I haven't found a way to prevent this other than constant monitoring of my credit report. I was told that ANY company with your social # can report negitive info.
This WILL be resolved. I am wondering if any of the older messages have been resolved or have any updates??

Search TipsThe first step is to mail a letter of dispute.
DEMAND they provide you with proof of the debt with a copy of a contract, note or some other instrument that has your signature! This needs to be mailed via certified, return receipt mail; this ensures they actually SIGN for the letter.
At this point, you wait. You are always better off going directly to the creditor, rather than the reporting agencies. Going directly to the creditor greases the wheels of justice and allows them less time than contacting the reporting agency. Usually, you will get an initial response claiming they are investigating your dispute.
This is normal; they are putting you off. Give them the alloted 30 days then send a follow up letter certified, return receipt mail. It is at this point that they need to put up or shut up. This is the last letter you are required to send them and if they still cannot provide you with PROOF, they have to cease reporting the debt and cease collection of it.
If they continue to run you through hoops, you do have recourse! File complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, as well as your State Banking Department. These two offices regulate collection agencies. You can also sue in small claims court, for a small fee. You would be entitled to a minimum of $1,000.00 and if they have failed to produce proof of the debt by the end of sixty days, they probably CAN'T prove it is yours!

I went online to find out any information I could about Palisade Collections and came across this site. I can not believe this company is trying to get away with this kind of crap!
I want justice, as I'm sure you all do, and I say we all make sure that happens to bring an end to this company getting away with furture lies and deceptions!
