Palisades Collection, LLC
Plaza Associates For Verizon Communications INC. Still have same phone number, Would my phone be shutoff if it went to Collections?

I received a letter today from Palisades Collection, LLC stating that they were a professional collection agency and have been authorized to settle my account (Verizon Communications INC) by accepting 55% ($95.33) of the balance ($173.32). This would be for my current Verizon Phone number which is in good standing.

WOW, I always thought that an account had to be inactive in order to settle an outstanding balance. UMH, Wouldn't my phone be shutoff if I had an outstanding balance that made its way to a collection service?

It would be interesting to know how they got this information since I still have the same phone number this claim is against. I went online to see what I owed on my bill sicne I was a little fraked out by this.interesting that the current bill was much Less than their 55% ($95.33) they are claiming. I figured I might as well pay it since it was due in about 2 weeks.

In the Top left of the payment stub it had the following address:
PO Box 18008
Hauppage, NY 17788-8808

At the bottom it had please use this address for payments only:
