Q: Can we do an agreement without A?
1: Person A owes our company $10,000.
But, he is not answering the phone, no email reply, no postmail reply.
We have his address, but not sure he still lives there.
2: Person B(A's relative) told us he will pay us A's debt for 10 installments.
3: We accepted it and want to do an agreement, however B also lost contact with A, and B wants us to forgive A's debt officially, because B will pay us.
Can we do the agreement without person A? (Because there is no way to reach him)
If we can, what is the process and what kind of agreement should we do?
Thank you
A:
Sure, you can do it yourself, but if you want an enforceable agreement, you should have a lawyer handle it.
Frankly, I see no point to any this and I think your just getting played. If B wants to pay, then what is stopping B? A and B are probably the same person. Even if they are different, I'm sure neither one will pay you, and I smell a trick is being played on you by both parties, possibly involving a corporate shelI game. I suggest you proceed with a small claims court case against your debtor, immediately.
