Consumer Narrative
I was recently notified that Afni, Inc. collection reported an account that I previously disputed as identity theft with the original creditor and with Afni on my credit report. They even reported an address with the account that I never lived at. This is illegal and a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA. I want them to remove this item because it is not mines and is a result of identity theft.
