Re: Account 4471-88-2210 — written request for validation of debt

To Midland Credit Management: I am responding to your notice dated August 12, 2026. I dispute this debt in full and request validation under 15 U.S.C. § 1692g. Specifically, I require documentation of the amount claimed, the name and address of the original creditor, and evidence of your authority to collect on this account…

Until validation is provided, you must cease collection activity on this account. Please direct all further correspondence in writing to the address above.

The full letter — five paragraphs plus your signature block — is one page, ready to print.

A medical bill in collections isn't automatically correct.

Medical billing routinely involves multiple parties — the provider, the collector, sometimes an insurer — and it's common for a balance to be re-billed, duplicated, or sent to collections before billing is fully resolved. You're entitled to ask the collector to document what they're claiming before you pay it.

PUSHBACK reads whatever your notice actually states — it doesn't assume anything about your insurance, your coverage, or what was billed beyond what's written on the page.

15 U.S.C. § 1692g
The federal right to request validation of a debt applies to medical collections the same as any other consumer debt.
