    Oh, he knows whether or not he owes the debt. The point is, debts get traded between debt collection agencies and sometimes they can lose the paperwork. So then when you challenge them to show proof they can’t find any and can’t keep chasing you. If they do have proof then you aren’t really any worse off.

    Again, not something that will work in this guy’s case, but it’s not an insane thing to attempt.

      That doesn’t seem to be the case here as it’s debt to the state. They generally don’t sell debt.
