My brother in law is scared witless and has asked me for advice. He has just received a letter from the Sheriff's Office/Courts Service addressed to a company with which he once had an involvement but is sent c/o his home address.
He had ceased having any involvement with the company about 3 years ago and it was wound up last year. The letter states that they "will proceed to levy the said amount.... unless payment is received within 4 days".
Firstly, if it is the debt of a Limited Liability company how/why are they coming after him or is it because his is the only address they have?? I thought Limited Liability company meant limited liability and surely an individual cannot be pursued for a company debt.
Secondly, whilst there may well be some company assets they are certainly not located at his premises and he certainly has no access to them
What would you suggest I advise him to do??
