AFNI - VERIZON FRAUD! ripoff Bloominton Illinois
My husband is a victim of this scam also. When I checked our home mailbox, I seen that there was a Verizon bill in his and his ex-wifes name. We've been together for 6 years and they've been seperated for 10 years. I was thinking that she opened an account in his name.
Before I could rip some a**, I found out that she had not done this. My husband keeps a good eye on his credit and keeps good credit. So for this fact we could not understand where this was coming from.
I found this website and read everyones situations and suggestions. I will be popping a letter off to them for "debt validation" and numerous letter to Ill politians, FTC, FDCPA, and anyone else that I feel need be.
I think this world is screwed up and we need to stick together on this. Other people are right when they say "I'm just glad it's over" that enables these frauds to keep doing it other people. Since the frauds (afni) search public records for our info. We have the names of the people who work at afni, why don't we look up there info in public records! I bet they would love to know that I know where they live!
Also, I called Verizon and spoke with Loni. I asked what collection agency Verizon used and she said, "afniupsourcing.com". And that she never heard of "afnicollections.com".
So I go on the afniupsourcing while I'm on the phone with her, and pointed out to her that on the front page was a link to afnicollections. She suddenly didn't understand anything anymore. I think this is deeper that we really think!
I will be giving all of you updates on everything. Pissed off in Arkansas!

What the money you say I owe is for; Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe; Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable; Identify the original creditor; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent 1. NEVER talk to a collection agency on the phone. Period. 2. Keep good records. This can be the difference between a good and bad settlement. Don't expect them to remember you or what you agreed upon. 3. Send all correspondence via registered mail, receipt requested and put the registered mail number ON THE LETTER. DO NOT SIGN THE LETTER TYPE YOUR NAME 4. Keep a copy of every letter you send. 5. Penalties and extra interest are typically fictious amounts of money added on by the collection agency to pad their profits. Sometimes as much as to 50% of the debt or more claimed to be owed by a collection agency consisting of interest and fees. This is illegal, every state has usery laws (which dictate the maximum interests allowed to be charged. That is except North Dakota. There are no such laws which is why most credit card companies incorporate there.) Junk debt buyer pay anywhere from 1 cent to 7 cents on the dollar, there is no way there is this much interest. 6. Time is on your side. As time passes, the creditors will likely stop calling and the debt will be filed away for future attention or until the SOL runs out ..
