What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
So I have what I believe is an unusual situation. I am in a general partnership with my husband with a lawn care business. We have been on a downward spiral and have now decided to stop doing business. There are 2 large bills that were incurred years ago when my husband was in a general partnership with someone else, under a similar business name. The former business partner moved to another state and that business was dissolved. It was an LLC. Then my husband and I formed our new partnership that is not an LLC. The two large accounts have now come back to haunt us. The other partner has disappeared off the face of the earth, that business no longer exists, but collectors are still pursuing my husband. How can we go about stopping this? Does he need to file for personal bankruptcy in order for them to go away?
Any advice anyone has would be great.
Thanks!
