Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

debt collections

got a phone call from a debt collection company. they asked me to do an out of court settlement ,told them i would have to talk to my husband first.we only have one income. they said they checked my finances and my assets.was told that if i didn't do something soon i would have to go back to court. so i gave them my husbands banking info. because i thought i would loose the land my home is on. when i told my husband what happened he closed the account. now i am getting calls from the debt collection people ,they make it sound like i did something illegal. did i? and what can they do now.
