Afni, Inc. Corupt Debt Collection Agency Ripoff Bloomington Illinois

This company sent a letter telling me that I owed ~564 to Bell South now Verizon for a number in the state of MI (making it a contract for services rendered). While it is true that I did have a number in Munith, MI, to the best of my knowledge and according to all documentation (including my current credit report), all previously know debts are paid in full and my FICO score hovers near 750.

Even if by some fluke this was my debt, it occured in 1998 and the statute of limitation in the state of MI allow only for 6 years to attempt to collect contractual debts before they are allowed to be written off.

I do not appreciate scare tactics that are being used by this company for a debt that isn't even mine. I am also concerned as to how they got my information. I did a google search and found a number of other people with similar indicences with this company.

I have sent a registered cease and dessist letter and reported this company to the FTC (https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup) and I encourage everyone else to do this too.

Additionally, even though they say you can manage your account online, I have tried many times over the past 2 days and at no time was I able to do this. I think this is a scam!!!
