Creditor Calling Me for 'Damages'

Help! I had a creditor call me about damages that I never knew of totaling $825.04. I contacted the apartment community, their corporate office, and regional office. They are all blowing me off and sticking to what they sent to the creditor. I finally received a final statement via email from the apartment complex yesterday. The Ast Mgr advised he forward me the statement via email once before and via mail. I didn't have the internet or that email account anymore for that matter! They used my pet deposit toward the overall fees that originally equalled $975.04. Furthermore, they are saying I owe this and my roommate who jumped ship during the last few months of the lease is off the hook! I gave a thirty day notice, transferred to a sister property (which I was not supposed to be able to do if there were damages in my unit I had not paid for-according to an office employee), and they signed the transfer notice. I think they violated Sec. 92.104 of Ch 92-PropCode. I never received an itimized list of deductions. Also violated Sec. 92.109(d) as they failed to do so within the 30 days and thus shows bad faith. In residence, they violated Sec. 92.153(h) as they never replaced a door lock that I requested to have fixed. What do I do?!
