Welcome to MSE :wave:

I see your post has been moved from the Credit Cards Board.

No-one should be talking to you about your GF's debt. Data protection and all that. She'll need to contact them to give permission.

That means court action has been initiated, have you received a notice of claim letter ?
Its likely you will receive the court papers shortly, its very important you respond to them in a timely manor, as I believe you have a strict 14 days (I think) in which to respond to the claim.
You have to decide either to admit you owe the money, or defend it, if settled in full before hand, it wont go to court, and you can still settle after judgement within 28 days, and no CCJ will be registered.
But you must respond or a CCJ will be registered by default.
