They should not, yet it does happen, however your agreement is legal and the new owner would be bound by the agreement made prior to the sale of that account. The new owner however will try to force you to pay the full amount so you should be prepared to seek legal help should they continue to harrass you for the full amount. A letter from a lawyer with a copy of the negotiated agreement should suffice.

Letter to Cancel a Credit Card because of Poor Terms?

Get StartedCredit card companies periodically change the terms of your account. The changes generally take place automatically unless you do something to stop them. The "Letter to Cancel a Credit Card because of Poor Terms" allows you to notify your credit card company that you are unsatisfied with the new terms and directs the company to cancel your account. Some credit card companies will negotiate the terms. This is most likely to occur over an annual fee charge. Many credit card companies will waive the fee rather than lose your account. You may also want to cancel your account or attempt to negotiate over other changes in the terms of your account, such as an increase in the interest rate or a change in your credit limit.Be sure to check your credit card agreement for the credit card company's rights after you close the account. By law, the company can not charge an annual fee if you notify them of your intent to close your account within the time specified in the notice. If you attempt to use the card after the cancellation date, however, most credit card companies provide that such use constitutes acceptance of the new terms. If you intend to cancel the card, be sure not to later attempt to use it. If you have an outstanding balance at the time that you cancel the credit card, the credit card company may be able to charge you a different rate if it is specified in your agreement or in the notice of changed terms.
