Antioch, TN asked in Civil Litigation for Kentucky

Q: Where do I file for small claims court?

Freedom Mortgage Company failed to pay my property taxes last year even though I have VA loan and escrow. Amount goes up monthly and they are ignoring my requests for resolution. They have an office in Lexington, Ky. I live in Oak Grove, Ky. Do I file at the nearest court to Lexington or can I file at my local court? Only seeking penalties for nonpayment of taxes and court costs.

A: You cannot file that in small claims. You must file in circuit court, preferably In the county in which you reside.
