Complaint What Happened XXXX tried/is trying to collect money from me for termination of their cable television service. However, I did not have any contract with XXXX, written or verbal, to pay them for termination of their services. They have the burden of proof. I know that they can not produce any written or verbal contract with me to pay any termination fees. Damaging my credit is simply a means of extortion. Neither XXXX nor their agents should be able to get away with this. Please expunge their claim from my credit rating.

Complaint What Happened I have received a second debt collection letter from a second collection agency for an outstanding bill from XXXX. I have never had any service or product from XXXX, and XXXX has never provided service in my state of residence. The latest collection letter from Afni , Inc. is dated XX/XX/2018 for an unpaid bill of {$850.00}, offering a settlement amount of {$550.00}, and also threatening to report this debt to credit bureaus, if not paid in full. I have called Afni, today XX/XX/2018 to inform them that I do not owe money to XXXX, and have never had any type of interaction or service with this company. In speaking with a representative, I was told that the original bill was incurred at an address in Florida, a state of which I have never resided or visited. My main concern is that this is the second collection letter, which I have received for a bill with XXXX, and wanting for these letters to cease. I am a senior citizen, and believe that I am being targeted with these types of letters demanding money, and with threats of having my information sent to credit bureau agencies, which will further ruin my credit. I plan on sending a letter to XXXX to insist that, they discontinue using my name and current addresses as a tool to collect unpaid debts.

Complaint What Happened In my last letter dated XX/XX/18 I mailed proof that the debt was written off by the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) but never received a response about this claim from the creditor. However, the creditor is still attempting to collect, which is in violation of the FDCPA. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ( FDCPA ), a creditor is supposed to response and no attempt to collect until they have responded. They did not even read my letter and only sent a form collection letter in return!! Unacceptable!! I am attaching all correspondence below.

Complaint What Happened This company Contacted me by letter on XX/XX/XXXX and I have no knowledge to this account whatsoever. I called the company the very same day XX/XX/XXXX and told them that this was not mine. This company also called me today on XX/XX/XXXX and Told me if I did not pay the amount of {$1700.00} that they would contact Immigration services and have me deported. This is so wrong on so many levels because I am a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Complaint What Happened I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to verify if my account was closed and paid in full. Can not remember if I made a final payment at that time or before. I spoke to supervising agent ID # XXXX whom verified that my account was closed and paid in full. XXXX has since added additional charges, turned me into collections and continues to try and collect moneys not allowed to them. Since they continue to attempt to collect charges not owed, I would like to make you aware that since I upgraded with sprint in XXXX, they continually over charged me on a monthly bases. I have two specific, on line conversations with XXXX representatives that concur with my beliefs. Please allow a corporate lawyer to contact me if they believe I have a case case against this company. Thank You, XXXX XXXX

Complaint What Happened In XXXX of XXXX XXXX ported my numbers over to XXXX for better service in our contract area. I left XXXX. In order for XXXX to allow this I had to pay my bill in full and finish paying off 2 phones, which I did to the tune of about {$1400.00}. XXXX promised me {$1500.00} in rebates which I never received ( another dispute ). In XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX saying I still owed {$170.00}. I disputed it explaining that I would not have been able to port numbers to XXXX if I had a balance. We argued, I hung up on him. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I got a call from AFNI Collections stating that they were trying to collect a debt from XXXX. I politely explained the situation. He was very rude and condescending, we had a heated conversation at which point I hung up on him. That very day I received an email from my credit monitoring company that my credit had been dinged XXXX points. I called AFNI and demanded to know how 1 if theyre employees could possess the power to do that to someone when I clearly had disputed it. She said she would look into it and contact me back. They never called back but on XX/XX/XXXX the collection was removed and my score increased by XXXX points. At the time I was trying to purchase a vehicle and I was furious that they had been able to do that. I contacted a lawyer who said he could send them a demand letter for {$1000.00} for damages. I disagreed with that amount so never pursued it. Well now you can see by attached documentation that the debt has been sold to another collector and with out notice, proof or cause, they have place a derogatory mark on my credit causing my score to drop again and affecting my ability to get a good rate on a car for my daughter. I intend now to pursue it to full extent possible. This has to stop. These agencies should not possess such power!
