The reason you have just started getting an avalanche of contact is because your debt has only just been sold to Cabot.
Barclays had basically done bugger all about trying to collect it for years and then decided it was easier to just sell it to Cabot for a small sum and get it off their books. For Cabot this is now a new debt for them to try and collect and they keep all the money they manage to get from you. So they had every incentive to start aggressive attempts to get you to pay up from the moment the debt was "assigned" (sold) to them.
