Have You Been Contacted by NES Regarding an Outstanding Debt?
National Enterprise Systems, also known as NES, is a third-party debt collection agency headquartered in Solon, Ohio. The agency collects on behalf of 150 post secondary institutions, as well as for a variety of other sectors including: retail, financial services, automotive companies, telecommunications services and state governments. NES was founded and incorporated in 1987.
Although receiving a phone call from NES might sound like a scam, the company is a legitimate debt collection agency. Not only does the agency collect on behalf of a range of clients, but it also buys written-off debt—also referred to as bad debt. Purchased for a few cents on the dollar, most written-off debts are unlikely to be collected. However, should NES collect, they can make a significant profit. For instance, if your debt was $1,000 a debt buyer may purchase it for $50. If you pay the full $1,000, the buyer makes $950.
NES has been the subject of numerous consumer complaints alleging the agency has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) via improper conduct, improperly sharing information, and threatening to take actions they legally can’t. If you’ve been contacted by NES, before you proceed it’s integral you have the support of a qualified attorney—such as our team at McCarthy Law PLC.

What Should I Do if Contacted by NES?
If you’ve received a letter or a phone call—at home or at work—from NES, you immediately need to ask the agency to validate your debt. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, you are entitled to confirm your debt before taking any further action. The FDCPA was created to protect consumers from harassment and unfair treatment. At McCarthy Law, our attorneys are well-versed in the rules outlined in the act, and can empower you by educating you about your rights while offering protection from relentless collectors.
When you ask NES to verify your debt, they are required to send it to you in the form of an official letter—known as a debt validation or debt verification letter. The document will outline:
- What the debt is
- Where the debt is from
- How much you own
- Anything else you need to know
It’s imperative to verify your debt for a couple of reasons. Firstly, debt collectors make mistakes. Secondly, it offers you a chance to be sure of how much you really owe. Having this information moves you one step closer to managing your debt and living harassment-free.
With the help of McCarthy Law, we can stop NES in their tracks. With us by your side, we’ll strategize the best way for you to tackle your debt and negotiate a fair settlement.
