Why Is Palisades Collection Suing Me?
About Palisades Collection
Palisades Collection is a debt buyer, meaning it purchases unpaid debt from other creditors and tries to make money off of collecting that debt. If Palisades Collection has served you a lawsuit notice, it is because it likely now owns a debt that you have not yet paid to some other creditor, such as a bank, a utility company, or even a professional service provider. The company is now trying to get you to pay that debt so it can make back the money it spent in the first place, but it may not be doing so legally. There is also the possibility that they are claiming you owe money which you do not in fact owe, since it is common for debt buyers to contact the wrong person about an account, or they might be asking for more than you actually owe. With years ofproven resultsfighting against these types of collections agencies, Lebedin Kofman LLP can help you find debt relief fast.
What Do I Need to Know About Palisades Collection?
In recent years, Palisades Collection has attracted some negative attention in the news for problems with their debt collection practices. In a May 2013 Wall Street Journal article, reporter Sophia Hollander writes that the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs is reviewing 96 complaints filed against the debt buyer since 2004.
Furthermore, the company has been implicated in 591 federal lawsuits, most of which were tied to alleged Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) violations. Some plaintiffs said Palisades Collection tried to collect debt they did not even owe. Others claimed they were never told of the debt collection lawsuits against them, often times not discovering the default judgments against them until years later when their credit was ruined, theirbank accounts were frozen, or theirwages were garnished.
