You should go here: budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/palisades_collections.htm

BTW, I guess we have a new name for Palisades Collection. Isn't that lovely :?

If you took that money out, and did not pay it, you still owe it. Your debt was purchased and now you owe the money to someone else. Now if you have proof of payment you can dispute your acct.

Sen them a letter via certified mail asking for debt validation.

Does anyone have an email address for Paragon Way Inc? They are on my credit report as the collection agency for a store-front pdl (Advance America Cash Advance) I would have taken out back in 2000 or 2001. I'd like to email a DV letter to Paragon. My credit report lists them in TX, and I was able to get an 800# from this website, but I would like an email address.

My homeloan officer who is helping me get credit-worthy enough to purchase my 1st home, told me to pay this debt off along with several others. The thing is, Paragon is scheduled to continue on record only until Aug 2008. My loan guy is having me pay off the collections that are within the last 2 years, but he added this one to my payoff list.

Any thoughts? And an email if it's advised to email them about the debt?

They cannot validate anything, and will NOT send you a settlement letter. If the current creditor is showing as Collins Receivables, LLC, guess what? Same owner as that of Paragon Way (Gary Wood). If they refuse to validate, take them to Small Claims. Trust me, the minute they get the papers, they will take it off your credit.

gizmocruz-thanks for your input. My credit report doesn't show Collins Receivables, LLC as the CA, only Paragon Way Inc. I know that one of the co-owners, Gary Wood, does also own Collins Receivables, LLC.

I still would love input on this from others. Should I try to get an email address to email a DV letter, or should I mail one to the Ben White Blvd address listed on my credit report?

Does anyone know the status of mike otr's (from his 8/4 posting above) DV letter?

Does anyone know if people have been successful in getting Paragon to comply with DV letter requests? My original debt, a store-front pdl place called Advance America, is really old. I may have received the loan in 2001, but most likely in 2000!I got the loan when I was living in California, and I'm not sure if that state has a 7 year statute of limitations or what.

They are not professional, they do not negiotiate. This account just showed up on my husband credit report. When you want to pay them off with a credit or debit card they say you have to pay 5.00 on each hundred you pay. This is a poor excuse of a company. The first voices you get are pleasant when they transferr you to Richard just hang up he is not a people person or a negioator.

That would fall under the sec 808 of the FDCPA:

yeah u can try their phone number 1-800-214-8742,

Paragon way has no reason to keep calling me and I am sick and tired of it They might as well stop as I will not answer their call

an agency called cheek law offices claims they worl for paragon way and got a judgement for garnishment against me. i was not notified...but when it was time to garnish me they found my employer and my employer notified me... can they do this?

Why don't you just pay your bill. I have to pay mine..

Call your local civil court and ask them how to file a Motion to Vacate the judgement due to Improper Service (since you did not receive a summons).

To the one getting the calls,
Send them a Cease & Desist letter. File complaints with the FTC, the FCC, your state Attorney General, the Bureau of Consumer Affairs, etc.

Greg,
While it's a waste of keystrokes, be glad that you are fortunate enough to have the money to pay your bills. You will not be so smug when you are in the unemployment line....

I was looking at my credit report and under TransUnion I apprently have an account and I owe 308$$$ So... where did that come from? I don't know where it originated or anything? What is this from and how do I get it off my credit???

Thanks

Dispute it with TransUnion.
