I was a co-owner of a XXXX. I was bought out contract was developed the contract stated that the new owners would assume all liability for all outstanding debt for all accounts. Two years later I was sued by XXXX for a bill that was not in my name but the account was open by me when I was an owner. 
A judgement rendered against me. I paid the account and a in turn I sued the new owners who did n't fulfill their contract obligation. 
I have a judgement against me although I was out of the business for over two years. 
I have the paperwork to confirm both settlements.
