Consumer Complaints Against National Credit Adjusters (NCA)

Disclaimer: The following content is a summary of complaints submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by consumers. The information provided is intended to inform and educate consumers about potential issues and experiences reported with the mentioned entity. 

Consumers across the United States have raised serious concerns about the practices of debt collection agency National Credit Adjusters, LLC (NCA). These complaints, submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), shine a light on potential violations of consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If you believe a debt collector has violated your rights, you could be entitled to free legal assistance. Here’s a breakdown of the primary issues consumers have reported:

Key Complaints Reported by Consumers 

Lack of Debt Validation

One of the most reported complaints about NCA involves its failure to provide proper debt validation documentation. Many consumers have requested validation—or proof that the debt being pursued is legitimate—only to receive vague responses or none at all. The FDCPA requires debt collectors to provide written validation of a debt upon request. Without this documentation, consumers are left in confusion about the legitimacy of the debts being claimed.

Your Right Under the FDCPA. You have the right to request written validation of any debt a collector attempts to recover. If the collector cannot validate the debt, they are legally required to cease collection efforts.

Erroneous Credit Reporting

Another significant concern involves incorrect credit reporting by NCA. Some consumers discovered debts placed on their credit reports that do not belong to them. These inaccuracies can drastically lower credit scores and hinder financial opportunities such as securing loans. Despite attempting to dispute these errors, many individuals have reported that the negative items remain unresolved.

Your Right Under the FCRA. The FCRA guarantees you the right to dispute inaccurate information on your credit report. Credit reporting agencies and collection agencies are legally obligated to investigate and correct inaccuracies in a timely manner.

Unauthorized Use of Personal Information

Consumers have also reported unauthorized use of their personal information by NCA. For some, this has raised serious privacy concerns, particularly among individuals dealing with financial fraud or identity theft. Using someone’s personal data without consent can violate privacy laws and harm consumer trust.

Your Right to Privacy. Under both federal consumer protection laws and certain state statutes, your personal information cannot be used without your consent. If you believe your data has been misused, you may have grounds for legal action.

Failure to Cease Collection Attempts

Another common consumer grievance is NCA’s reported failure to stop collection attempts after being explicitly requested to do so. Persistent calls or letters—even when the consumer disputes the debt—can lead to undue stress and harassment. Under the FDCPA, debt collectors must halt communication if they receive a written request to stop contact or if the debt is under dispute.

Your Right to Stop Communication. You can request in writing that a debt collector cease all communication with you. If they fail to comply, their actions may constitute harassment, which is prohibited under the FDCPA.

Lack of Communication and Notification

Many consumers state that NCA failed to notify them of their debts or their right to contest the claims. The FDCPA requires collectors to provide written notice within five days of first contact, detailing the amount owed, the creditor’s name, and how to dispute the debt. Failure to provide this information is a direct violation of federal law.

Your Right to Notification. You are entitled to receive timely written notification of any debt a collector claims you owe. This ensures transparency and gives you the opportunity to dispute invalid debts.
