 I would see a lawyer as soon as possible to see if you really
are responsible. We don't know what you signed or how you
interacted with AT&T while you were a consultant. Obviously, AT&T
associates you with the defunct company.
 I don't think it is hard for investigators to get your personal
info if they want it.
