When you've receive a collection notice from a collection agency what's the best thing to do
You should contact the collection agency immediately to arrange payment. But to make sure that you are not being scammed and that the agency who contacted you is a legitimate agency.
The City of Los Angeles Finance Office have provided the list of 4 official non-government collection agencies:
1. NCO Financial Systems, Inc. (Formerly known as OSI Collection Services, Inc.)
2. Caine and Weiner Company, Inc.
3. Gila Corporation dba Municipal Services Bureau
4. AllianceOne Receivables Management, Inc.
Don't worry for all your personal information will remain confidential and all the information provided by the government to the agency will only be use solely for collection purposes.
