This is a state law agency question, not really a bankruptcy question. However, it appears, from the facts you laid out that the operations manager likely was the owner's agent and therefore authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the business. For a better answer, however, you should... View More

Based on these facts you may have a valid lawsuit against them. Consult with collection defense attorneys.
You may want to review the court file to see how they claim you were served and file a motion to set aside the judgment.

The title company's job is to clear your title prior to the conveyance. If there is no judgment lien prior to closing, it may not get paid and released. Then the creditor would probably try to collect from your bank.

Basically, yes, yes, yes, however a person who represents himself might also be considered a fool.

not know about the lien but since the contractor did not pay the company they issued a lien. It's been 10 yrs can I have the lien removed?
answered on Jan 4, 2022
if you have a copy of the lien, then you should contact a construction lawyer or perhaps a collections or real estate lawyer and find out how long that lien is valid. Once you are aware of that, then you can decide how to proceed.
answered on Oct 22, 2021
You should contact a lawyer and provide more information to the lawyer, such as what type tickets, the status of the tickets, where and who issued the tickets, and what you are trying to accomplish at this time. Good luck.
I have responded to the summons, say I can't afford his debt. Now I have to go court to see what decision will be made by his hospital bill
answered on Jul 7, 2021
More information is needed to answer this question, such as why do you or anyone else believe you are responsible for your father's debt? You should consider hiring a lawyer to defend you----the entity suing is represented and very much willing to take advantage of a non-represented person.
