Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Our LLC are receiving harrassing calls/emails from a collections company for a debt that we disputed with our merchant service provider. Our merchant service provider issued a charge back credit to one of our customers in excess of the amount paid for the service by the customer. The customer had already received a full refund for the service. We refused to pay the excess chargeback to the merchant service provider and disputed the charge. The merchant service provider did not respond to the dispute and sent the chargeback to a collections agency. Are we personally liable for the debt in dispute?

Based solely on what information you provided, no. Members of an LLC are not generally liable for the debts and obligations of the company. However, there are exceptions to this rule, so I would advise you to retain a local business attorney to fully discuss the situation and otherwise utilize them as counsel moving forward.
