What is the proper answer to a civil suit in which a material supplier wants a balance due on an account from November 2007 from a company I work for, but the suit is against me personally? I signed the original contract on behalf of the company. The company actually got some of the materials almost three months late causing the construction project to be delayed. The company feels they don't owe the money because of the carrying costs they had to pay while the project was delayed. Some of the materials were not appropriate and leaks occurred within months after completion of the building.
