You do not owe the money. Send the collection agency a cease and desist letter and tell them also over the phone to stop calling you. See my web site for such a letter in sample forms. If they violate the letter after they receive it, see me or another consumer lawyer for assistance. See ConsumerLawyerHelp.com
