On 08/07 I received a collections bill in the sum of $985.19 from Afni Inc who said they represent Verizon. It was not my phone number or my phone bill which after MY research was from 1991-1994 and from an area code. I have not lived at. I made contact by phone but could not resolve this. So, I filed on line with the federal trade commission on identity theft in this matter and sent a copy of the email report to Afni president and to the general manager. Yes I sent a copy to myself as well.
After days and days of research I found the person and address who stole my information. Which I sent to Afni as well. I also went to google.com and looked up statue of limitations on phone bills. In the state of New York it is 6 years and this was 14 years so while it is not my debt, I am covered. Then I found out that this company has done this to count less people. Which got me angry enough to file this report.
So be careful and do the research. Thanks Howard, formerly of Wappingers Falls, New York
