NCO Financial was established in the early 1920’s and has been operating since. There headquarters are located in Pennsylvania.

They are located across 9 different countries with over 140 operation facilities. They collect on accounts related to education, utilities, health care and more.

If you have a notation on your credit report from NCO Financial then you credit score has been damaged. You should remove this notation from your report in order to improve your score.

To remove this listing I suggest you dispute it with the credit bureaus. To do this a dispute letter must be sent to the credit bureaus.

In your dispute letter you have to explain why the listing is wrong. Reasons can include; item is out of date, information is wrong, not my account and more.

When the credit bureaus get your dispute letter and find that it is valid, they will then conduct an investigation into listing. During this investigation the credit bureaus will contact NCO Financial and ask them to verify the amount and dates of the disputed listing.

Often notations are removed once an investigation begins. This is because nco financial and other business are un willing to spend the time and money verifying an uncollectible debt. Thus the credit bureau will then remove the notation from your report.

However it costs the credit bureaus potential profits to investigate a dispute. Thus the credit bureaus are not going to be receptive to your dispute letter.

Frequently the credit bureaus will respond to a dispute letter by asking for more information about the disputed listing. They do this in an attempt to frustrate you and have you give up on the dispute process.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act a piece of legislation that was passed by congress is there to help you. This law says that the bureaus must investigate disputes and if the listing is found inaccurate or unverifiable then it must be removed from your credit report.

If this debt is legit and you do owe the money then you can settle the debt. If you choose to settle then you should send a settlement letter offering an amount to settle the debt with NCO.

In this settlement letter, I strongly encourage you to get in writing from NCO that they will remove the negative listing in exchange for your payment. If you do not get this then you will be forced to dispute the negative listing later.

I recommend settling this debt for less than the total amount. The reason for this is NCO has purchased your account for only pennies on the dollar. Also between interest and fees your bill has probably added up to more than the original debt. Thus I recommend starting your offer at 50% of the total debt. Also you should know that an inaccurate amount is grounds to dispute the listing.

In sum, I suggest disputing the listing with the credit bureaus. This can be done yourself and I recommend that method if you have very few negative marks on your credit. If you have multiple negative marks then I suggest a credit repair firm.
