<prompt> Human: The facts:1. It appears to be a legitimate medical debt.2. US Citizen3. I have received zero communication from the debt collection company that put the collection on my credit history.4. The total of the debt is 1,500.I previously had an outstanding credit score that dropped about 30 points. Is there anything I need to do besides contact them and ask for proof of the debt? It seems abnormal to not hear from them first.Is there any way to have the collection removed in the mean time?  <response>: The total of the debt is 1,500.Thats a very convenient amount.Id definitely make them verify the original amount and find out how it was calculated.Just because you had a debt, doesnt mean this is it or that its correct.
