I was called from that number but not sure if it's a real collection agency...I'm not sure if I should give them my cc info.

Yes, they are a collection agency, but do NOT give them your CC or banking information! They will empty it, leaving you with NO recourse!

ONE OF AMERICA'S WORST

COLLECTION AGENCIES!

While NCO Financial has earned what seems to be a permanent slot in our exclusive list of America's Worst Collection Agencies, it's really difficult to classify them when held up to others in the industry.

On one hand, NCO aggressively peruses and takes over other collectors in a bid to be the world's largest.

Meanwhile, corporate collection policy seems to sway daily, depending upon the wind.  One call might bring threats to our active duty military personnel and their families, on a level reserved for terrorists.  The next call will be gentlemanly, helpful and not-at-all like the NCO of old.  You never know which one you'll get.

On some occasions, NCO takes the debtor into court, scratching and fighting for pennies and spending thousands to get it.  On others, they fold like a paper tiger at the hint of consumer counter activity.  

Perhaps the giant is learning from the mistakes of the past.  Perhaps the sting of some many fines and penalties caused stockholders to crack the whip.  We do know that two years ago, our email box and phone were overflowing with NCO complaints.  At that time, every other complaint was about NCO.  Now they just trickle in.

What's lacking in this big agency is a resolution department.  If they had a team of 3 people to handle consumer complaints, put out public relations fires and resolve problems - someone with the authority to make decisions - they'd not only disappear from our list of America's worst, they'd do themselves much good.

CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card.

called for my wife on account and phone number that was never atached to any accountsasking her if she divorce me

I had someone from this 888.899.5861 number call me today & left a message wanting speak with me.  He was very vague as to what he wanted, leaving me his extension number with a reference id.  I called the number and I asked to patched through to the extension I was given but the person said he could not from that number.  He asked for my reference number which I gave him and he then said he had another number for me.  I told him I would not pursue this any further.  He got smart with me & hung up.

Left message this is Name please call me at 888-899-5861. did not say why or what it was about therefore no call back on my part. I don't return unsolicited phone calls from people who supply no information.

Yes, I got a call @ my work from a very rude - Mr. Brown. Talking so fast I could not hardly understand him left on my voicemail. Yes, he said he was from NCO Collection and told me in Buffalo,NY. After I kept asking him where he was located. This was in regards to a realtives account. I told him it was against the law to call me at work. He said it was not. Uh, yes it is if you have been told and guess what fool I JUST TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME AT WORK. AND IT IS NOT EVEN MY DEBIT.......

It is a collection agency by the name of NCO.  They also called me at work.  Remember to tell any collection agency that to be calling you at work is an FCC Violation.  They must mark your records and never to attempt to call you at work in the future.

Yep.  This totally rude man called and left a vague message on my answering machine.  He spoke very quickly and mumbled every other word.  Not sure if the message was for me or someone in my family.  My policy is to not return these types of calls.

I am in the VA hospital, and I do not have any funds. The funds that I have are controlled by the VA system
