What should I do about CA letter?

    Got a letter from NES (in mid March) stating that Sherman Acquisitions had purchased a (credit card) debt incurred by my small business and I had 30 days to dispute.

    I rarely used the account, but let DH use it for his business. Hardly any of the charges were made by me, but an attorney has told me I'm liable for them.

    What should I do? Clock's ticking.

    Thanks!

    who's name is on the account? are you or DH an authorized user (or AU as you will see on here)?

    go to the sample letter forum and look for debt validation letter. do not copy and paste, but use as a reference so you can send a debt validation to them.

    The account is in my company's name. It's been so long since this happened (but not quite 7 years) that I think my DH was listed as an authorized user.
    Of course that was the case with me.

    With regard to the advice "not to copy and paste" I'm not sure which parts I should use as a reference. Help?

    Thanks!

    were you sole proprietor, LLC, etc?

    aw, heck, just cut and paste - probably easier until all the lingo makes sense. just make sure to edit to fit your situation!

    I too, would appreciate some advice from veterans on this board.

    FYI: in the mailing I received, they mispelled the name of my company.

    Is that enough to dispute?

    Thanks!
