Just signed a lease then found bugs within a half an hour, then asked to get out of lease.  Can I break a lease just after signing it?

      In the summer of 2009 my boyfriend and I broke the lease on our apartment. We gave over 30 days notice. In our lease it was clear that if we broke the lease we would owe an extra months rent ($740) as a penalty. We moved out and waited for the bill. (They had updated addresses for both of us and phone numbers). Yet the bill never came. My boyfriend went down to the apartment office on three different occasions to try to pay but each time they told him that the billing office will send a bill. If they dont then dont worry about it. That if someone moves in right away they dont charge you. We were also told this by another landlord in town. Is this a law in oregon? We also called a couple times to check back in and ask if we still owed anything. Seven months later we go to apply for a loan for our wedding and we find out that they had sent us to collections the month after we moved out. They never sent us a bill or called us once. We went to the apartment complex office again. They told us that it must be a mistake that it was sent to collections because they dont send anything to collections for at least a year. They gave us the number for the billing office. What are our rights in this matter? Can a company send you to collections without ever billing you? The woman at the billing office basically contradicted everything the ladies at the apartment office said to us. She said it didnt matter if someone else moved in right away we still owed. She also said they sent the bill to our old apartment that we had moved out of. Which didnt make any sense to me. I am just very confused. Is there any legal way I can pursue this. I dont think what they did was right. Thank you
