Re: Validation of Credit Card Debt

There is no simple answer as to how much proof it takes to win a collections case. The plaintiff must present enough evidence that the debt exists to form what is called a prima facie case. Then the defendant gets a turn to present its proof. In the end, whoever is more convincing wins.
