NCO Financial
Debt collector NCO Financial Systems, Inc. (NCOF) has agreed to pay restitution and change certain collections practices as part of a settlement agreement filed with the district court on February 6, 2012. Please read our press release for additional information about the settlement.
Please review the following FAQs if you want to apply for restitution:
How much restitution is available to Idaho consumers?
NCOF has set aside $50,000 in restitution for Idaho consumers.
Who is eligible to receive restitution?
If you fall into one or more of the following three categories, you likely are eligible to receive restitution:
- You paid NCOF for a debt that you did not owe;
- You overpaid interest on a debt that was not supported by the underlying agreement between you and the original debt holder or that was otherwise permitted by law; or
- You paid more on a debt than the amount NCOF agreed to settle the account.
What is the deadline to apply for restitution?
The $50,000 restitution fund is available until February 6, 2015. If the funds are not depleted before February 6, 2015 all remaining funds revert to NCOF.
How do I apply for restitution?
If you believe you have a valid restitution claim and you want to participate in the settlement, you must file a completed complaint form with the Attorney General’s Office. The complaint form must provide a detailed description of the consumer’s claim and, if available, include documentation that supports the claim.
Download complaint form and instructions.
How much restitution can I get?
You are entitled to receive restitution in the amount you paid to NCOF. You cannot recover restitution for other damages, accrued interest, punitive damages, emotional distress, lost wages, attorney’s fees, or costs.
What happens after I file my complaint?
The Attorney General will review your complaint form to verify your eligibility. Assuming you are eligible, we will forward your complaint form and supporting documents to NCOF. You will receive a copy of our cover letter to NCOF so you know when your complaint was sent to NCOF.
When will I receive my money?
It takes time for the Attorney General to process, review, and mail your complaint form to NCOF. Likewise, it takes NCOF time to process and review your complaint, prepare your check, and mail it to you.
Please be patient. If you have not received your check within 90 days of the date you sent your complaint to our office, call the Consumer Protection Division at 208-334-2424.
