Afni
Reviews and Complaints

Recieved a collection notice for this FRAUD SCAM company which stated that I owed $2000 to T-Mobile, and would like to offer me 50% off for the settlement. Ok, the point is I `ve been use ATT as my cellphone carrier for 6, 7 years, , noting could be relate to T-Mobile, so I called AFNI, the guy was so rude and uncaring to help me to find out whats going on on my case, all he said is I opened a 10-lines account with T-Mobile on year 08/09, haha, this is so ridiculous, then I called T-Mobile, cuz I dont have T-Mobile account, so I gave the service lady my SSN, and she didnt pull out any infomation under either my name or my SSN, and she guided me to call their fraudulent service, and I called and filed. This company AFNI is totally fraud, scam and fake, I have no idea why Government would allow this company open in U.S.

I am getting harssing letter from some sort of collection agency call Afni inc.for a verzon bill for several amount for a phone bill that suppose tobe created in 2007.I have no ideal what these bills are for or anything about them until now. I call the company who sent them to question about these bills, the service rep that i talk to was very rude and wouldn't let me ask question concerning these charges and the only thing the rep would say what kind of arrangement did I want to make to pay these charges. My thing is if I owed a bill in 2007 why wasn't I notified sooner.I have gotten a lawyer and has started legal action against this company.

AFNI IS SENDING BOGUS COLLECTION LETTERS TO PEOPLE! THEY ARE TRYING TO COLLECT FOR FALSE PHONE NUMBERS AND PUTTING VERIZON AS THE VENDOR! THIS IS RUINING CREDIT FOR THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS AND RUINING VERIZON'S REP. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM AND THIS MUST BE STOPPED AT ONCE! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS THAT THIS IS GONING ON! THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AT ONCE FOR FALSIFYING RECORDS AND HURTING HARD WORKING PEOPLE! WE WILL BE TAKING THIS TO COURT! EVERYONE THAT HAS RECEIVED ONE OF THESE BOGUS LETTERS SHOULD WRITE THE GOVERNMENT AT ONCE!

I got a collection notice in the mail from Afni, for a tmobile bill I paid over 6+ years ago. They can't give me any information on where the bill has been for the last 6 years and my ex and I paid if after going our separate ways in late 2017. If this company calls you give them no information they don't already have and verify nothing with them, that's how they get you! Someone needs to do something about this company and the companies that sell them this bogus information. They are selling old customer information to afni and afni is banking you you caring enough about your credit that you will just pay it.

This is not the first time I have gotten a notice like this. I have already had one about a month ago and just paid it even though I did at the time wonder how I would have owed Dish Network any past due amount, esp. when I am a current customer with them. Now I got another notice saying I owe $234.75 and they are settling on a payment of $50 to resolve the matter, this time stating I owe Quest. I know this is a scam now. Too bad I didn't realize it before I sent my other $50 to them a month ago.

On Feb 4, 2011 I called AFNI INC. to inquire about some collection notice for $265.31. After waiting 26mins I finally got a rep who was sooo rude to me after I declined giving my SS info anything about me. I then called later that afternoon and spoke to ANDY who again after telling him I was not giving up any info was RUDE and told me that "if I do not resolve this matter it will show up on my credit report" WTF.. I then asked to have the number to this Verizon IONC who claims I owe them, he said they don't have the numbers to the companies that hire them for their services...What a CROCK ..I asked for a suprv who also confirmed they have no number and that VERIZON NEW YORK INC IS JUST VERIZON ...folks that is a LIE ...don't give them any info about yourself and request to be removed off the mailer...Deidra B

i had an old account with cingular wireless that i owed for ..i know i owed the money and i received a settlement letter from AFNI to settle the debt for 100.00 i immediately sent a money order for the amount and it was cashed 12/2009 . it is still on my credit report and i continue to get the same settlement letters in the mail. the last letter went to my mothers home . she decided to try to pay it for me as well not knowing i took care of it and it still is not showing paid and anothe rletter was recieved in the mail today.. i have disputed this through experian and also through AFNI but am still getting no help ..experian said it was not paid but i have proof and afni will not contact me back ..i dont know how to get this off of my credit report

I continue to receive collection notices and settlement offer letters from Afni, Inc. for an unpaid bill to Verizon New York Inc. I've never lived or visited New York and have certainly never bought a cell phone from them. I've called Afni and the SSN they have on file is not mine so they obviously have the wrong person, yet they continue to harrass me.

