What is the name of your state? Georgia
I have sued a company in January this year in Small Claims. This company is basically a one man show. The registered agent was the owner of the company (registered as Domestic profit with the Secretary of State) when the case was filed. The agent avoided service many times and the court clerk advised to take the help of Secretary of State. After following the relevant procedure, Sec of State accepted service on behalf of the company on Apr 8th.
Meanwhile the owner has registered another person as Registered agent without his knowledge ( don't know how exactly this happened) on Apr 1st. Now this person found out about it and complained to Secretary of state and took his name out of their records. Now there is no Registered Agent or any other officers at the Sec of State records. It just says that the agent has resigned.
On request for default judgement, the court has now arranged a hearing in about 10 days from now. It will be good if the owner shows up at the court. My questions are:
1.If the owner does not show up and there is a Judgement against the company, will the owner be liable to pay in this case?
2.If not, to whom should we be correspond about the default judegement?
3.Since there is no current agent, will the case be dismissed?
Thanks!
