In Missouri, can a landlord threaten collection from ex-tenant without listing how "debt" is calculated when there's no rent owed ?

My son moved out of an apartment shared with 2 others in 12/15/2012. He received a "FINAL NOTICE" today dated 2/6/2013 saying he had until end of this month to pay more than $300 he owed or else his account would be sent to collection agency and report to credit reporting company. Fact is, he paid his share of the rent timely and directly to the rental/investment company and had never heard from it before today's "final notice". The note did not even state how he incurred the debt. His roommates moved out end of 12/2012. His roommate rented the apartment 2 yrs. ago and he just stayed there for their final 4 months.
