Afni, 3 Collection Notices Blomington Illinois

My husband received 3 collection notices from Afni, Inc. Due to the nature of these bills and to a previous ex-girlfriend who was infamous for using his SSN without him knowing, it appears that these bills have some validity. However, we only paid on one of the bills, and we settled at half of what they were asking for. I did request a copy of the bill that they were asking for payment, and it was from Verizon Florida, Inc., which many others are complaining about.

What we have done is file an identity theft case in the county in which we currently reside, we had to provide them with his tax returns for that year, and in turn they don't report this false claim to our credit. I will be performing an annual audit of our credit reports in February, and if Afni has filed something against us, I will provide the big 3 credit agencies with the information from Afni.

So, there is a possible solution to the problem, but I would be VERY skeptical about sending them payment. Also, don't send them SSN information unless you find a secure way to send it to them. I am going to get an email from an individual, password protect my documents, and limit what they can do with the information, since this is very sensitive information.

If anyone else has some better information, please post it. That is my advice to you all. His tax returns show that he didn't live at the address for which Verizon and Cingular had the account listed, therefore excusing him from any liability to pay for the sought after debt.
