Palisades Collection took me to the court
Date: Thu, 07/05/2007 - 13:43
Now in June, I get a letter from a different "Law Firm" representing Palisades, stating that I owe them an unpaid balance.
First, I thought the former law firm had an obligation to validate within 30 days.
Second, I don't think the same company(Palisades) can take me to court twice over the same debt when they haven't validated it from my first request back in January.
Does anybody have any answers here?

Palisades is a dumpster diver when it comes to debt collection.
Palisades is a dumpster diver when it comes to debt collection. They find any old debt and try to collect it. Send the new law firm a validation request and make them prove it is yours and also that the statute of limitations has not run out on it. Make sure you dispute it as not yours that way they have to respond in thirty days. These "law firms" let others use their licenses to collect as "law firms." Go to www.budhibbs.com and to the list of agencies to avoid. You will find out much about those bottom feeders. You never gave the first law firm anything in writing so they can do whatever they want. You have no way of proving it because it was done verbally unless there was a court recording.
