Send a notice, if they dont reply then either file a consumer complaint / recovery suit. It is important to understand the nature of transaction and terms of agreement before taking step against any person.

Q: Liabilities after retiring from partnership firm

Hi,I and my friend created a partnership firm in July2017. Under this firm we opened a guest house in Gurgaon on rented premises and the rent deed was between the landlord and the our firm (where we both wer partner). In July 2018 a new partner was introduced in company and my friend got retired. This all we did on Notary. In July 2019 i retired from the company and now that new partner was the only one in the company. This all was decided in front of landlord. Now it is 5 months i am not part of company but suddenly i got a call from landlord that the new partner did some blunder in property and has not paid the rent for last three months. Now landlord says that just because the rent deed was between the original partners and landlord so i am liable to pay the rent. However we have the partnership and dissolution deed saying that i am not the partner in the company. landlord is filing a case in court.Please suggest.

Hi, A retired partner continues to be liable to the third party for acts of the firm till such time that he or other members of the firm give a public notice of his retirement. However, if the third party deals with the firm without knowing that he was a partner in the firm, then he will not be liable to the third party. (Sec 32, Partnership Act)However, in the present case the third party (owner) had a knowledge that you are not the part of firm anymore. So by no means he can harras you or can ask for anything.For further query you can contact me.

Hi,In these kind of Cases bank generally gives you chance to pay off your dues/debt, but that also will be for limited time. After that they will file a case against you. The only way to pay off the loan or if you don't have any money then let them file the case till then you will get some time and meanwhile you arrange the debt.
