Afni, Inc. Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt was paid Illinois

I returned and paid all - - satellite services equipment as they advised me if I do n't want to be billed for their equipment it must be returned. They shipped me free boxes and labels to return their equipment and told me as soon as I returned it they would send an email once they received it. After they received it I got - emails stating the equipment was returned -, and - -. It is now - I received a bill stating that I owe them $960.00. I told them I have n't had an account since end of -. They ignored my letter I wrote them, now as of - - I got a new collection debt on my report from AFNI which they bought this debt from -. I told AFNI that this was not my debt I do n't have services with - anymore since -. Why is this now illegally on my credit report as I do n't owe anything, they were paid for services that I had and billed me for $500.00 of equipment but stated upon received they will remove it. As of today I am obviously being billed - for something that is not mine as I do n't have any account with them anymore. Why would - years later something falsely like this appear on my credit report.
