Hello, I worked in IBM January 10 2011 and left on October 2011. I received a sign on bonus and according to the contract I signed, I have to give back the bonus if I leave employment before completing one year which I have.

After I left I contacted HR and asked how can I start paying my bonus back and if I can make monthly payments . They said not to pay anything now and wait for us to contact you by sending a monthly bill sometime in December 2011. Few days ago, I received a collection letter asking for the money. IS this legal? I am worried about my credit report. Can i fight this back? can I offer a less sum in cash to settle? Appreciate your help.
