I have received a notice from a collection agency on a medical bill from about two years ago. I do not dispute I owe it but I do think the amount is about $20 than the last statement I received from the doctor. I have looked at some of the sample debt verification letters but they seem pretty "tough" for lack of a better wordin that I am not disputing that I do owe it but I want to verify the amount. Does anyone have a sample of a letter to ask them to verify the amount? Is this the appropriate letter to send? I have until August 1 to reply. Thanks.

You usually have 30 days from the date of the letter you receive to contest a debt. All you need do is write them a letter asking for verification of the debt and the name of the orginial creditor. It is usually best to send it return receipt requested.

Easiest way would be to call the doctor to verify the placement. The additional $20 is more than likely for late fees.
