Someone just called from this company for my hubby. No number came up on the ID, but the number they left was 888-871-6484. They claim they sent him a letter Dec 22nd however I keep all my mail in a shoebox (very professional! Laughing

)and went through the box three times...we never received a letter. I asked her to resend something, she stated that they only send out one notice and are not required to send another letter. So, I asked for their mailing address so I could send in my own DV letter, she refused. She did however give me their mailing address for payments:
PO Box 15740
Wilmington, DE 19850

She stated that this address is for payments, only and is not connecting with the department who would handle the DV letter. If i was to use this address for a DV letter then my DV letter wouldn't be valid.

Advice? Should i send the DV to that PO Box? Is she correct when she said that the DV would be considered not valid?

NCO is among the slimier collection agencies out there. It's not the worst, but they're pretty shady.

From a legal standpoint, I don't think there would be any difference as to what "department" at NCO you sent your DV to. If it's delivered to the organization, it's up to them to have the right people handle it -- IOW, after they get it, taking care of the legalities becomes their responsibility. Just be sure to send it CMRRR. If worst comes to worst and you end up in court (highly unlikely, but theoretically possible), you can tell the judge that you wanted to send the DV to the "correct" address but that they wouldn't give it to you, so you used the only address you had.

Texas, what do those links mean?

Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 5:35 pm Subject:

Thanks all, and thanks Texas for the links! never thought to look up their cooperate filings in that state!

Sara, in regards to those links- I believe this is what it means could be wrong)...When a company is formed they must register in the state that they are doing business with.

NCO was the company who Chase (Bank One) sent my account to when I owed them some money. They would only take two payments, end of the month. THey would not allow me to make more than two payments to them.

I would not trust them. I would request additional information from them and contact the company who they turned the account over to them to find information about them. Be careful with companies such as these. They claim that they have sent you correspondence but in actuality, they may have not. Request a copy of the letter that was sent to you.

Thanks for telling me! I saw the SC link and it looks like they are active there but withdrawn on the others?

Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:40 pm Subject:

the hint is, the state they incorporated in,? their status as a corporation has been *withdrawn*..... Wink

So the filings they have in other states, listing State of PA as their state of incorporation is um, questionable.

The links are provided for your information, you may want to check into their status on your own. I'm just the guy that shovels the dirt aside to get 'em Wink

I just got a call from these goofballs today. I have no idea what they're trying to collect, but I'm not calling them back and dealing with them on the phone. I pulled my report and didn't see anything on it. Any suggestions?
