Subok did mention that the company had ceased operations, had it not?
If a woman or man had made the decision to break up a relationship, any party that continues to "talk" the other to resume the relationship to the point of pestering day in, day out, to the point of "harassing" could be possibly charged under the law.
Like the MONGREL who bit his masters' hands LOUDHAILER chee soon juan and his reCHEEme, you cannot tell right from wrong.
The guy has not resigned as a director. If he did, or if the company was made bankrupt then you would be right. But now we have a company who owes money. The creditor is entitled to chase the debt in any legitimate means which includes approaching people and asking for money. The way to approach a company for money is through its directors. So too bad for Subok's friend (or himself).
So too bad. I really hope the debt collection agency embarasses him in front of his wife, children, in-laws and friends. Because that will tip the scales back in favour of the creditor who cannot afford to pay $2k to their lawyer to recover $1k.
The debt collection agency is god's gift to the creditor of small debts.
