As well as being sued by MN Atty General for Fraud, we contacted the Illinois Attorney General who is in the process of reviewing our documentation. FDCPA clearly states we have a right to a final bill and a letter of sale or assignment. Some "Pay us this amount" form letter does not fit the legal definition of "Validation".

AFNI buys the old debts from say VERIZON once they find you they offer to settle for half of the "old debt" they are just doin their job & are legit, IF YOU PAY YOUR BILLS YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM THESE PEOPLE (ALL YOU PEOPLE SOUND LIKE DEADBEAT DADS WHO GOT CAUGHT) they found me after 5 years I called Verizon and they confirmed everything.

AFNI is located in Illinois...file complaints with the Illinois Attorny General and the Central Illinois BBB. Send a letter via Certified Mail + Return Receipt to AFNI stating: Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am requesting written validation of this alleged debt, which includes: - a copy of the original signed contract with my signature - validation of the original "Date of Delinquency" for this alleged debt - validation of the "Date of Last Activity" for this alleged debt - validation that this alleged debt is within the statute of limitations. Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the burden to validate the debt falls on the debt collector. It is not my responsibility to validate this alleged debt for you. If your firm has the info to place this item on my credit report, then you need no further validation of my identity. Receipt of this validation request is being time stamped by the USPS. Either validate this alleged debt within the 30 day time period as allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or remove it from my credit files If this notation is not removed, I will have no choice by to take action per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I also file reports with the Attorney General of Illinois and the BBB.
