How do you handle hospital bills that are sent six months plus later then to collections? Do you pay the hospital or deal with collections?

ask for proof of ownership from the debt collectors.

I agree with this. If it turns out you really do owe the money and you have a little money offer to settle if they’ll give you something saying the amount settles the debt in full. If they don’t have proof you owe the money, I would ignore them.
