[QUOTE="SlickyBoy, post: 1552766, member: 8508"] My business relationship was brief and limited, so way the credit card people can legitimately come after me. It's the IRS bullet I am glad I dodged. If my names were on any official documents or anything showing controlling interest, I'd probably be screwed too. Now that you mention it, I am wondering how much longer the IRS will wait to start taking action against the defunct corporation and come after his assets. There are already liens against the defunct business entity. Once they get past the corporate veil, the next step would be a levy on everything they can reach - bank, vehicles, real property, etc. There are rules they have to follow and time limitations, but I would be surprised if they let go, given the amount owed. I got curious and checked the court records - lo and behold, the credit card company also tried to take him to small claims court a year or so ago. The records show they tried to serve him twice, once electronically and once by sheriff at his address, but both times the reason listed was "moved" or "not living there." I know for a fact he still lives at the same address, so I don't know how he dodged the in person summons - unless maybe his fiancee is in on the scam and lied about him no longer being at that address? I hope that isn't the case, but if so, well, they're made for each other - to hell with both of them. [/QUOTE]
