I just took a look at my credit report and nearly fell over. I had a great credit score the last time I looked and now I've got some collection account on there that has majorly dropped my score. It's from PALISADES COLLECTION and I never recieved any notice (phone,mail,email) of this account. The attempt to collect is regarding an AT&T wireless account. I haven't had AT&T Wireless for at least 7 years and when we switched to Verizon it was paid in full. I don't get it.
I did a Google search on the name and came up with this:

What can I do?



I am no expert...but I would write a letter to each credit reporting agency (Equifax, etc.) informing them that this information is inaccurate and you would like them to investigate.
Good luck!
