I am the main administrator (I believe T-mobile terms it "responsible
party") on a business account with T-mobile.  The Federal Tax ID of
the business, not my Social Security number, is the identifier for the
account.  I remember signing an agreement as the responsible party,
but I do not recall, nor have a copy of, that agreement.

Question: Am I personally responsible for the bill should the company default?

I need something hard that will stand up in court for this.  "My
friend works for T-mobile..." comments are helpful and appreciated,
but not what I need for an answer.

Thank you in advance for your work.

This probably depends in large measure on two things:

1.  The nature of the business.  Are you working for a corporation
(maximum protection from personal liability), an LLC (some personal
liability remains) or some other form of business?  And in what state
is the business registered?

2.  The agreement with T-mobile.  The commenter below is absolutely
right -- request a copy of the agreement from the company, so you can
review what you signed, and what sort of liabilities it contains.

Let us know how we can best assist you in this situation.

Hi pafalafa,

To answer:

1. It is a registered (in California) corporation, with corporate
office in Texas.  Contract was executed in Texas, and billing address
is in Texas.

2. I will request a copy of the agreement.  If you have any input in
the meantime, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

First thing to do is ask T-Mobile for a copy of the Agreement you
signed, which should tell you if you have personal liability.
