You can demand a Sworn Account by the Plaintiff, and can even file your own, old style, Sworn Denial. But this will probably cause a continuance. Later you will have to defend yourself. If there is over $ 500 involved, it is probably worth having an attorney, as execution of a potential judgment... View More

You need to start protecting your assets now prior to being sued. Make a written offer to the actual creditor, not the collection firm. If they do not respond, again protect your assets. Do not give out any information about your finances, income, or employment status. If you get sued, file a... View More

Obviously a civil case. But you need to call the Court Clerk and ask. It may be Sessions, Circuit or Chancery Courts. It is probably from General Sessions Court. If you do not respond, possibly a Default Judgment will go down against you, so call today.

The Creditor probably can Probate Grandmother's Estate for its benefit. But it is very unlikely. You are probably better off filing a Notice of Exempt Property with whatever Court and Docket Number you are being sued under. You should be able to Exempt all property, but be careful with any...

The Judgment Lien exists against your property in that County where it is registered for ten years from the date of Judgment. If it was ordered by the Judge on 4/7/2009, then the Lien lapsed last midnight. However the Judgment Creditor might have asked the Court to extend it for another ten... View More

More than likely a Default Judgment will be entered against you and any other Defendant. If your SSI goes into a Bank Account with your name, it is very easy for the Judgment Creditor to Garnish it. You will need to file a Notice of Exempt Property with the Court.

Usually the Deficiency Suit will be barred after two years from the Foreclosure Sale, as it is the earliest SOL. Rarely will a Noteholder wait almost six years to Foreclose and then sue upon the remaining Note Indebtedness. Hopefully Tennessee Law applies to your Second Note, which is itself not... View More

Money Judgments usually carry interest, Court Costs and fees due the Serving Officer. It can be very difficult to determine the exact amount owed at any certain time. Usually you can compute it for the end of a month, but neither the Courts nor the Judgment Creditor are bound by your... View More

It is possible that you owe multiple Debts. Or it may be the same Debt being sold to other Collection Agencies. Hire a competent attorney to force them to prove their Account Cause of Action in Court.
His insurance co paid the damages but not $900+ in fees charged by the rental company. Do I need to file a small claims case in TN or where I live to try to recoup damages?
answered on Dec 19, 2018
The suit would have to be filed in Tennessee where the defendants live or where the accident occurred. You can't sued them where you live for something they did in Tennessee..
They say if we dnt pay the bill by a certain day, they will add it to our current service for payment. Can they do that?

Answering your question invites a discussion of the "statute of limitations". The law encourages prompt resolution of debt issues. The longer resolution is delayed, the greater the risk of harm to either party. Tennessee has established time limits on seeking the court's help in... View More

Was TennCare listed as a Creditor in your Bankruptcy? Were they listed as an unsecured, non-priority Debt? And if so, did the State fight it? You must look at your Bankruptcy File, and will probably have to spend alot of time with the Court's File. Hire a competent attorney. But if... View More
The last 2 entries are Filed Away and Order in Satisfaction of Judgement. It was an old debt the court issued a garnishment for and I just want to be sure that means it's fully paid and I can't get any trouble with the court. The order in satisfaction of judgement was February 2017.

You will need to hire a competent attorney to examine the Court Records and inquire of the Garnishment Clerks. Sometimes not all Court Costs are added up until a Levy goes out.

There is no easy answer. Have you considered bankruptcy? Consult a bankruptcy attorney before making any final decision. If you already have a interested and able purchaser, you might approach the Bank about foreclosing on the house: the bank really doesn't want to own the house, and having a... View More

They probably are relying upon the Divorce Statutes for additional Fees. Since there was no Contract, Note, etc., there is no contractual obligation. You need your Divorce Attorney to represent you in Court, and be ready to pay that day.

You have a claim for unjust enrichment, possibly contract claims and conversion. You need a member of the Trial Lawyers Assn for the place where this happened or the corporation is located. Look for one who handles commercial claims.
