Yes. You can sue. But not having a contract for a loan may enable them to a decent defense. Consult counsel to determine your options.

If you are still in possession ten days after the Judgment, then the landlord can ask for a
Writ of Possession to issue. Usually the Sheriff will contact you to leave prior to force, but it is not required. Not going to Court probably forfeited your Security Deposit which you did not... View More

If The company asked you to do the work -and you did the work- you should be entitled to be paid. The fact there is not a writing shouldn't prevent you from making a claim.
You may want to formally write them sending an invoice for your services - and if that doesn't work you... View More
I have paid 85% of the contract price but stopped making payments because I want to sue the seller for the amount I’ve paid so far. Does the non disclosure of the liens by the seller open the door for breach of contract and refund?

The Bulk Sale Law is probably violated. But you will need to examine your potential defendant. If no disclosure was made, then breach of contract may not have occurred. Obviously you did not check this out prior to purchase. Hire a competent attorney to examine your choices.

You interest could possibly be executed upon. Most buyers will not take your title however. Judgment Liens are good for ten years from date of Judgment, unless extended, which happens frequently. Even it the Lien lapses, it will still be in your title unless the creditor or a court removes it.... View More

Obviously you did not check out your target prior to suit, which is a mistake. It may or may not be ever collectible. In your situation, hiring a collection attorney is probably the best option because learning about assets and collection methods would be difficult and useless.
I called a bankruptcy lawyer in 2020, she said it was not worth going bankrupt if I was on social security. Social security could not be garnished. So I just stopped paying the loan company, the balance is a little over $3000.

It can be as arguably disturbing the peace, and the LEO might find other charges. You can defend yourself in Court, but the Judge is not going to be impressed with First Amendment Rights, even if he dismisses the same. Be careful of Contempt of Court.

The DA can charge VOP either way. Ultimately the Court may make you serve the Sentence in the Penitentiary. You should go see the Officer today, but be prepared to be arrested. It can only get worse than it is.

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

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.
