Like any other collection agency, NCO Financial has been notorious for harassing people for collecting debt that has not been paid off. They record negative items on our credit reports and ruin our credit history in the process.
There are, however, some basic things that we can resort to prevent them from taking control of our lives.
1. Send NCO a letter to notify them to stop harassing you. Make it very clear to them that the creditor you owe the money to is the company you will deal with, not with any other third party who is trying to get involved in this process.
2. Hire an attorney if they still do not stop harassing you after getting the letter. The attorney, who has plenty of experience working in this field will let them know about the right course of action.
3. NCO might get off your back if you enter into some kind of agreement with them. Documentation is very important every step of the way. They should be made aware of the fact in writing that, they will not receive their first payment until they send you the negotiated terms in writing.
4. Keep in mind that if all fails, you can always file for bankruptcy. But that should be your last resort alternative. Do not try to rush to this decision. Weigh all your options, do whatever you can to come to an agreement with them.
We should not forget the fact that we have our rights to defend too as consumers. We most certainly have the right to dispute the bill, we also have the right to request NCO to stop calling us incessantly at any inconvenient time, additionally we have the right to send payment via mail and last but not the least we have the right to have another company assist us to deal with NCO.
Attorneys suggest various methods to remove the negative items from our credit reports. We can’t do anything in haste, it is a time consuming process but we certainly can enter into an agreement with NCO to work towards it.
1. If there is an item in the credit report that you don’t recognize, dispute it. There is no reason to take them for granted, it is very likely that it might have been put into your credit report by mistake.
2. NCO cannot expect you to pay off the debt without proving to you that you really owe them the money. Try the debt validation process, give NCO the chance to prove the validity of the debt they listed on your credit report.
3. You will have to pay NCO if they prove the validity of the debt. You should have a fairly good idea of what you can pay or what you can afford to pay within your means. Work out a payment plan with NCO; I am sure they will work with you too in this matter.
4. All NCO wants is for you to pay off the debt you owe them. Be patient with them, work out a payment plan that you can afford and get assurance from them that they will remove the negative record from your credit report.
It is up to us to make the right decisions, act wisely and do everything we can to pay off the debt. As long as we act responsibly and judiciously, we can hope NCO will come around and co-operate with customers in the future.
You are not alone if you are a victim of nco financial. You should beat nco financial at their own game, you really should.
