H&P capital

So as all of you, I also recieved a phone call today from H&P capital...I was transferred to three different people when they could not answer the questions i was asking. I was told that i need to pay 971.00 by five pm today. they advise they are a leison between webpayday and asi...whatever that means. i told them i could not pay today and acknowledged that i did ow 625.00 not 971.00 ....they said that i owe 971.00 and that i should borrow from family and friends then. i advised them i was not going to do so. she interrupted me and told me to pay a significant amount and she would try to discuss it with the webpayday to see if they would except my attempt to pay and not pursue legal actions. she provided me with money gram information and to put attention to "her" carmen field. after she said to her i was a bit confused why if i owed webpayday i would be making it attention to her. after i hung up with them i called webpayday who advised they sold my loan to this company. I dont understand what that means. I also do not understand if this is so why are they saying they are working for webpay day.

I do acknowledge that i owe money, and do wanna make right on the loan, but i dont think i should be paying this shady company (h&P capital). I did not get the threat of coming to my work probably because i work for a police department, ha...

So how do I go about paying the loan that i owe? Should i request debt validation in writing? i dont want to be pursued legally, meaning in court. please help
