I received a collections notice dated 7/27/07 for my old phone number (703) 318-7351 which I had disconnected several years ago when I converted my internet access to DSL with Verizon. Additionally, I had not moved from the address and still reside at the same place
When I spoke to Brenda, Afni, Inc. She stated that Virginia is a "single billing" state and as such I needed to pay the bill. I explained in detail that the collection did not make any sense and that she needed to verify the facts prior to continuing to send me collection notices. She asked for me to verify additional information on the billing to which I responded that she had adequate information on her Collection Notice and I said "good-bye" and disconnected my call.
Upon, speaking with Verizon (800) 688-2880 they confirmed that the account for my past phone number (703) 318-7351 was in fact closed with no balance due.
