Thankyou for your response.

The business was set up as a corporation.

Michael,

Thank you for your response, although I do need some more clarification. First, if a person cannot be held liable for a corporation's debt and you stated that they only way to recover from this is to have him sign a letter stating that he accepts all liabilty for any and all debt that has accrued. How am I held liable?

I understand that I signed for this service/bill when I was with the company on March 28th, 2008. However, since then I left the company as of July 2008. Since then all bills have gone to my ex-business partner and he was paying them up until August 2008 (even though only one month).

This collection notice was the first I have received, dated for October 16th, 2009. All previous bills were sent to my ex-business partner and any other collection notices (if any). Up until this collection notice, I have not received bills, previous collection notices or any other communication. The collection notice states that they contacted me several weeks ago, but I was never contacted.

How is it that since all the bills and any previous collection notices (again if any) have been going to him, why are they contacting me now?

On a separate note, if I send him a certified letter stating that he needs to be held liable for this debt along with any other debt associated with this company and that I am now and have been since July 2008, no longer a partner with this company. What happens if he doesn't sign or disregards the certified letter. What could be my next actions? Any other suggestion besides the certified letter?

Sincerely,

Jordon
