Afni Collections

Fraudulent charges
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 24 votes
I too received a letter from AFNI collections for an old Verizon/GTE amount totaling $307.50. When I called for information I was told it was for phone services ending in 1998 at an address that we never lived at. In fact we had a phone line w/ verizon at this time at the address we had been living at for 3 years!!

I have seen several complaints with the exact same info on the following website. I am submitting my info there as well. An attorney was billed the same type of charge and is considering a class action suit.

Please report this everywhere you can. Make sure AFNI is NOT placing bad credit information to the credit bureaus.

I too received a letter from Afni stating that I own them $94.03 for Sprint long distance at an address I have never lived at. This debt they are trying to claim is from 12 years ago. I filed a police report (as afni told me I had to) for fraud, and now to find out they are the ones who are the frauds. They had the nerve to tell me that I needed to send them the police report, a copy of my SS#, a copy of my ID, and proof of my residence at the time of the bill. I thought, "are these people crazy?" Don't fall for this scam, the officer I filed the police report with even though it was odd that they would ask for that much information. Afni was totally trying to set me up for identity theft. I called them again and they stated that my account had been closed for fraud. That's funny because I never sent them the police report, just a letter asking them for verification of this debt.

My husband just received a bill from Verizon Northwest for 190.00. He's never lived in the state the bill listed, and a woman was connected to his name (as is wife!). We've never heard of this woman either!

Can anyone tell me who to report AFNI Collections to? I want this stopped, and I don't want anyone else to become a victim as my family has become.

I just found out that AFNI put a collection notification on my credit report, I am going to sue them.

I just received a collections notice from Afni collections claiming I owe Verizon $230! I've never had phone service through Verizon! And the number that was supposedly disconnected is in Oregon! I've never lived in Oregon! This has really peeved me and I feel the need to share to everyone. Letters, phone calls anything to stop this from happening to others.

AFNI sends me a bill for Verizon I paid in 2004. It was for $66 for a phone number I am no longer at. They said (AFNI) that they bought the debt but in reality it no longer exists. The statute of limitations has expired. The acct was from 1998 and ALLEGEDLY reported on 3/2000. Either way the 7 years is UP! Verizon was PAID. Good thing I have copies of the checks!
