If you have collection agencies calling you it is likely that they have not made a judgement against you yet, which is good. But it is only a matter of time and they can sue you and put liens against you and harm your credit. It is sometimes a complicated issue so you should call a company that specializes in debt management. The company we used to deal with them has a toll free number and can help you. Here it is. Good luck! 888-894-3275.
