Asking a debt collector for written proof (debt validation) forces them to prove you owe the debt and that they have legal authority to collect it. Under the FDCPA, they must pause collection efforts until they send you documentation, such as the original contract, account details, and chain of ownership, or they must stop contacting you.

It’s when you know, they don’t and exactly why and how they don’t is more important

I received a Pre-legal notice for non payment of debt from Midland should I call them and ask to provide me with the proof before the due date they assign.

Does this apply to medical as well? I just asked for it and they told me they didn't have to do that and I needed to contact the hospital.
