Afni, Inc. Bogus collections notice for AT&T Bloomington, Illinois

23rd of Apr, 2011 by User775968

I was sent a collections notice on behalf of AT&T from Afni, Inc debt collectors. This is one of those fire at everyone, maybe someone will respond scams I have heard about. I don't have an account with AT&T and my bills are always up to date. There is no information regarding what this debt pertains too, other than its from AT&T. There is also a line that states: "Unless you notify this office within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, this office will assume this debt is valid." My opinion on this matter:
Now suppose I was out of the country, or if I were stationed over seas in the military and didn't get back in time to respond? This is outright predatory debt collecting. These people should be prosecuted and imprisoned and sued for every dime they own including the belongings said owners have accrued while performing such horrendous business practices. Class action lawsuit anyone? My actions:
I am responding with a letter, registered with return receipt disputing their claim and will ask for more information regarding this debt and all correspondence be handled via US Postal. If they respond I will send them an additional letter referring them to my attorney for any further communications. I am also thinking of sending them a bill for wasting my time, pro rated @ my consultant rate.
