NCO is a debt collector and as such they don't leave messages because they don't know who will hear it.
You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter. You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to. Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment. If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.

I always have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate” business would need this many numbers to call out.
BBB gives them an A with 593 complaints and a sanction by the FTC-Seriously?:

And the results ...
Results of FTC Complaint
The penalties that NCO Financial faced as a result of the FTC complaint came in at a steep $3.2 million civil penalty. This became the largest penalty amount ever obtained by the FTC against a third party debt collector. This giant penalty amount also came with an agreement from Expert Global Solutions (NCO Financial) and its subsidiaries to stop harassing consumers and using abusive collection tactics that are against the law. If they violate the FDCPA at any time within 5 years after the complaint was filed (July 8, 2013) each violation will be looked at as a separate violation from those listed in the complaint, and will result in more monetary penalties to be paid by the collection agency.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Said it was due fire department collecting funds. I stated I cannot donate this year. Person got aggressive saying I should have told them sooner about mailing envelopes
A call last night from these folks. I didn't answer; they again left no message. I have three numbers bombarding my phone every day. It used to be just the occasional caller, but now the multiple caller.
