Hey all.
I'm sorry to hear of most of all your terrible experiences with NCO. Mine was not that bad.
It started out when I had sold a virtual item on Paypal and deposited the funds I received into my bank. This was a legitimate transaction. A week later the purchaser decided to reverse the transaction and suddenly I owed Paypal $350. I then closed the bank account so Paypal could not withdraw the money for the goods that I had delivered. As a result I was negative $350.
After getting absolutely NOWHERE with Paypal for a few months, I started receiving e-mails from NCO and the occasional phone call.
They all stopped when I typed up a letter that demanded that they provide proof that I was the owner of the debt. Proof that the debt was valid. And return it to me via certified mail, or else I would consider the debt null and void. I sent this via certified mail, and verified it was received.
That was it. Not a single reply or a mail reply.
Six years later my credit score has not been tarnished.
Don't ever use Paypal.
