Where do i stand?

[dupris]

I have recently started my own business after the business i was working for is going bust (my fathers business). Basically, my father owned business A - which is about to go bust and i have now started new business B in my name, we have done everything legitmately.

As far as premises are concerned i have taken control of the new premises in my name and a new lease. The business' are identical and my father is now getting letters from a debt collection agency saying they are coming out tommorow to "conduct an inventory of assets". SO my question is - how do i explain to them that he no longer trades from this address, as if they come out they will think im lying as its virtually the same business?

My father no longer has a business address so i suppose the only thing i can do is direct them to his house?

Firstly, you can refuse them access to the premises as only a Court bailiff with a Court Order accompanied by the police can force entry to any premises.
Secondly, give them your father's details so that he can deal with them directly.
And take it from there.
