I received a "Discounted Payment Offer' from this 'collections Agency' for a bill supposedly owed to Verizon. I have never missed a payment to Verizon, nor have I ever been late on a payment !! I verified this with Verizon (with whom I am a 'VIP' customer! I am a Federal Investigator and found this to be very suspect.

I AM DEBT FREE and have a very high credit rating. I went on-line and found that there are 2,680 entries on complaints about fraudulent billing related to Verizon from this same company! PLEASE INVESTIGATE!

Lonnie of Easley, SC August 27, 2009

On August 25, 2009 a collection notice was addressed to Lonnie M. I opened the letter, to find it was a collection notice from Afni for Verizon Wireless original account number - in the amount due of 444.29. I called 1-888- twice, the first person indicated that the birthdate was 12-9-58, which is Lonnie J, not Lonnie M as indicated on the collection notice. After a heated conversation that got no-where, the first person hung up.

A second call was placed and Jim indicated that SC state law prohibated them to talk to Lonnie J, that they needed to talk to Lonnie M. Lonnie J has a business phone with Verizon Wireless, that is in SL Masonary. This account does not belong to Lonnie J. Apparently, Afni has obtained the incorrect SS number, the Birthday to attached to Lonnie M. for the 444.29 debt due. THis is clearly a violation of the Fair Trade Act for privacy. Lonnie J does not have a bad debt. Due to the incorrect information, the 3 major credit reports could have this against Lonnie J in error.

Out of the blue I too got a collection notice from this Afni. It was over a cell phone that I had back in 2002. They tried to say I never paid my last bill, but I knew I had so I just ignored it (it was just for 56).Then I went to get a loan and found it was on my credit report. I looked on the Better Business Bureau web site about collection scams to see what I should do. I called Afni and the minute I mentioned the Better Business Bureau they put me on with a supervisor who said they would put a dispute on the account and start an investigation. One week letter a got a letter in the mail from Afni appoligizing for the problem and they closed the collection and removed it from my credit. I agree with previous post that they are getting old phone accounts and just trying to scam people.

I have recently checked my credit report and noticed a company named Afni, Inc was on there for a debt from Qwest which I have never used Qwest. It showed up as a date of 09/2008 and Ive never used that business or anything. Now Im trying to find the phone number for this business because their website doesn't have that or an adress for them. Any info would help tremendously. Thank you.

Jenifer of Ogden, UT August 15, 2009

I received a notice last month from Citibank saying they were canceling a Mastercard in my (maiden) name due to an Equifax report warning them I had "serious delinquency" on my credit report. I called Citibank and then requested a free copy of the report from Equifax and the only item of concern on it was from a collections agency called Afni, Inc, stating I owe 43 for unpaid "utilities" that first went delinquent in November 2002, but hadn't been reported to Afni, Inc until August 2008.

In November of 2002 I had no utilities, I was living with my parents and didn't even have a cell phone. Furthermore, I'd been living with them for most of that year, so hadn't had utilities for a while. Why would Afni not receive something for collections until 6 years later, and why hadn't it shown up on my credit report until July 2009? The whole thing is suspicious. I've already filled out the paper Equifax provided to dispute it.
