    I have a C-Corp closed before a small claims case started.
    Am I still liable if $2500.00 judgement is reached?

    What do you mean by IF judgment is reached?

    Don't wait. Simply show up to court and affirm (and prove) that the Corporation is defunct.

    The case has already happened, i did not know i should not have gone to the hearing.
    The "BOGUS" judgement has been filled can they come after me personally?

    No need to "shout".

    Your corporation was the defendant and a small claims judgment was awarded against it? No, they can't go after you personally unless the judgment is against you.

    It actually doesn't matter whether the corporation is defunct or not. OP is not liable for the debts of the corporation unless (s)he was sued personally.

    If, on the other hand, OP was sued individually, (s)he would have had to show that the debt was that of the corporation and not an obligation of the individual. If that wasn't done, it's probably too late.

    What do you imagine repeating yourself is going to accomplish?

    These people are users, they have a want-a-b relative lawyer, and I believe they will try to collect at all cost. Am I 100% protected, or is there some loop hole they can use.

    Just making sure, I had others look at my hard documented information and I still lost. The courts are always for the "poor customer" and does not make them own up to there mistakes.

    I cannot tell if you are "100% protected" until you have first told me the details of your situation. To begin with, please answer the questions I asked earlier.

    Well, their want-a-b relative lawyer seems to have accomplished the job for them.

    Hello law:

    The judgment will be against SOME CORPORATION. Not you. If the judgment isn't against YOU, it can't be collected against you. If the judgement reads some corporation AND YOU, then it CAN be collected against you.

    This isn't mysterious stuff.
