800-685-4343

Received two messages on phone.do not owe anyone,,,so there is to assume
this company has their wires crossed or  my  ex...... is in trouble  again and has referenced my name .

I told them that I was recording the call for "quality assurance" and they HUNG UP.

Harrassed by NCO over a debt that is not legitimate.  Each time I call them they insist I give them my phone number, which I refuse to do because it is unlisted, I offer to give them their reference number and they say without my home phone number they cannot deal with my call.

tell them you are reocrding the call they will hang up on you.

I started to receive a call a day from them. I never answer and usually I'm not home. They leave a RECORDED message that they are NCO and by law they must inform me that they are a debt collection agency! I know for a FACT that I do not owe anyone anything. And if I did, wouldn't I receive a statement or something in the mail to try to collect it??

We have received countless calls from this number. After reading this blog an realising this company is bothering other people I decided to follow the advice and call them back. I got the message from the lady at the other end that'This call is being recorded for quality assurance purposes'. I then asked if she wouls hold while I set my recorder going so I could also record the conversation.
The reply was ' I will not hold anything while you record! Have a great day and goodbye'. So hopefully thats the end of that one!

Here we go again with this bogus collection. When wil you get the message I never had a debt in my life time if Ican't pay in cash I don't get it. So stop calling me

thay are nasty scumbags, crimminals!!
someone should do something about them!!!

Another recorded call from "Nick Lucas" at 800-685-4343. No other identification - business id or reason for call.  Had several of these calls in the last few months, but fortunately my home phone is only there to hook up my computer so the ringer is rarely on.

I don't know any "Nick Lucas" and though I do have some outstanding debts, all of those notifications were sent by mail.  glad to see this is yet another bogus company trying to take advantage of these financial hard times.

I get calls from this outfit at least3 or 4 times a week. Sometimes I am to call a Noelle Lucas back or Nicole Lucas the voice is the same so I am assuming that the person calling is really Sam Smith. Sometimes they want me to call Karen. I just ignore them as the SOL is in play so there is nothing they can do but harress me. I can play that game as well as the next guy.

NCO student loan collection I thought They sold car insurance but student loan collection is their game.....
These guys keep calling and calling... Specifically this guy name "Paul Smith" a collector keeps calling and they even try to get information about me from my 10 year old son.....

They are collecting on student loans, and they will try to strong arm you into making commitments that are not realistic.  I kept telling them that my hours were cut and I couldnt make the HUGE payments they were asking me to make..... SO I WENT ON THE INTERNET....
These guys just lied.... I was able to negotiate a monthly payment with them that was more affordable...
I found this guy on the internet he calls him self "The rogue Student Loan Collector" and he showed me everything I needed to do to SHUT THESE COLLECTORS UP!!!

Read their stuff Seriously.... No joke... He saved my family... Really....

My 91 year old mother keeps getting calls from this number. They say she owes money from a loan my sister had, yet they don't have my sisters last name. My sister nor my mother have any outstanding loans. I am afraid to call to get names and details because I don't want to start getting calls myself. My mother is horribly upset and doesn't answer the phone any more. This is worry some at her age. Being 91, she doesn't remember if they said the name of the company. It is harassment at this point. Can anyone give me advice on what to do?

They called my wife's cell phone daily for a week and left messages to call "Ed Blanchard".  I did so and after waiting a long time and getting hung up on once, I reached someone who said she would remove my number when I told her the person she was looking for was unknown to me.  She may have mispronounced the last name - if so, she was relative fishing: calling everyone with the same last name hoping to strike paydirt.

What's up my financial allies who also get seemingly harrassed over nothing.  These guys are horrible jerks just looking to steal as much as I can imagine they dream of doing to some poor old couple or single mother, you get the picture etc......everyday.  Bottom line is, don't let them get to you or give you anxiety.  If you do make the mistake of picking up the phone though pretend to wanna work with them if you feel like having some fun.  You can say some of that stuff the previous commenters were saying they did.  My favorite is asking them what level of due dilligence they perform when putting these properties for sales?  Have fun with the thieves.
