Hi Kara,
You mean to say, that your debt has been passed on to a new collection agency. A debt is not validated unless the CA provides a copy of the original contract, statements from your payment history and proof that the CA is authorized to collect the debt. If you have these documents then your debt is validated. In answer to their intent to file, you can write about a settlement offer. Most of the times the collection agencies settle for out-of-court settlement since it is a wastage of money and time. Try to negotiate with them and settle your debt. Before doing that, evaluate your financial position and calculate how much you can pay them.
Do this and tell us about your progress. _________________ All the Best
