Like many others here I also received a bogus claim from NCO. I challanged their claim by sending a certified letter within the 30 period they state in their letter and they failed to respond back in the 30 days allowed by law. So they have lost all right to that claim because they failed to validate it. Here is a copy of the letter I sent them, Some of culled right from this site. Worked like a charm but you must do it within the time specified or there claim becomes valid in the eyes of the law.

To whom it may concern;
Yes, your office will have to validate this bill for me.
In accordance with Section 809-Validating Debts of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I respectfully request that you provide to me, in writing, the following:
1. Explain and show me how you calculate what you say I owe. Provide a written itemization of ALL charges including a full account history and proof of every charge.
2. Provide me with copies of any and all signed contracts that show that I agreed to pay you what you say I owe. To the best of my knowledge I have no accounts of any kind with your company.
I have disputed this debt, therefore, until validated; you know your information concerning this debt is inaccurate. Thus, if you have already reported this debt to any credit reporting agency, then you must immediately inform them that this debt is in dispute. Reporting information that you know is inaccurate or failing to report it as disputed violates the FCRA e1681s-2. If you do not own the rights to this debt, please send a copy of this dispute letter to the original creditor, so that they will have documentation and that they will be aware that this remains in dispute. I do NOT deal with collection agencies or debt buyers, so if there is an issue, it will be resolved with the original creditor. If you are unable to validate this debt, any information you have sent to any credit reporting agency must be removed within 30 days from today and all collection efforts on the part of your company must be terminated, or I will sue for damages under the FCRA.
Finally, in accordance with section 805 (c )Ceasing Collections, of the FDCA, please do not contact me regarding this, except by official mail and then only to inform me that your collection efforts are being terminated or that you are taking specific actions allowed by law.
Your cooperation is anticipated and appreciated.
Then when their time expired I sent out one more certified letter to them as follows.

To whom it may concern;
On September 22, 2006 your office received a request from me via certified mail, to validate a debt you said I owed. The law requires that your office respond to these request within 30 days, which your office has failed to do.
Therefore I am writing to you today to tell you that your claim was bogus, just as I had expected. Your failure to validate this claim has put an end to any rights you had under the law regarding this supposed debt.
You will now cease and desist all contact with me. If your company placed any derogatory remarks on my credit history you must remove them now or face a possible action under the law.
Hope this may help others with the problems with this scumbag corporation.

Donald, It doesn't work that way re 30 day validation
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)

Donald,
That 30 day validation period means absolutely nothing. They could legally sue you tomorrow or next month or next year. The validation request simply stops further collection activity until verification is provided. Period. They have lost no rights to anything.
If you are going to quote laws to a multi billion dollar company with dozens of lawyers, you should at least quote the proper law or they will not take you serious.
You send them a CEASE COMMUNICATIONS request as per your rights under the FDCPA. If at the time they recieve this, they feel their claim is valid, they will immediately file a lawsuit.
You have to play very dirty with NCO. They know all of the tricks.
NCO Financial / NCO Group / NCO portfolio management are JUNK DEBT BUYERS. They buy these debts for pennies or less on the dollar. The way you beat them is in the validation and chain of title.
Proving they have legal right to the debt.

The creditor moves to another collection agency
AUTHOR: Patrick - (U.S.A.)

After you send your validation request and get no response, you will find in a couple of months that you hear from another collection agency, then you have to re-do your validation request. Hopefully, you did the first one on your computer and saved it. If so, all you have to do is pull it up, change the date and the addressee (and maybe the account number) and fire it off. Non illegitimi carborundum sint!

Good for you

It makes me smile that people are not so quick to accept this kind of scam as legit, simply because it appears to come from a "collections agency".
I too recieved such a letter from NCO Financial, stating I was being billed for $95.40 for services that I had never purchased/authorized, but not only that, they delievered the notice to a residence that I have not lived at for **2** years.
I tried to call their number, but could never get thru (even during normal business hours) as the recording kept saying "mailbox full", so obviously they are not too prompt in answering their messages, either.
Glad to know I was not the only one and in the morning, plan to contact my Senator as well as the PA Attorney General regarding the scam.
