What to do if I was on a lease with2 people who got us evictedbut I’mthe only person getting charged and the only one with something on their record?

They had their dad as a co-signer, I moved out two-three weeks after living there and moved an hour away to my girlfriends but still payed them rent every month. They got evicted which came back on me too. Apparently the complex got bought out and they said they didn’t get charged anything and everything was dropped. When I questioned the complex they raised the amount for me to over 4k and turned it in to a collection agency which has caused problems for me to get a new place and yet they just moved into a new place no problem. I don’t get what’s going on here
