double collections
Date: Tue, 12/18/2007 - 16:23
i got a collections notice for a very old verizon bill that was referred to palisades collections. i paid it a year ago, and now i am getting stuff from an nco group for an unpaid bill from at&t (never had at&t, but it was for the same address). has anyone else had their account sent to multiple collections for the same bill? i haven't yet got anything on my credit but an inquiry, but i don't feel i should even have that since it already paid it. how do i handle this? i would have just paid it (it's only 59 bucks) but it's so old (2002) I feel like it would be better not to. i'm not sure how to deal with this. if it is actually a separate bill, if i pay it, will i re-age it?

If you pay, you will probably re-age it. Besides, there's principle at stake here.
Sounds like the original CA sold the debt to another CA without mentioning the bothersome fact that you'd paid it.FWIW, Pallisades and NCO are both scum.
Send them a letter demanding that they validate the debt completely. Sample DV letters are available on this site.
