Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

Landlord overcharging me 1k+, put it on my credit, refuses to negotiate!!

I was at an apartment a year ago under a month to month lease. The management went to a new company while I was under my month to month lease. I left while this new company was in charge. This new company & landlord now is saying I owe as if I was on their lease. However, either way I put in my 30 days notice. The letter I sent to the manager of my 30 day notice has been acknowledged by the manager and I have a copy of the acknowledgement that they sent me that day. The only lease that was signed was the original lease, which was month to month . This new management are trying to say that I owe over 3 months rent, even though I gave my 30 days notice, that they acknowledged &replied to. Also it appears as if money has been added on, taken off, then added on several times. I have SEVERAL conflicting documents sent from this new management and each paper has a different figure. I owe the people nothing. I have ALL the documents incase I need a lawyer.

Because of the landlords stalling in retuning my phone calls (2 months) they have attached this to my credit! I do not owe them ANY of this extra money. They are UNWILLING to talk at all I've been calling the landlord and management everyday for 2 months is there something i can do
