Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Re: Collection of past due debt.

If your business was a corporation, it is responsible for the debt not you. If a sole proprietorship, you are responsible. They can sue in either Georgia or in the county where you live. Since you have no defense the court may try to settle it offering you a payout schedule. Good luck.

Re: Collection of past due debt.

See prior reply. Depending upon whom is the liable party, you should consider defending the claim.

Re: Collection of past due debt.

If your corporation is the only party responsible for the debt, then the crediotr cannot pursue you personally, but may only seek a judgment against the corporation. If the corporation has no assets and you do not intend to do anything with it in the future, it may not matter to you whether the creditor/plaintiff files a lawsuit and obtains a judgment since it will never be collected, although your deposition in aid of execution of that judgment will likely be taken in an effort to learn whether the corporation has any assets, accounts receivables, etc. Without knowing more about your case, I cannot definitively answer your question concerning jurisdiction. If you corporation has assets and you have no defense to the claim, you may want to work out a payment plan you can honor. Good luck.
