The company was out of business for more than 3 years so I did not want to keep it active to avoid associated fees. Company is already dissolved. I got the letter after that. Also I am not the website owner. The owner still agrees that I did not send him any images. I sent him my contact information and he offered me to put it on the site and also an email account. Which he removed few years ago since I didn't need it any more. However, he had my contact information for the website which I was not aware of. He said that way he could pay renewal using the credit card (He is in India). I think they should really contact the website owner not me, correct? Any comments? The company was an Incorporated as Inc.

I had a company registered and had a web site hosted. The company was then dissolved last year. Back in December I got a letter from getty images for $845 for one image on that website. The issue is the website is long gone, and have no idea to find it. Also technically I did not own the website. I paid a hosting person for setting it up and all I did was sent him my contact information and some details about type of consulting I would like to do. He set that up so that people can contact me. Also he gave me one email account on that website. But there was no luck and NO work was sought that way. Company made no money so I dissolved it to avoid state fees. Now can they sue me personally? I am unemployed, but my wife is temporarily employed. The letter was just regular mail, so can I ignore it as they cannot claim its delivery? Any advice is appreciated.
