NCO financial is one of the largest collection agencies hired by the creditors to collect consumers’ debts. They are individuals that say that they reported on the consumer’s credit report by mistake.
If you see an inaccurate negative item on your credit report by NCO Financial, you can dispute the item with the credit bureau and get it removed. You have to write a dispute letter and mail it to the credit bureau. Make sure that you are doing the communication in writing and send the letter through certified mail, return receipt requested. This will keep a track of all the communication done regarding the dispute.
When you draft the dispute letter, explain the reason of getting the item removed from your credit report. For example, if the account is already paid or if the balance is posted wrong, provide a proof of the receipt or if the account showing up on your credit report belongs to someone else.
As per the laws of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you can dispute the incorrect negative items on your credit report and get it removed.
