I got a notice from a debt collector and I disputed it. The proof they provided was a hand-written note from the doctor, and a copy of the hospital's form my wife signed (while in hard labor, mind you) agreeing to pay the hospital. But the hospital had no record of a doctor by that name and could not confirm the legitimacy of the bill. Neither could anyone at the contact address provided. It ended up going to court and it was judged to be a legitimate bill that I had to pay. That's how bad the system is.
