Actually, you CAN NOT GUARANTEE any debt is valid. JL Teamworks is taking the information they get at face value and do not know the validity of any bill. I have received calls from them trying to collect a debt that I do not owe. After some time and considerable headache on my part they finally stopped calling.
My advise is to send them a certified return receipt letter demanding proof you owe the bill within 30 days. Include in the note that just saying so does not make it so and that you want to see copies of the original bills. If they fail to provide you with such proof then tell them to cease and desist all collections and file a complaint with the FTC (they have a handy form on their website). Failing that, take their incompetent behinds to court.
Should they provide proof and it's legit, then pay up or make arrangements. It's their responsibility to prove to you that you owe any debt and should not be harassing anyone. Likewise, if it's your debt, it's your debt.

Thank you Wrangler for the advice. I paid my bill in full a few months ago. And, when I called them recently why they still keep sending me invoices and harrasing me about it, they kept telling me that it has not been paid and the bill will collect interest which I would be responsible for as well. I told them my bank records show that the payment/check was cashed 2 months ago. Yet, they wanted proof of payment. I don't think they keep track of their records properly.
