I seem to have your same problem, "Anonymous". I believe that Palasiades (sp?) is also the same company as Paragon Way, and I have them listed on my Experian report as collecting on an old debt that has passed the Statute of Limitations (sol). Which state did you live in when you opened your credit line with Spiegel? Each state has different laws pertaining to sol. I lived in California when my debt was opened, and California's sol is 4 years for written contracts (and 2 years for verbal contracts).
