I'd also like to add ...

This link might help! For these AFNI pigs ... and any other bogus (read that scamming illegal) debt collector that calls:

http://www.stopdebtcollectorsharassment.com/AFNI.html

LET'S ALL NAIL THESE PIGS!!!! STOP THEIR CALLING!!! GET SOME COMPENSATION as well as relief from these calls!!! And do the same for any others that call, harass and threaten you ILLEGALLY!!! LET'S SHOVE THEIR CRIMINAL BS RIGHT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE ON EACH OF THESE HUMAN REJECTS!!!

These a**holes have started calling me now! Twice - 6:12 PM March 27 and today at 2:21 PM!!!!

Makes you wonder if they ever heard (and understood) the saying "squuezing blood from a turnip" ... trying to intimaidate and threaten innocent folk into paying off either an age old debt where the SOL has expired (or the debt was actually paid off long ago) or that have no debts and owe nobody!!! Filthy sub-human leeches is what these pigs are! Nothing more!!! Not even legit debt collectors at that!!! These like NCO, Leading Edge and others of their ilk are of the illegal/scamming variety and should be avoided at all costs when it comes to doing anything with them ... except report them! Already have representation (legal/attorneys) that specialize in this type of FDCPA and FCRA violators!!!

Speaking for myself... I have no debt at all do not owe anybody.  Yet, I am recording each call from every damn single one of these illegal operators so I can report them, have my attorney's pursue them and nail them and I, not these sick scum, will receive a nice compensation!!!

Like a post above says people:

"CONSUMERS ARE WARNED NOT TO FALL FOR THEIR SCAM OF ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT ON TIME BARRED DEBTS FROM VERIZON/GTE ACCOUNTS THAT DATE BACK TO THE EARLY 90'S. AFNI CANNOT SUE ON THESE DEBTS, THEY CANNOT REPORT THEM ON YOUR CREDIT FILES. AFNI IS HURTING FOR COLLECTION ACCOUNTS & PAID PENNIES FOR THIS WORTHLESS PORTFOLIO, HOPING TO CASH IN. THIS IS A SCAM -- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ON THESE OLD, OUTDATED ACCOUNTS!"

Everyone, pay close attention here!!!

These piece of useless trash want what no one owes them ... your $$$$!!! Don't believe their BS!!!

MY MESSAGE BEFORE LEFT OUT ONE LITTLE WORD AND I SHOULD HAVE SAID TO PUNCH ONE IF YOU ARE NOT THIS PERSON. COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE VOICE ON THE OTHER END AS THEY COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. GET CALLS CONSTANTLY FROM THIS NO.

KEEP CALLING HERE FOR SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T LIVE HERE. sAYS TO PUNCH 1 IF YOU ARE THIS PERSON SO I PUNCH 1 AND HANG UP. I AM 80 YRS OLD AND THEY CONTINUE TO CALL.
HOW CAN I STOP THIS HARASSMENT. WE HAVE BLOCKED NUMBERS BEFORE AND GOING TO AGAIN.

received call but did not answer - then called back to the 800 number nad they where very rude - wanted personal info but would not disclose who they are then hung up on me. Be very carefull

ya same old stuff owe nobody yet they get your # and interrupt lunch,dinner,or something important to us. Hell I've never had any sat. service or cell phone so know not me..

I received 3 calls within a half hour at home today and 2 on my cell phone.  How did they get the cell number?  Its a family plan not even in my name.  They have never mailed me anything and when I have answered, I get the same automated loop

These a**les keep calling my house all hours of the day and when I answer I get a recording to press 1 if I am this person. I press 1 to find out who they are and it  puts me in a loop of hearing the same recording over and over. You cannot get to a human. I will be sending a do not call letter tomorrow now that I have the address.

Lots of prank calls from this number.  Hangups kids laughing dog barking.  Is you refrigerator running etc

I didn't answer my phone when this number showed up. The number looked suspicious so I googled it and here I am.

keep receiving calls from affne - automated and unintelligible people.  they will not send anything in writing proving that any debt is owed. if they are legit, why not send written proof. if anyone has an address for this company to send cease and desist letter, please post. Thanks!!

They called any caller Id on my phone showed TOLLFREE NUMBER 800-598-9349.  I did not answer this call and trying to find who they are, I called on another phone line and they said they were trying to collect on a debt and never said what debt.  Who are they trying to collect for?  I never gave out information to them, they just just said they are trying to collect on some sort of debt I have no idea what they are talking about.

Garble message left. Affne Debt Collector. He said for me and only me to listen to the message, then said they were attempting to collect a debt. And to call 800-598-9349. Oh yea, Thank you and have a nice day was said. BEWARE! I am not calling this number back. He sounded intoxicated.

A woman called and asked for my husband. She called on my cell phone.  Then they said they were trying to collect for a bill from Direct TV.  We had cancelled Direct TV over 2 years ago. Then she wanted to know our address, which I didn't give and she gave me an address for a residence we had never lived at.  She tried to get other information and I told her I didn't know her from Adam and she would have to contact me by letter and we would dispute the charge. It seems to me she should have known our home address and home phone number.  It has been over a week now and we haven't heard anything.

caller left voicemail but was unclear
