A 2 yr. old bill, just received

This telephone bill was for my incorporated business, which I no longer have. Due to the service not working, I got out of the contract and they now want me to pay for the remaining time, over $1700.

Unless you signed a personal guaranty then if the corporation has no assets you don't have to worry about it. You should not pay from your own pocket unless you signed a personal guaranty. Please call me if you would like a consult.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

A 2 year old bill is still enforceable. If you signed for the service personally or guaranteed it, then you are responsible for the bill. How did you get out of the contract? Unless you got a release, the obligation remains. You cannot cancel it unilaterally.
