Gosh I haven't filed a report here in ages, last time I filed WE helped shut down a debt collection agency, one in Rockford, Ill.

Anyway, some months back I got a call from a real person informing me that I have a past due AT&T account for an incorrect address here in LA. To which I said "huh?" and denied that the debt was mine & of course the moron calling could careless. I even contacted AT&T and they confirmed that I have no past due billing.

Months went by & now I'm starting to get weekly phone calls, they're all robo-calls including one funny one that says by listening to the call it must be my debt. And todays robo call they finally say who they are - Palisades-something 'er other, thought they said Corrections, and a name that was jumbled - not my name.

Amazing how they can even attempt to collect a debt that's not mine. Oh well, guess that's the life of a low life collection agency - they'll bang on any door they can in an attempt to scare some cash out of people. Perhaps a real person will eventually call again one of these days.

Interesting to see a number of reports here about Palisades - confirms that they're surely a slimey bunch of frauds

robocalls, Palisades Collections

AUTHOR: Keith - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 02, 2011

For a short time after filing my report with the FTC the calls seemed to have stopped. But now robo-calls from Pacific Palisades come every couple of days. Also the calls now announce who they're from where in the past there was no mention of Pacific Palisades, something that debt collection agencys are supposed to do. Lately calls also announce who they're looking for, most of the time the name's garbled. Some calls also ask to push 1 if you're who they're looking for & 2 if you're not. Not sure if it really makes any difference, as I did push 2.

Usually put the call on hold or speaker & let the blah blah go until it stops in hopes that I help run up their phone bill. Lately the calls do provide a return phone # + a long string of numbers representing my supposed acct. Anyway, I filed another report with the FTC today. And of course I have no intentions of ever returning calls to Palisades as it will be a waste of my time. Not mention that I don't owe them any money for a phony phone bill with AT&T from an address where I never lived.

It is irksome that a company with no real hard facts can just go "fishing" as the rep from AT&T called it - in hopes of finding someone with a name like mine to pay off someone elses debt.

And the robo-calls from Palisades Collections just keep coming. Least now the recording says the company name, they didn't used to. But I have no plans to ever return their calls, who wants to argue with morons - with incorrect info. AT&T, the supposed debtor, says they're "fishing" calling anyone with my name in hopes of finding the correct person. Apparently telling them isn't good enough - which I did when a real person called some months back, nope I've never lived on S. Figureroa.

Filed a complaint with the FTC regarding Palisades Collections. Of course never know if anything will come of it - thought it was worth an effort to file. Especially since its not my debt Palisades is trying to collect + they're morons.
