Had the same call.  Right surname wrong name, but initials were correct.  When I asked what was all this about, a girl said it's a small business matter, apologized, and hung up.

The number displayed was (780) 441-4000

they were really aggressive about a debt, i have filed bankruptcy because of a business failure and he started calling me names

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.

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.
