I_need_help Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just received a call from NCO. After advising them the call is being recorded, and asking them for their names and addresses, they eventually gave me a U.S. address but admitted they are calling from India! So it looks as though NCO is on the outsourcing bandwagon. Just thought that may be of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missinglink Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I hope the U.S. is listening to all this "CHATTER". I recieved phone calls from Canada for about 2 weeks back in March of people that sounded Middle Eastern. They are not getting my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuss Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 That is not very good news. If the call is originating in India, then the actual collection agent is beyond the reach of the FDCPA as that can only apply to people residing within US borders. You may still go after NCO, but I'll bet money they claim it is the contractor that did any verbal violations and they did not condone any bad behavior. A judge might just fall for that crap.

LadynRed Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Regardless of where the collectors call from they are harrassing US citizens and they MUST abide by US law. NCO is PAYING these people and deliberately outsourcing to foreign countries - I'd bet any judge would hold NCO, a PUBLIC, American company subject to US laws, accountable for the actions of the ragheads they hire !!!

breathing_easier Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Whoa...I didn't think this board allowed ethnic putdowns. While I am not in favor of outsourcing American business and jobs to India, or any other country, and definitely not a fan of CAs, it's still no call for racist epithets.
