We shipped a product with Southwestern Motor Transport that interlined the delivery with Daylight Transport. We filed the claim with Southwestern whom states it is Daylight Transport place to pay the claim. They further stated if Daylight Transport does not pay them for the claim they will not pay...

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... Read more »
I am the home owner and her name is not on anything in the house except trash pickup
File a Detainer Warrant for Possession Only. It must be served or posted. Do not get into a fight with her, or she will generate substantial leverage.
Went to my former employer got booked in and given a court date. My question is since I have never been on this side I am not sure what kind of attorney I need to speak with over this matter?! I live in the country side my neighbor is claiming my dog roams at large and killed one of her chickens….
As as a former LEO you know to keep your mouth shut, including on this forum. Take care of your dog for awhile so no further trouble erupts. Hire about any decent, competent attorney to represent you, as you need him to talk to the DA. Be prepared to make Restitution, probably at the first... Read more »
I have it in writing via text, I said do not enter my residence without me being present. Now I have a valuable coin collection missing along with several hundred dollars
I would call the police and report this.
I have been making payments on a contract for deed only to find out that the person recieving payments is not the deeded owner. Would this be considered felony fraud? Should I contact the sheriff?
You can try to get the Sheriff to get a Warrant, but it is doubtful. Put together proof of payment, the Contract, and the actual owner's Deed. More than likely You are left with suing your contracting party for breach of contract, fraud, and any other appropriate causes of action. Hire a... Read more »

1 insurance carrier owes us almost $20k going back to Labor Day 2020. Can we sue for that?
If the insurer had agreed to pay for your work as opposed to the insured then the insurer may be liable. If your contract/ agreement is with the insured- and the insurer is supposed to pay the insured- then your customer may have to pursue the insurer and your remedy may be against your customer-...

What is your question?
What's a notice by publication.
Notice by publication serves to give the person notified notice of the matter or proceeding when the party pursuing the matter isn't certain that they have the correct mailing or service address of someone. It sounds like you have received both actual notice and notice by publication (which... Read more »
Summons date was 1-11-2021, I was served 5-27-2021 and court hearing is tomorrow 6-11-2021. How is that legal?
You might ask for a continuance to get an attorney, but it appears that service was timely. That is probably not a Court of Record but General Sessions, and only a few days notice is required.
Am I personally liable for credit issued to my Sole Proprietor Name and Tax Identity Number if the credit card did not ask for my name and SSAN? They did not have me sign a Personal Guarantee?
As a sole proprietor, you are personally liable for the business debts. You are the sole proprietor entity.
Filed over 300 days ago and do not want to ask for dismissal without prejudice when I am ready to go to trial but don’t want to move to circuit court. I’m already suing for harassment and 3 claims are under that umbrella anyway. Asking for punitive damages to be included because defendant has... Read more »
Just state you are dismissing those causes of actions at the start of trial. Alot of times you have to try the case twice, once at Sessions then Circuit Court. It may or may not be your choice.

An action for Conversion in General Sessions Court might be best option. But it sounds like someone pawned the Title, then repossessed the collateral.
You need to post this question in Indiana, not Tennessee. But usually you have to do what the Probation Officers say regardless, or they will violate you... And you are the one that goes to Jail or Prison. They may assign you another PO in time, but do not complain now.
I do not know what "Adv Fin amt" is, but you need to be concerned with what amount you are being sued for as shown on the Civil Warrant. You might talk to the lawyer which sued you, which should also be on the Warrant. But be careful of what you say and require a paid in full receipt... Read more »
I was contacted not 30 minutes later by a person who was interested in buying said property and since I was in a panic I foolishly negotiated a deal for him to purchase the house.
I later discover that city code enforcement does not contact a party by phone, only by mail to keep a paper... Read more »
Unless you can prove there is some connection between the code guy and the purchaser, you will not be able to set aside the contract for fraud. However you may want to read your contract, verbatim. Even if you breach it, the primary recourse for the buyer will be Specific Performance. Hire... Read more »
My situation is that the acquittal was entered into record on 12/12/2019. The verdict was actually given on 12/11/2019. The Civil summons was filed on 12/11/2020. February had a leap year so from 12/11/2019 to 12/11/2020 is 366 days.
As far as I know all SOLs run in years not days. There are just a few 6 month SOLs. These include both criminal charges and civil causes of actions. What is your question? Because the Statutes use years, leap years are not a concern. But Non Court days usually extend SOLs one or two days by... Read more »

Yes, you can file suit for Breach of Contract in General Sessions Court of the County of the Defendant's residence. Circuit and Chancery Courts are also available. But I recommend hiring a collection attorney after you get a Judgment.