I received a letter from this company stating I owed for a bill from Direct TV. I contacted the company and the lady Ginger awnsered stating that it was from 2004 and it was debt that was over 6 years old. I do not owe any bills to Direct TV and this letter was the first I heard about this. I believe this company is running a scam. I am sending a letter to dispute this. Beware of these types of scams.

look at that! the Saints they want to be are offering me a "SETTLEMENT OFFER", why, half off!, on a Qwest bill from lessee, a good 5+ years ago.
Now, I was on hard times back then, and might have let a bill slide longer than I should have... but wait, I was serially monogamous with Qwest with at least 2 newer numbers since that and sure as poop settled right wifda ducats, they don't let you have a new one if you've got debt flying, no?!
so, I called the tollfree, and boy were they waiting to get the last 4 of the soc'. smellin' ill, tried to talk to an operator, failed miserably, and eventually hung up waiting.
tried the website, and boy they want those soc' digits fast!

that's my story, they know where I live, a phone number I had 5+ years ago, but they haven't pried the last four digits loose! nice try, thanks for keeping me on my toes.

I read many complaints about this Afni Collection. Like most of the complaints posted, they said I owe T-mobile $297.89 but they will settle for $100. They want me to send the check to them. They even don't have a T-mobile account (if I DO OWE T-mobile). I did not call their number but I called T-Mobile instead. T-mobile check their record and stated that I DO NOT have any balance or OWE anything.
Please beware of this kind of scam and harrassment.
I will report them to the US Post office.

I received this notice from AFNI Collections, stating that they "acquired" this account for collections. This notice is saying that I owe nearly $100! I cancelled my QWEST account a year ago, and I paid my final balance to them! I have never received a call or letter from QWEST saying that I still had a balance owed. They do have my correct phone number, but that is easy enough to find since I have had that same number for many years (with QWEST). This is so infuriating, because I the letter looks very real and threatening.

I was sent a collection notice for settlement from Afni inc. for 50.00. The original debt was 470.00 from a account that was never in my name. I personally got a hold of charter and the debt was taken out of my name. The only reason I am writing this is due to the fact that they sent me the settlement offer after the fact. So where would have my money gone?

I HAD A ACCOUNT WITH TMOBILE, BACK IN 2004. I ENDED UP WITH A BILL FOR 387.56.. OK NOW AFNI COLLECTION AGN. BROUGHT MY ACCOUNT FROM TMOBILE. SO ON [protected] I PAID THE SETTLEMENT OFFER OF 100.00. ON MY BANK ACCOUT IT SHOWED 100.00 WITHDRAWAL FROM AFNI, BUT THE AMOUNT 2 DAY'S LATER WAS NOT POSTED TO THE SFNI ACCOUNT! SO I CALLED THE AGENCY (AFNI) AND ASKED THEM WHY IT WASNT SHOWING. OMG THE LADY WAS LIKE FIGHTING WITH ME! TELLING ME THAT MY DEBIT CARD WAS DECLINED! THE STATEMENT SHOWED THEY RECIVED THE MONEY! SO IM TELLING THE LADY TO GIVE ME THE ADDRESS TO SEND THE STATEMENT OR LET ME TALK TO A SUPERVISOR TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. SHE WAS TELLING ME THAT SHE WAS GONNA TELL ME THE SAME THING! SO I TOLD HER THAT WAS FINE! SO SHE (AS EXPECTED)! KEPT ME ON HOLD FOR BOUT 5-6 MINS. BEFORE SHE COMES & TELLS ME TO MAIL THE STATEMENT TO THERE ADDRESS & IF THE INFO IS CORRECT THEN THEY WILL FIX IT! THIS COMPANY IS REALLY TRYNA BURN PEOPLE! SO W THIS COMPANY DEFF GO THREW THE ORIGINAL LENDER CAUSE IF NOT THEY WILL BURN YOU!

Afni collections sent me a settlement letter for $50 on an old Cingular bill dating back to 2002, and i authorized them to get $50 dollars from my account. They took $75 dollars of which i did not authorize and gave me the run around on giving me my money back stating they had no record of their company taking $75 dollars from my account and could not see where they took the $75 dollars from my account and i needed to prove it to them. They wanted me to fax them my bank records before they would issue me a refund. Then stated that if a refund was to be issued it would take a month in a half to refund me, when it took them less that 3 days to take the money from my account. pklease anyone dealing with Afni do not give them your credit card number or debit card number.

I checked my credit report today and I had a collection from AFNI! I never received a notice in the mail or anything at all. They are trying to say they are collecting a debt for Verizon Incorporated. I've had a Verizon Wireless account and I closed it and the account was current. The date they are giving is 10/14/2009! My account was active at that time and it was also current! I called TransUnion because that is the credit bureau who posted this collection and it has had a negative affect on my credit score! I'm angry about it! I filed a dispute and I also reported it as a fraudulent collection. Now I have to figure out the next step to take to have this removed from my credit report! This is ridiculous! I called Verizon twice and both times I was told they have no collections against me. I'm in the process of buying a house and this has caused a huge problem for me. I can't believe this company is getting away with this! I called AFNI, but it was after hours so, I have to call back tomorrow! This is a crock of bull! I don't know what to do to fix my credit now, but I will not pay them anything!
