They keep calling and they have changed the area code consistantly over time. Every so many days they started with 313 and now are up to 972. And like the rest when you answer it is complete silence.
Yes we have already established that. Maybe instead of posting that useless post, you could have posted something helpful, such as this:
NCO FINANCIAL AKA NCO GROUP AKA EXPERT GLOBAL SOLUTIONS AKA TRANSWORLD
My thanks to Slim and Tamianth for their additional input.

Here is a copy of the 2013 filing:

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.

Although I would guess that is probably a bit beyond you.

***A company must be licensed in their state as well as the one they are trying to collect in if two different states are involved.
Some Tips:

*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
