Max Recovery have bought the debt from Barclays, who are no longer in the picture. And yes, there are correct to say that your IP should have circulated proposals to debt collection companies as well as the creditors themselves, if they were aware that the accounts had been referred to collectors.
Again, your IP ought to be dealing with this, although it does take a little time for paperwork to be processed so do be a little patient and things will soon calm down.
