Complain about a product or service

Afni

I received two letters billing me for 1200 one bill and the other was for over 300.00 I called and told them they were mistaken they are not my bills. They said it will take 30 days to investigate. I looked on the Fair trade commision web site and from there wrote afni a letter. #1 the debt is over 7 years old so they cannot report to a credit reporting service(debts are not mine). #2 the debt is over 5years old(Florida statue) so they cannot sue me for the debts(which are not mine) #3 I wrote that they may not contact me. FTC rule.

If I tell them they cannot contact me they have to go back to original debt holder for them to call me. #4 I contacted Verizon and they had no record of the debt and would not on a debt that old. THIS COMPANY IS FISHING. IF YOU PLAY WITH THEIR BATE THEY WILL USE UP YOUR TIME TO WRITE THE SAME LETTER. IT MUST BE DELIVERED TO THEM WITH IN 30 DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF CHARGES. RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

I received release letters from them one week after they signed for my letter saying I owe them no debt.

They have been sending notices for a debt with AT&T MOBILITY despite the fact I have only once have I subscribed with AT&T, and I'm still a customer. I dialed *67 when calling them just in case they use caller ID. I refused to give my account number to them. I'm going to contact AT&T to see if there is any credence to these claims. I can't imagine why.

Afni collections inc is the worst after I contact them and told them this Verizon account is not mine, they started to say that if I dont pay them their money they was going to send the police to my house and have me put in jail for nonpayment. I told them I dont owe them anything and to send me a bill stating I owe this money they did not , then they was calling me all day and night on my home phone leaving all types of nasty messages is this the way a collection agency to act?

I tried blocking the number but they keep calling from different numbers. Then they started calling my job telling the people I work with not to trust me that Im a thief and dead beat that dont pay his bills. These people are sending me crazy for an account thats not mine I called Verizon about the account they said they have no record of me having an account with them. When I told afni this I was told thats not there problem? they want their money and if they dont get it Im going to jail.

at a point that i could have lost my job they keep on calling and telling lies about me trying to collect money i dont owe.

I received a collections statement using the wrong last name for a business I never have used in a town 400 miles away from where I live. Afer calling to report the bill was an error...the person quoted my correct SSN and Birthdate. Then accused me of either so-signing for the use or denying I was responsible. He kept stating 'WHO DID YOU CO-SIGN FOR' and ' WHY DON't YOU PAY TO CLEAR YOUR NAME', etc. I became very frustrated. Later, I checked my credit report and found I had one negative mark.....from AFNI.

This has caused me much stress. I have worked hard to obtain excellent credit. At first, I thought this was Identity theft, but then I realized after checking my credit report that it was AFNI working solo. How do I get this off my credit report?

I have received a negative charge on my account form AFNI, Inc. for a Verizon account that I have never taken out. I have never had Verizon cellular service nor home phone services. I am wondering why I am receiving a phony charge of 550.00 on my credit report for a charge that I have never created.

I have been under serious emotional stress during this matter.
