For example? What does that mean and what exactly did you sign?

No seasoned lawyer will guess regarding your liability as a Manager and whether you signed solely in your Managerial capacity as an agent of a specific entity or whether you led the other party to believe that you were personally guaranteeing whatever it was you signed.

If you received a certified letter looks like it might be time to invest in a legal consultation for piece of mind. Or negotiate if you think you owe money since you are the person who signed without legal counsel. Or if the cost of defending formal action costing thousands is of little concern wait to potentially be served with a summons and a complaint.
