Sorry about the problems. These companies are all too often scams and it would have been better to contact a consumer law attorney and then negotiate directly.

As to the suit, you will need to answer the suit, come to an agreement prior to the answer date, or have the answer date extended. As for what to do against the company, that all depends on your agreement. Provide the agreement and the complaint to an attorney and make sure to file all affirmative defenses and any counterclaims. A mistake in an answer is a quick way to limit your options.
