Defendant can claim the Statute of Frauds unless there is a writing, even a cashed check. General Sessions suit will cost about a third of your prospective judgment. If you get a judgment by default including costs, you will still have to work to collect it.

I do not know what suit you are referencing. But if you signed a note and financing agreement, your contract is with the lender and has nothing to do with the manufacturer.

It depends on whether the case was dismissed "with prejudice" or "without prejudice." If the dismissal was "without prejudice," the claim can be refiled, but if the dismissal was "with prejudice," then an appeal is the sole avenue for relief.

It sounds like you need an attorney to represent you. If the other side gets a judgment against you, they are going to try to collect it. You can probably get away with filing a Counter Claim for the property tort damages on your Appeal De Novo.

If you are unwilling to enter into a payment arrangement and cannot afford a lawyer, you can spend the next 4 months learning everything you can about lawyering because you'll be representing yourself. There are three options: agree to a payment plan, consent to a judgment, or defend the lawsuit.

SOL is usually 7 years. It does not sound like you had any claim to title unless you were an heir at law. If so, then you might be a tenant in common. Making a loan does not make you an owner.

The lawsuit is coming from a loan company that has acquired a lawyer for representation. I think I got the term "Consent Judgement" correct. With that being said, since the judgement was approved by the courts, is it still necessary for me to go to court?

If it is moved to another Court, then it sounds like you did not receive a money Judgment. If you have a Judgment, then record a certified copy in the Register's Office. Then hire an attorney to begin collections, unless you can get the Clerk to issue a bank levy now.
