Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I signed for couches for an ex friend who is illegal. He never paid for the couches and now my account is in collections. What can I do?

Settle the debt, pay the debt or file bankruptcy. Regardless of who ended up with the merchandise, if you signed up for the debt, you must pay it regardless.
