You make a motion challenging the debt and demand they (the original creditor/vendor etc.) provide the paperwork to prove the debt. For example, a contract with your signature, a purchase order etc. They have 30 days to get the paperwork into the court. The purpose is to prevent book keeping errors and errant automatic billing programs from ruining your credit. It is not that uncommon to "carry" invalid uncollected debts for the purpose of fudging the size of your corporation's receivables and getting a larger line of credit. The credit repair guys (like the ad you posted) use this 'demand of proof' on all your debts, valid or otherwise. Often, during this sweep, several of the original debtors cannot produce the documents, they are archived or the corporate legal department is lagging and they fail to show proof in time. By law, TRW, the debt collector etc, must remove those items from your record, canceling debt collectors rights to act on your case or changing your credit score.
