Afni, Inc. Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine California

I requested - to provide my home with TV service. The package I requested was not available in my service area. I immediately requested cancellation. They said that I was legally obligated to a 1 year contract. I never signed a contract. They said that I would also have to pay for the equipment they provided if I did not return it to them at my expense. I placed the equipment in their original boxes on my porch and informed - that they could pick it up any time. They declined. - then turned my credit information over to a collection agency who placed a collection on my credit bureau. I contacted both - and AFNI Inc. regarding this report on my credit informing both agencies that I dispute this debt. They have refused to remove it from my credit report which has dropped from an - FICO score to a -. If they would like to attempt to obtain a civil judgment to collect this debt, I would welcome my day in court. Until that day, I have requested that they remove this stain from my otherwise perfect credit bureau and stop their harassment as they attempt to collect money for a service which they could not deliver and equipment which they were unwilling to come and retrieve.
