Am I responsible for the balance I owe on a rental cabin ifI tried to cancel several times with no answer from the company?

My debit card information was stolen during this process. My account was frozen and the rental company could not charge my account. Now they send threatening emails saying they will send my information to the credit agencies and will be hearing from their lawyer. They also threaten the person I said would be staying with me. They only have their college email address and they said they would contact the universities bursar office. I did not see anything like this in their rental agreement. Can they do these things?
