Hi Thao, are you saying that the collection agency has added collection charges/interest on the amount? Have you asked them to validate the debt? Do they report to your credit report as well?

Well Thao, I would suggest you to send them a letter of validation via certified mail with return receipt requested.
In return the collection agency should furnish you with certain details such as your account payment history and that will help you to ascertain and evaluate the total debt amount.
Remember, as per Federal Debt Collection Practices Act if the collection agency doesn' t validate your debt, they are not entitled to collect payments.
