Mr. Bulson,

I'm sorry, but this does sound legal. If you want to not pay the collection agency, they can't make you. I believe they will not sue over $80 (filing in court is more expensive). I would tell them to take a long leap off a short pier and leave you alone. Tell them "bye now" and don't take their calls anymore. If you get sued over $80, I will be the first one to defend you.

Kind regards,

Sarah
