Company out of business trying to collect a disputed debt

We received a collection notice from Hollywood video today - saying we owe over $133 because we supposedly never returned some movies. We returned them! The rentals were from April of 2009 - over a year and a half ago. Hollywood video has been out of business for over a year now, never contacted us prior, and this collection agency says there is nothing we can do to dispute it - pay it or my credit gets reported.
Is there any recourse at all?? This is completely wrong - I feel like we are being held hostage. We absolutely do NOT owe a cent on this and there is nothing we can do???
