Afni Collections - Afnicollections.com Fraudulant Collections Claims, Requesting payment of inacurate fabricated debt, ripoff Bloomington Illinois
I received a collections request in the mail today from a company named Afnicollections.com out of Bloomingtion, Illinios. For the past 6 hours I've raked through my mind trying to recognize the phone number that they say I owe a $800 and some-odd dollar phone bill on to verizon communications.
Once I sat at my computer to go to this companys website for some info., RipoffReport.com popped up with an identical report as the one I am writing. I guess this happened to a gentleman in Nevada.
Now I too am pondering my next step knowing I owe absolutely zilch to Verizon Communications. Should I contact the police?? Will they put this garbage on my credit report?? Do I need to contact someone involving this, I have worked hard to get my credit to where it is.

Shawn, regarding your AFNI "problem"

Shawn, You are dealing with a very amateur bunch here. They are attempting to do "skip tracing" and you are unlucky enough to have the same or similar name to the original debtor. However, you are dealing with monkeys here that only wished they had the IQ of a houseplant. Don't panic. They can't do anything to you. As long as they don't have your phone number here's what you do to play with them. I do this to these rejects all the time and it really pisses them off. Take that letter and write some really really foul comments on it out of sight from the address window. Then get the reply envelope and write "attn: payments" in the lower left hand corner, but do not put a stamp or return address on it. Then drop it in a big blue mailbox. Now, they get a postage due envelope that they have to go stand in line and pay postage to get. After all, they want that payment, right? You might as well waste some of their time and money too, and get a good laugh out of it.
