AllianceOne Recievables Management Debt Collection Complaint

AllianceOne Recievables Management Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount Washington

I lost my Wife to -. in 2007 after 3 years of caregiving at home. During the time she was sick I let some debts to the city that were on a on a payment plan go unpaid as all funds went to medical/ caregiving. I left my home - after 1 year bereavement and went off to find myself. I am back in my home - now after 8 years, remarried, and trying to clean up my credit and debts from my past. The existing balance of $3900.00 to the City/County went to collections, then to court where a Judge awarded the collection agency - that amount???. I have been in contact with the collection agency trying very hard to mediate a reasonable resolution and to square up with them as this balance has frozen my ability to obtain a State Drivers Licence. Under the circumstances surounding this debt can I challenge or petition the courts to reduce the amazingly ridiculous penalties and interest? HELP! : )
