Afnicollections Like most of you, Verizon bill thats not mine. I Owe $397.55. Aug 99 it was opened and I NEVER lived in CA or know anyone that is there now Bloomington Illinois
Hello everyone! I got a letter from Afni stating that I owe almost $400 for a Phone bill that happened in CA and it was opened up in August of 99. I never lived outside WA state and I dont know anybody that lives in Pacoima or Burbank CA. I have never used Verizon in my life. I have read alot of the reports here and I did call Anfi. The operator confirmed that he had my address, my SS, and said that I needed to fill out a ID Theft Affidavit and send it to them so they can stop the account. The ID Theft Affidavit give out ALL my personal info!!
I called the FTC and they told me that I needed to get ahold of one of the 3 major credit people and put a 90 day Fraud Alert on my record. So I did just that. Some of the questions I have are this: Since this accured in Aug of 1999, can this be put on my credit report? When is the cut-off? How is it that "Verizon" had my SS number and NEVER tried to contact me in the past and now some 2-bit collections agency has it (I know they buy old "debts" but after 8 years, NOW they contact me??)? Is there anything I can do to stop this with out filing the Affidavit and giving them ALL my info??
