Apartments Suck!

Friends,
I was living in an apertment for three years and now I moved. We had paid a deposit of $250.00. While leaving we tried our best to clean the apartment. While we were expecting a deposit return, we had a bill with $190.00 dues instead. They charged us for carpet replacement and cleaning of apt of $440.00.

The question is, the letter says if we do not pay in ten days they will take legal actions and report to collections and credit bureau. What should I do in this case? I am not willing to pay that $190.00. I lived in that apartment for 3 years and what do they expect the apartment to be? What steps should I take now? Will it be difficult for me to rent an apartment in the future if I do not pay them? Will it affect my credit history? Has anybody went through similar situation?

Please suggest!
Thank you and you all have a blessed night!!
