    Was this part of the original problem?

    Contact them and demand proof of their claim.

    Hello donna:

    I don't think you owe them anything. In the first place, you didn't get the merchandise. Second, they had an opportunity to demand that you make restitution as part of your sentence, IF they had a case. They didn't, cause they had no case. I would write them a letter telling them that. If they sue you, tell it to the judge. I think you'll win.
