I had a bill from my first AT&T phone that Palisades Collection took in full. My second phone, that was being used by a friend (No longer a friend), was being billed back. The bill went to Palisades and they began to harass me. I let that go on for a while and finally gave in to them and agreed to pay the 50% of the $800 bill. The CSR agreed to remove the remainder off my credit list and I was content.
As time went by I wondered why I could not recieve any credit (ex. AMEX cards, MC, Visa, even store credit cards).in my inquiry of the credit agencies I found that the bill had been reduced to $397 but was still there on my credit and was reinstated 01. The bill I had paid was in Feb. I have no proof left of the payment, but since I paid that bill they restarted the remainder I owed from the date I made the last payment.
I now have read most of the statements of others that were ripped off by the same company. They have had the same experience as I have and I wonder how can you stop them from continuing to rip off people. They have to be stopped from ruining peoples credit and they need to be taken to court for robbing people at the same time. Are the CSRs getting the money they recieve and pocketing it?
Who is the one that is really in trouble? Is it the company that sends the bill to the collection agency or the customer that owes because we're the ones being ripped off?
