    Here are your main options as we see them.

    1. You could pay the alleged creditor and thus make the whole matter disappear.

    2. You could refuse to pay the alleged creditor and advise the collection agency that you dispute the charge. Thereafter, and depending upon the rules governing collection agencies in your jurisdiction, the collection agency should cease calls to you and seek further instructions from its client (ie. Taking you to court).

    3. You could wait to see if the alleged creditor sues you within the limitation period in your jurisdiction and respond accordingly.

    4. You could sue the alleged creditor now if the payment you made exceeds the services you received or if the creditor's breach of contract otherwise caused you damages.

    5. You could complain to your local Better Business Bureau or any applicable licensing authority and see if they can mediate a resolution.
