As Mike said, they are saying they will sue you under the unfair trade practices and consumer protection law since you failed to follow the state security deposit laws of PA.
If this happens, you are barred from any counter claim and from seeking any damages because you did not follow the law. You will have to hire an attorney to defend you which will be more money going out. You should settle this with the ex tenants and learn the correct procedures in handling security deposits as this might not be the only stupid thing you may have done. Ignorance is no excuse under the law, the judge expects the landlord to know them.
