If you've received a letter from the Navy indicating that you owe $20,000, you should first carefully review the letter to determine what the basis for the debt is. If you are unsure or confused about the details in the letter, you may wish to contact the Navy's Debt Management Center (DMC) at 1-***-***-**** to obtain more information. Once you understand the nature of the debt, you may wish to consult with a lawyer who specializes in military law or debt resolution to determine your options for challenging the debt. You may also want to contact your former commanding officer or the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) office for guidance on how to proceed. It's important to act quickly because there may be deadlines for disputing the debt or requesting a waiver or payment plan.
