Got my notice from AFNI last week referring to a Bell Atlantic (Verizon) phone #. I called them and talked to a rather pleasant woman (Holly). She attempted to help, but it still came down to "You have to Pay" She said that the phone number on the notice may not be the number I was being billed for. The account was apparently opened in March of 1998 to 2931 8th Ave. Apt 8b New York, NY.
Now I have never lived in NYC and in March of '98 I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Nebraska. She also mentioned something about the account being at Frederick Elementary School. Well there's a bit of a contradiction. She did say that this wouldn't be reported to the credit bureaus since it was so old (at least something was accurate). But then she said that the SOL was irrelevant "A debt is a debt. It doesn't go away. You'll have to pay it." I was directed to their website and filled out the dispute screen (they already had all the info anyway as Holly read it to me over the phone). Now i wish I hadn't. Will be sending my cease and desist letters in the morning. This has got to stop. If there's a class action suit filed, count me in.
