If you did not sign as a co-signer or guarantor on the account, then there is no privity of contract for them to sue you directly.  The should be a defense to any lawsuit they bring against you.  It's possible that they are just trying to intimidate you to get you to pay them. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation.
