Here is a good way to deal with these Hitler Youth rejects and their disreputable tactics; First, never mind the number on your caller ID, it?s virtually always a fake and strictly one-way.  But the call-back number on the voice-mail has to be real, otherwise they could never scam a dime out of anyone.  Also, if you know for sure which collection company it is, visit their website and if the e-mail address under ?Contact Us? doesn?t readily suggest a debt collector use that also.  Write a realistic-sounding too-good-to-pass-up add for anything appealing to as wide a range of people as possible using their contact info. - then post it on Craig?s List! The ruinous overload of calls and E-Mails will soon cause their networks to crash and with these vermin, down-time is money down the drain.  The vast majority of collectiods took the short bus to school and are therefore notoriously slow learners, but this method will likely get the point across.  
  As for Afni Inc. they have been around for a long time, but may be on their way out. It is no accident that these scumbags deal almost exclusively in worthless, expired ?Junk Debt? these days. Over the last decade or so, their business  practices have degenerated to the point where very few ?Contingency? clients will sully their reputations by dealing with them at all and even Verizon may pull the plug unless they clean up their act.  Keep it up, Afni, the F.T.C. is watching and we could all do with one less snake pit like yours!

Yep. I have seen a lot of posts where people are being harasssed by these folks for time-barred Verizon and GE accounts:

Per Bud Hibbs:

CONSUMER ALERT: Feb. 2007

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 THIS IS A SCAM -- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ON THESE OLD, OUTDATED ACCOUNTS!

FAX A LETTER TO AFNI AT

(309)-828-0931

STATING: I REFUSE TO PAY THIS DEBT! (Get a receipt it was received)

This used to be a decent operation with a good name and reputation? not anymore. They have slithered down to the lowest point a bottom feeder can stoop to, collecting on old, worthless, out of statute accounts, especially on a VERY old Verizon Wireless portfolio. Our friends at Rip Off Report www.ripoffreport.com have been inundated with complaints about these sleazy vultures, take a look at:

http://ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1=ALL&q4 ... i&Search=Search

We have ben aware of the fact that junks debt buyers are running out of paper as the market has far too many collectors looking to make a fast buck at the expense of unsophisticated consumers, however collecting on 1994-1995 debts is a sign that AFNI and it?s debt collecting owners may be somewhat desperate to keep their ship afloat? Are things that bad at AFNI that collectors are harassing and threatening consumers over debts that are more than ten years old?  

I will not be surprised when I learn that AFNI is changing dates of last activity on credit reports, such is the scam of these bottom feeders. They do this to inflate the net worth of their portfolios, so they can borrow more money to buy junk debts. These are the lowest of the low life?s, which collect debts.

Many other bottom feeders such as NCO, Portfolio Recovery Associates, Asset Acceptance Corp. and almost anyone with a Buffalo, NY area address are out there collecting on VERY old debts. Their argument is they purchased the accounts and have a right to collect. My argument is they paid pennies for them and are gambling consumers can be intimidated, threatened and in some cases monies extorted on false threats of legal actions and/or credit reporting. Consumers are urged o demand validation of all debts from a bottom feeder because the majority of them have nothing to back up their claims.

2007 looks to offer a lot of surprises in the collection industry. AFNI is giving themselves and Verizon a bad name by collecting and threatening on these old, worthless debts. Consumers are urged to NEVER pay them a cent until/unless they can validate them legally. These parasites are preying on old, dead carcasses to earn a living, make them spend a LOT of money in the validation process.

If you are being harassed, intimidated or threatened by AFNI, we urge you to contact us. Record their collector calls (where legal) as a good tape can put money in your pocket. Contact me for assistance and referral to a local consumer law professional. If you suspect information on your credit reports by AFNI is bogus, talk with an attorney with; www.myfaircredit.com who can offer you assistance
