No legal advice here. Sorry, good luck with it.....

IC, but I'd still call them first and foremost. If they haven't sold the debt yet and are just being hired to take part of the debt, then you have a chance of making the whole thing go away.
Either way, you're better off with legal representation. I'm no lawyer.
