: (215) 441-3923 Web Address: www.ncogroup.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 150 Crosspoint Pkwy CrossPoint Business Park Getzville, NY 14068-1602 Phone: (716) 404-2100 Fax: (716) 404-2120 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hope this helps.

And you are trying to tell me they can't tell me anything. They should just keep calling and hanging up on me? That truly makes no sense at all.

I am not sure why a collection agency would hang up on someone who seems willing to at least start a conversation about something. NCO is the largest collection agency in the world. They have approximately 100 sites around the world. I know that in my agency, we only have access to certain files, not the entire network. So it can be very frustrating for us and the caller, if we can not look up the info becuase the file is not in our office. And your location indicates you are in Maine. That is not one of the states where you can not discuss a debt with a spouse. Outside of Alabama, Iowa, and Massachusetts a debt collector can discuss a debt with your spouse without your permission.
