Complaint:
When reviewing my credit report I discovered that this company " AFNI, INC " illegally re-inserted a XXXX XXXX collection account to my credit file in the amount of {$630.00}. Per FCRA requirements listed below, I am supposed to be notified within 5 days of re-inserting a previously deleted item and as of XX/XX/2018 I still haven't received the required notification. 

In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA as stated below, I am hereby requesting your complete compliance with any and all of the provisions : *FCRA 611, Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] *Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material.

*Certification of accuracy of information. If any information is deleted from a consumer 's file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ), the information may not reinserted in the file by the consumer reporting agency unless the person who furnishes the information certifies the information is complete and accurate.

*If any information that has been deleted from a consumer 's file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Additional information. As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause ( ii ), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing no later than 5 business days after the reinsertion date.

( I ) a statement that the disputed information has been reinserted ; ( II ) the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available, or of any furnisher of information that contacted the consumer reporting agency, in connection with the reinsertion of such information ; and ( III ) a notice that the consumer has the right to add a statement to the consumer 's file disputing the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information.

I received no such notification. This is a serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue further action. Your agency may avoid such action by immediately deleting this listing from my credit report.

Also, I have never done business with AFNI, INC. I don't have a signed contract nor any other type of contract with AFNI, INC. I have the right to demand to see a signed contract between myself and this company as well as validation ( not verification ) of this debt. I am requesting that this matter is investigated and the account is deleted from my credit files immediately or provide me with physical proof of a signed contract between me and AFNI, Inc and complete validation of the debt pursuant to FDCPA.

Lastly, this account was illegally re-aged once the alleged debt was placed back on my credit report.

Per Section 623 ( 5 ) ( A ) says : In general. A person who furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency regarding a delinquent account being placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action shall, not later than 90 days after furnishing the information, notify the agency of the date of delinquency on the account, which shall be the month and year of the commencement of the delinquency on the account that immediately preceded the action.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
