Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I was not notified about a corporations dissolvment. I am a creditor

I am owed money from a photographer (via his corporation) whom I

represented as his commercial Agent. I have been trying to collect for about

three years. He has delayed certain payments and later opened another

corporation. I recently found out that he had dissolved the original

corporation in 2003, but I was never sent notice of any kind that he had

closed it.

Since I was told to send my commision invoices to his new corp. after 2003, I

did so, constantly sending requests to pay the original outstanding invoices. I

also reissued the original invoices again to the new corporatio. I have also

requested, for over two years, copies of his cancelled checks, just in case

there was an error with my acocuinting and bookkeeper and these invoices

were indeed paid.. I Never received these. Even offered to set up a payment

plan.

Can I still go after payment? I have never stopped trying to collect and again

was never notified about the closing of that first corporation as it seemed to

somehow fold into the new one. Is there anything I can do? The amount is

around $13,000.

Re: I was not notified about a corporations dissolvment. I am a creditor

You probably have four years from the time you last did work for the photographer to sue, so you should be OK legally. It looks at this point that you will never recover any of the money that is owed you unless you commence legal action.

I specialize in filing lawsuits to collect unpaid invoices. If you or the photographer are in Southern California, please feel free to call me to talk some more about this.
