Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana

Law office Jacob, Hammerle & Johnson, LLC had contacted my wife in regards of a medical bill. They were calling her, myself as well as family members trying to resolve. On July 14, 2015 She sent a certified letter to the collection lawyer asking for proof of the debt, included in the letter she was asking for a cease of all efforts at collection until they have provided proper validation of the debt.
