Liability for debt, contract performance, etc. depends on more substantive

issues. Perhaps the plaintiff intends to prove that the company is actually the

same entity responsible for the debt but has merely changed the EIN, dba,

etc, and transferred all operations to a different LLC. Your liability will depend on

such changes and the contract or agreement you signed with them. Several

factors must be analyzed to determine liability in such cases. You and/or

your attorney should analyze your change in LLC, relevant legal contracts,

and other documents to determine liability and options.
