You left out the one important fact. What did you do to close your account and what proof do you have?
It will depend on the terms of the purchase agreement, but it is most likely that the buyer will ultimately be responsible for the costs. However, to protect yourself, I would recommend paying the balance and then pursuing compensation from the buyer.
