Yesterday upon opening my mail, I discovered a collection notice for Afni, Inc. in attempt to collect for Verizon New York Inc for the amount of $423.74. When I called to find out what this was about the guy, by the name of "Kelly", stated it was to collect on a past due bill from 7/1993 to 4/1994. Upon requesting he send me copies of these past due bills, he stated that I "had to send in a request in writing". Today I decided to see what I could pull up on google.com on this company, I really got the shock of a lifetime. So many complaints & wonders similar to mine. As several others I have read, there was no mention of any past due Verizon bill on my credit report, which was just looked at last month by a very big and well known car dealer, and I had no problem getting a new vehicle. This really seems odd to me, ESPECIALLY considering I currently have my phone service through Verizon.

Afni is also going after me also for a verizon bill, how weird is that? For an outrageous amount of 529.79. What is hilarious about the location and phone number they are using is in another state that i used to live at in 1997 and the bill was for 2002. I moved to Nevada in 1997 and they are saying that it is from 2002. I don't think so, I have been living in Nevada since 1997. This company needs to be investigated. This company is going to make too many mistakes and find out they chose a person that can have close people that are in law enforcement check this out.
