Several years ago I had cell phone disservice from AT&T Wireless and finally had to switch to Verizon to get useable service. I have disputed a final bill from them, and the issue was dropped for 2 years. After they are sold I start getting harassing calls from Palisades Collection and their so-called lawyers, Wolpoff & Abramson. I told them all that I'd see them in court before I paid another cent.
They finally filed suit in Massachusetts Small claims court. On the date of trial the Wolpoff & Abramson guy was totally unprepared and asked for a 60 day continuance. The court gave the continuance and marked the case "no more continuances."
On the second trial date Wolpoff & Abramson failed to show up and the court dismissed the case (with prejudice, no right of appeal).
Palisades is still reporting this as a collection account to the credit agencies even though I have filed "investigations" with them.
Palisades is a total scam agency, and I intend to pursue them with the Mass Attorney General's office as well as the Federal Trade Commission.
