Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Debt Responsibility

A collection agency has contacted me regarding a debt of a former employer. I was a General Manager for a Corporation and signed a work order for an product/service that was never paid. I have not worked for this company in four years. Do I have responsibility to this debt? If not, how do I fight this?

Re: Debt Responsibility

If they call again, tell them you were an employee and are not responsible for the debt. Also, tell them never to call you again. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they have to stop calling. Also, the statute of limitation might have run on bringing a lawsuit to collect the debt.
