Whats worse the original 1200 multiplied to3500 from various bullshit penilities.

if you got any advice help me the fuck out
That's surprising, as it usually costs them thousands of dollars in fees to collect such a debt, which isn't worth it.

At any rate, my advice definitely isn't "don't pay your debts," it's "make sure that if there is a dispute, you are the one with the money." That gives you all the cards in dealing with the other side. You may ultimately structure a settlement or deal (such as paying back at a discount), but you want the other side to be over a barrel.
