Hire an attorney to get it diverted, dismissed and expunged. Restitution and costs will probably be required.

Contract actions usually exclude consequential damages. Tort claims might include such damages. No

small claims court in TN. General Sessions Court might allow it, but it sounds like a breach of contract action, so no.

A Tennessee attorney should advise, but your question remains open for four weeks. But as a general matter, most places impose a requirement of registration and insurance to leave the lot - it might be temporary, but it's a registration nonetheless. Good luck

That sounds like a potential breach of contract action on each refund. Possible class action. But it sounds like you have no evidence. Consult with an attorney. But be advised it may not be a TN jurisdictional matter.

Yes, there is no law prohibiting the extended warrant company from requesting those invoices.

There is also no law requiring the repair shop to provide them.

It sounds like you are being sued on the Note you signed. An attorney can sue the other party for contribution, but collection is another matter. Bankruptcy or a Settlement may be options. If a Judgment goes down, protect your assets and file a Notice of Exempt Property.

Your contract is apparently with SW Transport. Read the contract as it will have some disclaimers of liability. But it may give SW as your agent the power to hire another party to perform the contractual duty. If under $ 25K you might sue both carriers in Sessions Court and let them blame each... View More

That would probably be a conversion cause of action against the dealer. There may be criminal liability, but you would have to make the allegation to the police and you would need information about who to accuse. Hire a competent attorney now and file suit.

Depending on the value of the jack, it could be a misdemeanor or a felony charge for Theft Of Property. Hire a competent attorney to represent you. Restitution may need to be made despite the recovery. You want to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Otherwise it will affect you for life.

It is possible to find judgments and court approved settlements. You would need to know where the case was filed- State Court or Federal. And then in what County or District. For Federal Court you can check online on the Pacer system.

Probably not a problem. Journal entry is not required and the Seal can be affixed later, but needs to be there prior to the instrument being used or relied upon. Notaries should sign their full names, but often do not.
