Absolutely. If a company says you owe something, and you don't believe you do, dispute it in writing to them and the Credit Reporting Agencies. However, if it was on a bill during a specific time fram, you have 60 days from that billing cycle to dispute it. But if they haven't sent you a bill and it is a collection agency, they have 30 days from the date of first contact to send you proof of that debt in writing.

It depends. I got quite an education about this myself while disputing a fraudulent medical bill that is currently in collections. I disputed the bill, asking for "verficiation". I got a computer printout with unintelligible numbers. I re-disputed the bill, asking for my signature, some kind of specific verfication that PROVED this was my debt.

Apparently, "proof" of a debt's legimacy is a matter of what has been established in the courts. Some states allow a simple computerized print-out to establish debt. Others demand proof that is more substantive.

I always find that credit reporting agencies do not involve themselves in the nature of any dispute. They "verify" whether or not your name and social security number are on the account in question. If it is...they consider it verified.

So, technically, the answer is yes. But realistically, you may have a hard time getting documented proof.

What is a geometry proof?

A geometry proof is a step-by-step explanation of the process you took to solve a problem. Instead of using numbers, you use words. There are two types of proofs: a paragraph proof, and a column proof. The column proof is the most common proof. In this proof, you must set up a t-chart. On the left side, you must write the steps you took to solve the problem. Make sure you number each step. On the right side, explain why you took this step. Make sure to number each explanation with the same number as the step on the left side you are explaining. Sources: Calculus III Student in 12th grade Took geometry in 8th grade


Is it true that Obama was not born in the U.S. and after he was elected he changed the law to read that you only had to be a citizen to be elected President?

No, that isn't true. There is documented proof that he was born in a hospital in Hawaii. Some Republicans on the extreme right have tried to make that case (Donald Trump among them), but they had to drop all accusations when the proof was produced. The law requiring that a President be born in the USA has not been changed and is still in force.
