OK. I know I am not the only person having problems with MedClR/NCO, but can someone please help me find a lawyer or some resource to deal with them?
I just received an alert that my score had dropped 40(!) points, so I log in to see the changes and my report listed two items.
1) That my Chase balance was showing overdue past 120 days, which wasn't correct. I always pre-pay this card and keep the balance low. I spoke to Chase and they didnt show anything overdue and the representative sent a message to their people to fix this error. She told me I should recieve a letter in 10 - 12 days
2) The second item is something I had seen on my credit report before, and attempted to fix previously -- something from NCO showing balance $0 on a paid collection account. I will just cut and paste what it says.

I have no problem paying something I owe, but I don't trust these people at all, and they have no way of justifying $265. I would pay if they could prove that they will take this information off my report, but is this really the smart move?
I called them and got a complete run around. Transferred to four different people all who asked me for my FULL Social Security number. There is something ridiculously suspicious about a company that I've never spoken with or dealt with in my life asking me for this type of information.
The first three people had no information for me. The last one tried to tell me that I still owe $265, even though the previous three told me that they show that I paid this bill last year, which is impossible.
What am I supposed to do about this?
Any help is appreciated...
