This is NCO Financial in Edmonton - note they do not even call themselves a collection agency!  Good advice above - do not speak to them, return their calls, etc.  Especially do NOT make payment arrangements - there is a statue of limitations in most provinces of two years, even although they may  TRY to collect after that period, or even try to get you to simply ADMIT to the debt. Never do any of the above, especially making a payment, for if you do,  that two year period starts all over again.  NEVER, ever send a debt collector of any sort a cheque, or provide banking information over the phone..If you are settling a debt, send a money order from the post office so they do not know where you bank!!!  Otherwise you may see your bank account drained!!!
Incidentally, a review of NCO Financial's Better Business Bureau Report as of today's date (Feb 8/11)
is RATED A BIG FAT......."F"....... the provincial government should not be allowed to license a collection agency with such a terrible tract record.  With a disgusting record like that they should not be allowed to call anyone to collect money  - talk about outrageous - this is the pot calling the kettle black LOL - really, check it out at "Southern Alberta Better Business Bureau, click on check out business, type in NCO Financial, Edmonton, Alberta, and you can read this for yourself.

search the number in 411.ca. the number belongs to NCO finacial

At 2:10 pm I received a call from this number. When asked to identify himself and his organization, he would only give his first name. He became quite aggressive, almost threatening, telling me I 'must' provide personal information. He refused to provide a reason for calling.It was only by using google, not 411, that I was able to identify this company.I've reported this to the local police and Phone Busters.

This phone number belongs to Pamela Hayes of NCO Financial in Edmonton.  NCO Financial is a collection agency.  They are not exactly the most reputable firm on the planet.  A Google search of NCO Financial will bring up more of their unethical and/or illegal garbage than I can possibly post here.

Pamela and NCO Financial also use the toll-free number 1 +1 877-237-2215.  Note that any time you dial a toll-free number, the company you called sees your phone number.  Even if you block your Caller ID.

The best way to contact NCO Financial is to call the main number (780) 441-4000) collect from a pay phone.  That way your real number does not appear on their phone bill and NCO Financial has the added hassle of paying for collect call.

Who called?

This number belongs to NCO Financial. They are a collection agency and not the most honest company on the block.When they call I tell them I have no outstanding business with NCO and that if they feel I owe money to please contact me in writing.  If they ask me for an address I tell them that if their concern is legitimate they already have my address.  :)It is more difficult for collectors to lie when they contact you in writing. This is exactly why I insist and why they don't like to.
