Just as they should be following thru on collecting any outstanding debts owed to the business.

The fact that they are passing the buck back and forth and saying the "old owner" is responsible is BS in my opinion. You prurchased it from the business and the business should follow thru with it commitments. If the new owners screwed up and didnt do their research and find out how much was owed in back orders to customers that already paid for products is not the customers fault. Its the new owners mistake for not doing it.

If BPP continues to "pass the buck" I would start filing complaints with the Better Business Buerau. That should light a fire under the new owers but to get this junk figured out.

He operated the business as a sole proprietorship, so all that was sold was the name, all prior business, including ordering information, past due orders and outstanding debts are solely Troy's.

That is insane! If it is under new management, so what? It is still their problem! They chose to take over BPP, and they must also take over any problems that company in having - whether with Troy, or some hobo off the street!
Its just rediculous how they are trying to get out of it. Not a good start.

All the info was sent. It sounds like he will make good on this. Let's all remember how great BPP was before Troy fell on hard times. They were known as a place with good prices and excellent customer service, all managed by one man. When that one man was down there was nobody there to pick up the pieces of his business. Let's all hope for the best.

That's too bad... it really sucks to see a good business go down the tubes. In the past I always has good luck with B-P-P. I feel bad for the guys who are getting the run around now. The new owners should make things right just for the sake of their business... who is going to want to chance ordering from there now with all of this going on.

no me for sure...so dont know why me too bpp had some issue..could it be a bankruptcy ...

It sounds like the new owners actually do care enough to try and help out previous customers that got screwed. While they may not give you a refund or send you the product, it's a pretty good gesture of them to give discounts to past customers that got screwed.

Business purchases and changeovers can go many different ways. It is not abnormal for a new owner to have it where the previous owner takes care of previous issues all the way up to and including pending/potential law suits.

The last company I worked for had dealt with asbestos under previous ownership. The ownership I worked under purchased the trademark name, facilities, customer base, etc but left the asbestos litigation and liability with the former owners. That did not stop people from trying to sue us but it never got off the ground.

So basically it is possible, legal, and common for business purchases to not include liabilities and such.
