Worried about having given my info. Please Help

I currently have an AMEX account that is now in collections with United Recovery System. I had answered the call by accident at my office and spoke with the Rep (who was actually decent to talk to as he was not rude) anyhow he said that I was in collections so he in fact had 3 way called AMEX to set up at least a payment to bring me somewhat up to date.
I made the online posted date for debit next Fri Dec 30. But the rest of the payments were to be made to URS for the next 24 months. I ended up giving the guy my checking acct number (i know freaking stupid of me) however now I have read all these bad reviews about this company. Is there anyway I can call them back and have them withdrawl my payment plan or should I just call my bank and tell them about URS and to not have payments withdrawn and get an entirely new bank account number issued.
I feel real foolish for falling for this as this is my first time in collections. What is the best remedy in this?

You had committed a mistake. You should have asked them to valid
You had committed a mistake. You should have asked them to validate the debt in writing. They are less likely to withdraw the payment plan now. Find out if the account is really with them. Figure out how much you owe. You may close the account and open a new one if required.
