Hi,
I got my first apartment at 18, living with my girlfriend at the time as well as a roommate. We ended up getting evicted and none of us have talked to each other since. We now owe a good chunk of change to a collection agency who is now harassing me for the money even though I should only be responsible for a third of the debt.
I called them and tried to be setup for payment of only a third originally and they would not allow that. Is there anything I can do or say to get them to settle for a third or at least closer to a third than over half? Should I be prepared to get a lawyer, or is there really any other option for me here?
