Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Hi,

(Non Perfect English Writer)

In 2011 I registered my company as a food distributor and went to a previous employer to present it and become partners, me selling his products to my customers in exchange of a sales %, and they agreed.

We never wrote any agreements and they promise me to help me build the company. In the meantime, we were using their trucks, their products and employees to deliver the products, while I was out selling and building a name with my work and service

Without consulting me, they opened a bank account, using the Employer Identification Number that I registered. Because of poor communication and changes in their ways of due the things, I just decided to end up the relationship.

I want to know what can I do in order to protect my business. The invoices have the name of my company but their address.

Can the go to the stores to collect the account receivables?

Can I sue them for using my name and open a bank account with my EIN?

thanks,

JS

Please be advised that this cannot be answered online without first first retaining an attorney because of attorney-client privilege which should be present when further reviewing the specific facts in your case.

If there is a significant sum that is owed, you should consider retaining an attorney to help you address the matter. The good news is that the preliminary legal review and analysis should not be expensive.
