Re: under age credit

You should have a lawyer examine the documents that you have. It doesn't make sense that there should be a judgment against you personally if the parts were bought through a business entity. If the judgment is against you personally, you should be able to have is voided because of your status as a minor but you can't wait on that. So, if you don't want to have a $9k debt following you, spend a little and get a lawyer to look the case over.
