divemedic Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I am preparing for a suit against a CA. According to state documents, one man is the president, treasurer, secretary and director of the corporation. There are no other owners, officers or shareholders listed. Can I sue him personally?

razorack Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 DiveMedic,I am self employed and had a corporation at one time. When I had it I was a Vice-President with other partners and we could not be sued in Michigan unless we guaranteed a debt personally, which we never did.We did on a few occasions have attorneys try to pierce the corporate vail, but none succeeded. They tried to sue us personally stating that when we signed documents that we were signing them personally and guaranteeing the debts.Not sure if this will help you.razorack-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Sue the CA.. and then list him individually.That way you can get damages from the company AND from him personally.. ((At least that is how I was told it could work)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghacorp Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 It is virtually impossible to sue a corporate officer personally except in cases of criminal actions. If a Delaware corporation the standards may be even greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divemedic Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Well, I know for debt it is hard, but this isnt for a debt, it is for violations of the law. The cool part is that the Florida version of the FDCPA says "In collecting consumer debts, no person shall:"Does that help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
