Louisiana | Credit and Debt Law
Legal Question
We sold a home in Louisiana to a party who gave bad checks to utility company to pay past due account and deposit. The utility company has turned over the collection of the amounts to a collection agency to have us pay the amounts of the bad checks. The utility company accepted the assignment letter from us to the buyer in July 2008. We now have a bad debt on our credit report. Can we have the bad debt removed since we were not involved or responsible for the bad checks?? We live in Florida.
