Pinnacle Credit Services - Consumer reviews and steps to deal with it

I do not know what guess collector has been smoking, but!!!! If only reality hit him/her in the face they may not be so stupid to the idea of bad buisness ethics. I have overcome this company "Verison" After two court cases and $1400. out of pocket expenses. THEY LOST!!!!!!!!!! They are correct about Pinnacle being with in their legel rights. They employ bad buisness ethics but it's legel non the less. Sorry I can not give any immediate relief to those of you hurting from their bad ethics, but I hope this dealing with legel crooks has made you wiser. Just one last bit of advise. Read up on debt free living and sonner than you would expect you will free from your own ignorance. God Bless.

These guys are trying to collect on a debt from 1989 and they are nasty no professionalism at all

They are billing me for, "something" I wasn't even aware of oweing. Reason being that I wasn't even in the U.S. at the time they say this bill was incurred. This is ridiculious! People harassing you all the time, I just hang up. I get calls from 000-0000 on my cell phone. I just ignore the call, I'm not going to waste my minutes on these people. We talk about stress at our jobs and dealing with our co-workers, what kind of people work where they can constantly bag and tear you down. I think these people can drive someone to suicide honestly!! My dad is a joker and hates to be bothered, he has come up with a few responses to thier inquiries. Oh, "I'm sorry he's not here he's been down at the veterans hospital for awhile and I don't know when he is coming home, his cancer is terminal." Another is to gasp, then let them know he has to go take a shit!! If the person has annoyed him he does the classic thing like make a comment about thier mother, they hang up and dont call back.
For me I just ignore them and not let the stress they will create enter my life. It sucks when I need a credit score though, just dispute it online and its like cal,GONE. Atleast for me. Good Luck too you all and when you talk to them, remember that middle finger. Use it!

don't trust them to anything that is not on paper.... I made an agreement for a certain settlement by phone. Used phone check to pay it... They ended up charging me 80 dollars more... I called them about it and their response was "did you have that offer in writting"... Dont trust them

yup, I was harrassed constantly by this company. They called my house every hour, and my parents house even after they were told not too. I did owe the debt, but I was pying a different comapny, and that company sold to these POS'. What I did was very calmly asked for a supervisor. I got her name, the address, phone number, fax, and tax ID. I then filed a formal complaint with the FTC. As far as I know they are under investagation. I was called names and told that having a baby while working and going to college was no excuse for not paying my measly bill of 150.00. Yup. $150.00!!! Thy could have mailed me a letter, that might have helped. Jerks

THE CORRECT PHONE NUMBER IS 952-939-8100. GOOD LUCK.

This Credit Service showed up on my credit report and told me that I owe them $2,394.00, I never knew this Credit Service before and I know to myself I cannot apply credit because I was having bad credit. How the heck this people got my identity. Please tell me how can I take this out to my credit report. I am not paying these sick people. Can Please someone tell me how they fix their account from this people.

THEY HAVE FROZEN MY ACCOUNT IS THERE ANY WAY TO FREE IT UP. PINNACLE TOLD ME NO EVEN THOUGH I MADE PAYMENT SHEDULE WITH COURT IS THERE ANTHING I CAN DO

I had a debt with verizon who sold it to pinnacle for collection, later I settled up with Verizon in full and received a letter stating so. Verizon bought the debt back from pinnacle in 05 and reported the debt as satisfied. I provided a copy of the letter to Pinnacle and they continued to report the debt to my credit report for 3 more years and...they just sold the debt to another collection agency...this month...because our credit is so detremental to our lives, there should be a government entity that keeps controls on and regulates how these companies operate.

These people are trying to get me for $223.oo, but they will not provide me with any info about the account or where it originated. They have never tried to contact me. I was also hung up on when I finally got ahold of someone. Thanks for the numbers. Why doesn't someone shut these idiots down? Any good and mad lawyer, crusaders out there?

These people just showed up randomly on my credit report. I call them and they have no idea who I am nor why they are on my credit. They furthre proceeded to tell me that they have no way of updating my credit report as it is not something that they do. WTF!!!! Is all that I can say!

OMG, to, I just spoke to that ahole also. I had my ID stolen 5years ago...reported it and have been using a credit monitoring service, I got the number from them and here on this board. You guy's are gonna love this, I told him our conversation is being recorded and he hung up on me, so I called back. He informed 'me, retired law enforcement' that it was illegal, no it's not when you inform them that you are taping. I asked him why the hostility and opposition of my taping, they do it to us all the time....must've hit a nerve, will be reporting Steve Hall to FTC and I think all of you that have had dealings with this should do so also. BTW, he said it was a mistake, it sure was on his part...anyone want to join in on a class action lawsuit???? Toomanysecrets@hush.com write me. J.

You're going to be a lawyer and you can't even spell. Yeh, we're going to fall for that. I was a collector to, and the only way someone can call evryone you know (which only consists of references or previous phone numbers) is if their skip tracing. They will contact your neighbors, but that is a last ditch effort. Seems to me you really need to know what you're talking about. Have you read anything on this forum, these people PAID OFF their debt and are being harrassed to pay it again. A friend of mine recieved a court summons from these **** and she has never owed anything. The girl has never been in debt so what do you say to that? If you're going to become a lawyer, you should really brush up on your spelling and how you talk to people you ignorant fool. Also, how DARE you talk to someone who has a loved one overseas the way you did. You will definitely have a place right beside pinnacle in hell you bitch!

The above post is directed to collector/same collector. See her posts from July of 2007. This girl is a class "A" moron.

I just received notice that Pinnacle Credit Servie reported a $ 60 bad debt. Who are they?? Convenient that they do not list a phone number
