Help on how to deal with questionable account on credit reports?

I have been dealing (or actually attempting to deal with this) on my own for several months now with absolutely no luck. My problem is a collection account that is being reported on my credit report with all three agencies. The credit reporting company is AFNI and they are collecting a Verizon account. On my Transunion and Experian reports it is listed as a collection account with a date open of 12/06. On my Equifax report it is listed with a date open of 1/01.

The 2006 date is clearly wrong as I have not had a Verizon account of any kind since I moved from Pennsylvania in November of 2004.

I wrote to the AFNI on December 13th and they received and signed for my certified letter on December 17th. I have not received any response from them.

Any advice you can give me on how to deal with this matter would be appreciated.
I am sorry I was not clear – I absolutely dispute that I owe it.

You need to dispute this listing with the credit bureaus, and send AFNI a demand to validate letter. This needs to be done at the same time and certified return receipt mail.

Here is a flow chart that shows the process you need to go through.
