Pinnacle Credit Services scamming me??

[kewi1804]

What is the name of your state? Nevada
Pinnacle Credit Services is trying to collect a debt dated 2001 that has been sold to 3 different debt collectors. But, I payed one of the debt collectors almost 6 years ago and they will not give me the names of the previous debt collectors that owned my account and that the main owner (Verizon Wireless) sent me to. Verizon says they are not allowed to give me that information but they do have the three names of the debt collectors and said Pinnacle Credit Services should have that information, but they won't give it to me. Am I legally entitled to get the names of the previous debt collectors that I was sent to? I don't have the recipt from the debt collector I paid 6 years ago but they would have it on record so I need those 3 debt collection agency's names. Am I entitled to these names? Because they are threatening to take legal action if I don't pay, but they won't give me this information..

and you didn't think to look in your own bank records?

this was six years ago, I had a differnt bank and I dont know the name or date of when or what the debt collectors name I paid was. It should be sometime in the year of 2001 so Im hoping the bank still has statements from then..

There is NO obligation for them to assist you... the obligation was on YOU to keep your records.

At this time, you might:
1) Get a copy of your credit report and see if the previous collectors are shown, and/or
2) Get a copy of the receipt you paid.

Further, even if you could find out the name, there is no requirement for the collector to assist you... or even have a copy of your payment after this long.
