I received my credit report and saw a delinquent account with Palisades Collection for an old AT&T bill. I did not remember this but figured I needed to clean up my credit and paid the amount of $156.99
Two months later, I received a letter from TxCollect, Inc dba CTI claiming that Palisades had sold the account to them and now I owed them $168.55! Only when attempting to find the Palisades phone number did I come across the fact that they are the same company, which of course they deny! DO NOT PAY THESE CROOKS!!! Verify all account with the original creditor before paying... good luck!
