Afni
Verizon California Inc. Sent me to collections of Afni collections after 8 years! Ripoff

Afni is trying to pin a $215 phone bill on me 8 years after the fact! Not only that, but they gave me the dates of when these charges were made and I wasn't even living at the residence then!

Does any one know if there is a time limit on how long a business can collect from an individual? I mean, it's been almost a decade! The weird thing is, The original company, Verizon California Inc. Could have very easily contacted me with this charge 8 years ago! I have always been listed and my parents kept the same address for 30 years!

What is going on here? I told them they need to find records of who made the last payment on this account and that is the person they need to go after. Afni.inc. Did tell me that I could claim "identity theft" which I may have to do.

Should I call their number and talk to someone in regards to doing this?

I have made NO PAYMENTS on this, but have talked with two agents at the Afni Inc. Collections office.
Can anyone give me some information on how to handle this? It is absolutely not my bill and I absolutely will not pay for it.
