Subject: Palisades Collection in my credit report - what to do?

I have Palisades Collection Agency listed in my credit report against a very old debt. I am not sure whether I still owe the debt or not.
Now my question is:
How can I check that I actually owe the debt and the original creditor has sold off the debt to Palisades collections? How can I contact Palisades Collection? Can anybody in the forum give me details of Palisade Collection Agency. |

Palisades Collection is a collection agency with no BBB accreditation. If you find the name of Palisades Collection agency in your credit report, it means that the you had an outstanding debt which the original creditor has sold to Palisades Collections.
To be sure whether the debt has been sold off to Palisades collection, send a debt validation letter by certified mail. If the CA validates the debt within 30 days from the date they receive your letter, come to a repayment plan and pay off the debt. However, you should try to come to a pay for deletion agreement with the CA in writing before you pay off the debt so that as soon as the debt is paid in full, the negative listing is removed from your credit report.
If the creditor cannot validate the debt, send a dispute letter to the credit bureaus along with the proof that you have asked for debt validation. The bureaus will verify it with the CA and get it removed from the report. |

| AT&T charges me on my cell phone while I was deployed, and prior to my deployment, I got on the phone with AT&T and suspended my contract until I return. So now I have this collection of $890 for 9 months now. |

Hi Jo,
I can understand the situation. Do you owe them as much as they are asking for?

Hi Gajadhar,
Do you have any proof of the report that you made to the bank? Was it within 60 days of the loss of the card? Talk to your bank. They might have it in thei records. Palisades is famous for their forceful tactics. Dont get cowed down Gajadhar.

Please read this Charlotte:
| Quote: | When I was repairing my credit, this was the most beneficial thing to me. I had a couple verify with the CRAs that the information was correct (one being Afni) without ever responding to my request for validation. I sent Afni a firm intent to sue letter demanding deletion by a date or further action would be taken. It was removed. I also emailed their legal staff from addresses I found online.
The CA has 30 days to properly validate. Disputes with CRAs generally last 30 days as long as you dont call in with new information. They can then add another 15 days stating you have added new information, even if you haven't. Better not to contact them during disputes.
Thing is, for relatively old CAs or collections that have been passed on to Junk Debt buyers, they can't provide proper validation. One of their tricky techniques is to say they sent you a letter that you didnt respond to. That doesn't matter. They may send you a letter asking for more information such as ssn# etc, but as long as you provide the account # they are just stalling. Ignore it. 30 days have passed, you can assume the debt is not valid.
If they verify with the CRAs and don't validate, it's time for the ITS. A firm ITS. It's gonna be deleted or they are paying you $1,000. |
Start by sending the below letter certified mail with return receipt with the correct information:
Your Name
Your Address
Name of CA
Address of CA
Date:
Re: Your Account No:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I checked a copy of my credit report and realized that there was a collection reported from your agency on my credit report, which I was not notified about. I do not reject to provide with the debt amount. However this a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 (b) that your claim is disputed and a validation is demanded. This is asking for proof regarding the debt that I owe and verifying it.
I am requesting you to stop all collection activities including reporting this information on my credit report. I am sure that you are aware of the fact that non-compliance with this request will end up in legal obligations.
Please dispatch copies of the following with your reply:
1. The agreement which authorizes you to collect debt on the assumed debt.
2. The signed agreement from the debtor confirming to pay the debt
3. The documents regarding the payments made on this account and validation of the amount.
With regards,
Your Signature
Your Name
Then immediately dispute it with the credit reporting agencies. Just paying a collection without them properly validating is not in your best interest, even if you do owe it. At the very least, you need to try a pay for delete letter if you feel morally responsible. |
