I recently worked for a company that was decimated by the financial difficulties of the current environment and had to let go 99% of the company (including myself). Needless to say the company has not been able to pay its bills and will inevitable file for bankruptcy.
During my employment I called (I worked in accounting) and set up a CORPORATE account for the company and verbally agreed to be placed as the adminstrator on the account under the verbal understanding from the representative that it was simply to be the contact person.
Upon being let go I inquired w/ AMEX to change the contact person to one of the remaining employees but I was informed the contact person would not be changed until the $100k balance was paid and that I was personally liable for the debt of the company. Needless to say the debt still has not been paid, AMEX and their collection agency is coming after me b/c the company will not return calls and cannot pay yet and the 100k debt of the company is now on my personal credit report!
AMEX's claims by agreeing to be listed as the contact on the account I agreed to be responsible if the company did not pay. The company is a public corp of which I wasn't an owner or officer, why would I knowing accept responsibility for the debts of a corporation?!! That's riduculous.
I have or had perfect credit; now its ruined! I need help..
