So I got the letter, and went to their (afni collections) website to dispute the claim. After filling out all the necessary info, this is the text I received -
Session Expired Due to lack of activity or transaction completion, your session has expired. Please click the continue button in order to re-enter your account number and Last 4 of SSN.

I applied for a car loan and a charge for verizon phone service appeared and a charge for direct tv also.In 2006 I had purchased a bundle from verizon which included tv phone service and internet,I was not happy with service so I teminated service with verizon now I have a charge fron direct tv and verizon and was told if I contact afni settle on a payment it would clear my credit and amount owed with direct tv and verizon since it was initially a bundle purchase, Is this true?

How old is this debt? It wont clear off your credit report infact in will re-age the debt and stay on your report longer. AFNI is one of the worst!!!!! I would send a DV letter and make them prove they even own the debt also check to see if they are licensed in your state. If they cannot validate the debt you should be able to have it deleted from your CR. Hopefully someone else will jump in here and correct me if I am wrong.

Afni has come after me for a Cingular cell phone I had almost 7 years ago now. However, they report to the credit bureau constantly and I notice that makes it later and later for the debt to fall off of my bureau. What about the original SOL? That does not seem to stand for anything. If they keep reporting it, it just starts over again.

If you're positive that you never did business with Verizon, then send them a cease-and-desist letter. Basically, tell'em to get bent. If you have any doubt whatsoever that they might have something, a DV letter would be the wiser course of action. __________________

Afni
I am currently having the "pleasure" of dealing with this scummy place. They have recently been calling me reguarding a supposed debt that I have with Tmobile back in 2004. (which was paid off) They keep telling me I owe 100.00 but they are willing to cut my debt in half to 50.00. When I spoke w/this guy on the phone he KEPT trying to get me to tell him if I will pay this off this month..and HOW I will be paying for it. I don't think he liked it that I kept repeating myself saying "Well, I'm not agreeing to anything until I call Tmobile to verify any of this.." He was trying to convince me that Tmobile will just refer me back to Afni and that they will not have my records anymore...& than AGAIN with the "Will you be paying this off this month?? and IF you pay it off how will you be paying for it?" I was on the phone with him for seriously almost 10 minutes...and he kept going in circles. I will be sending them a letter this week.
What a joke. oh! and JUST to make sure my records were right, I checked my Credit Report..and if I had a debt with Tmobile it would of been on there...and NADA
