On Saturday, January 13th, my husband received a collections notice from a comapny called Afni, INC. They claim that we had owed Verizon Communications, INC $1183.86. For a number we never had and in a state we have never lived in. Not ever.
We called Verizon and found that the number was for a residential home in Florida. That we would have to call to get information regarding that account. Tomorrow. As it is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. So, that is what we shall do for tomorrow. We don't even have a residential number here as we only use our cell phones. Been doing that for years. We are both born and raised here in New York. Never lived outside of New York, ever.
When my husband called Afni, INC, there was no answer. So, we did a web search. You have to give your social security number to be able to look at their website. We don't give our SSI#'s to anybody, let alone a website. So, that will not be happening.
Now, we are also looking into buying a home shortly. I hope that this can all be cleared up swiftly so we are not affected negatively and hold up our home buying process.
Will let you know what Verizon says tomorrow about this residential number that is in collections, under my husbands name... For a state we have never in our lives lived in. We'll see what steps we have to take to clear his name.
This is simply horrible and unimaginable.
