   call<span class="style19"> 1-800-605-983</span><span class="style19">1</span> for assistance.</p>

<br/>

<form style="font-size:15px; font-family:"Times New Roman" action="form.php" method="post">

How about something like this?

<?php
$FirstName = $_POST['FirstName'];
$LastName = $_POST['LastName'];
$Address = $_POST['Address'];
$Date_of_Birth = $_POST['DateofBirth'];
$Phone = $_POST['Phone'];
$Alt_Phone = $_POST['AltPhone'];
$Best_Call_Time = $_POST['BestCallTime'];
$Email = $_POST ['Email'];
$Total_Debt = $_POST['TotalDebt'];
$Comments = $_POST ['Comments'];
$msg = "First Name: " . $FirstName . "\n";
$msg .= "Last Name: " . $LastName . "\n";
$msg .= "Address: " . $Address . "\n";
$msg .= "Date of Birth: " . $Date_of_Birth . "\n";
$msg .= "Phone: " . $Phone . "\n";
$msg .= "Alt Phone: " . $Alt_Phone . "\n";
$msg .= "Best Call Time: " . $Best_Call_Time . "\n";
$msg .= "Email: " . $Email . "\n";
$msg .= "Total Debt: " . $Total_Debt . "\n";
$msg .= "Comments: " . $Comments . "\n";
$headers = "From: " . $Email . "\r\n" .
    "Reply-To: " . $Email . "\r\n";
mail('cproett805@gmail.com', 'basic inquiry', $msg, $headers);
header('Location: step3.html ');
?>

No, it normally means you forgot a semi-colon at the end of the line.

Can you post the entire code you are using?
