AT&T- Palisades Collection Agency ripoff failure to close account after request to terminate services Hill AFB Utah
Requested termination of services( Long Distance, Calling Card, and any additional services except local phone calls) in March 1999. Was in process of divorce at the time. The ex-spouse took the card and ran up a phone bill of $4230.
I got a bill from AT&T for that amount. I called and talked to a rep and told them that my services were terminated back in march and asked why I was recieving a bill from them. They said they did not terminate the calling card, and since some of the calls were placed to my residence (Ex-spouse was in Colorado at that time) that it was a domestic dispute and that I had to Pay the bill.
I told them that the bill was there responsability and that they screwed up and that I was not paying for a bill or sevice that was not mine. They of course reported it to Palisades collection agency and has since been on my credit report apparently. I only found this out do to applying for a mortgage and it showed up on my credit report in Jan 2004.
I was never contacted again by AT&T or Palisades about the matter. I have disputed the matter with the credit agencies. Pending me finding out a few more details about some things I have been informed of. I will be filing a lawsuit towards both agencies.
