Pinnacle Credit Services is trying to collect a debt dated 2001 that has been sold to 3 different debt collectors. But, I payed one of the debt collectors almost 6 years ago and they will not give me the names of the previous debt collectors that owned my account and that the main owner (Verizon Wireless) sent me to. Verizon says they are not allowed to give me that information but they do have the three names of the debt collectors and said Pinnacle Credit Services should have that information, but they won't give it to me. Am I legally entitled to get the names of the previous debt collectors that I was sent to? I don't have the recipt from the debt collector I paid 6 years ago but they would have it on record so I need those 3 debt collection agency's names. Am I entitled to these names? Because they are threatening to take legal action if I don't pay, but they won't give me this information..


I am not sure if they can give you the previous companies, but it may be a case that Pinnacle doesn'e even know who they were. Verizon should be able to. I have always wished there was a national database for debtors to track who has what.

In any case, I have just paid off an old debt with Pinnacle and I found them pretty easy to work with (at least the person I dealt with). I had a small balance, but they still let me pay in two payments and kept their word to provide a paid in full letter and the credit bureaus have already updated the account. The only problem I had was that they called me at work, but once I told them not to call me there and called them back from home, they never called there again. Once I made the payment arrangements, they stopped calling as well.

I hope everything works out for you.

The amount is 783.60. This phone was for my son, although I did cosign. I or my son are not able to pay the full amount. My son had contacted Verizon a number of times to try to pay on the bill and they refused payment, instead wanting the full amount in total. I will look forward to a reply from you and any assistance you can give to us.
Thank you
