The prior owners will be responsible, but the new ones may be as well depending on the sales agreement when they purchased the business. You may want to talk to an attorney who can review all the facts of your situation.
My chiropractor wants to charge me double for past services if I leave and stop payments. According to them, there is no contract on file for amount for each service. Can I tell them to cease and desist? Will they come after me for services rendered?

Courts in most states would construe such an arrangement as a gratuitous promise, unsupported by consideration, and therefore unenforceable at law. In short if you attempted to engage in litigation to recover the requested sum it is unlikely that you will be successful.
