I too have received a collection notice for a T-Mobile account I supposedly had in 2001 (Yes! 7 years ago). In addition to the applicability of the statute of limitations it is unbelievable that I have to run around looking for documentation from this far back to prove it is not my account (in addition to the fact that after some research I learned that T-Mobile did not exist in the US until 2002...

DO NOT pay AFNI one penny simply to clear your credit files...If you do you will validate the debt as valid and you will own it....They could then keep this paid defaulted debt on your credit files for years.


Send a letter via Certified Mail + Return Receipt to AFNI stating:

Your firm has damaged by credit rating with your posting of damaging info on my credit file for a debt that does not belong to me.

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.

Either validate this alleged debt or remove it from my credit files. If this notation is not removed, I will have no choice by to take legal action per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I also file reports with the Attorney General of Illinois if this bogus notation is not removed from my credit file .
