I requested proof of the debt but I noticed it did not have the contract that was suppose to be signed for the debt showing the total amount borrowed, interest and what would be paid if loan was completed in its entirety - it only had 1400.00 typed out that it was taken out on 08/3/2015- my court...

They do not have to respond to your letter. I would think you would be in General Sessions, but your facts sound like a Court of Record. Whatever, to dispute the suit, you will probably need an attorney. The suit is probably being filed just before the SOL runs.
A judgment will be... Read more »
I have the court orders in his name only and I need a lawyer to resolve this issue.
It appears they found your Husband through you. Your Husband should have been served with whatever suit was filed, and should have defended himself. Now he must immediately file to set aside what may be a Default Judgment, or file an Appeal, hopefully an Appeal De Novo. He must act fast and... Read more »
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 am a 62 year old senior living in the state of TN between Knoxville and Athens, TN. I've been sent a bill charging more than double the time the serviceman/men spent actually doing the job. Also, they're charging me more than double what I could have spent on parts and more than 4... Read more »
I would suggest you communicate in writing as well as orally your dispute to the contractor asking for an explanation of all charges. There may be an explanation - and the Contractor hasn't provided you with enough information. On the other hand there could be a mistake and you have been... Read more »
We were laid off and the courts want 16,17,18 tax returns, bank/financial statements none of those years were when the loan took place. Why do they need that? My husband is still unemployed and makes 412 a month I just got a job and wasn't employed up until that point
That type of document production usually occurs in conjunction with post-judgment discovery in order for the judgment creditor to collect from you. You need to check with the Court to see if a Judgment has already went down against you two. Otherwise the creditor must anticipate a problem... Read more »
If there is, what section code is that under?
You can work on your own car. If it was illegal there wouldn't be AutoZone stores everywhere. But if you are on private property, say in an apartment complex, you may be prohibited from working on your vehicle on that particular property, for example.
This sounds like it could be something to discuss with a Tennessee attorney in confidence - but your post remains open for four weeks. If you need a defense attorney, you could reach out to them here (Find-a-Lawyer tab above), or conduct your independent search for one. Good luck

It likely does not mean that. Don't worry, it doesn't mean you weren't approved either.
You see there are different parts of a loan - origination and servicing.
Loan origination is the process by which a borrower applies for a new loan, and a lender processes that... Read more »
Random person is splitting up 20 rural acres he owns into (4) 5 acre tracts and selling them. I want to buy one of the 5 acre tracts. He is adding in his contract that I will build a minimum of a 2200 square foot home and I have to use a certain builder. Everyone that lives on that road builds... Read more »
That should be an enforceable contract. Hopefully it will not be a recorded restriction. But enforcing it will be expensive and difficult for the seller. You may want to buy elsewhere, as you are buying a home that you know will probably have problems.
Your question remains open for five weeks - you could consider contacting auctioneers. They might be able to direct you to attorneys familiar with the law in this area. It's a narrow field and might not be something that the average general business law/contract attorney deals with. Good luck... Read more »
She paid $4000 up front and then changed her mind. She called within 24 hours and sent a certified letter (no signed return receipt received). My brother found out later the address given for the company was an empty lot. She did receive a letter from contractors attorney saying the contractor had... Read more »
From the facts, it sounds to me like you may be describing a breach of contract claim that your Mother would have against the contractor here. This link provides information on common Tennessee statutes of limitations... Read more »
First, you haven't asked a question. Second, sounds like a scam. If you were supposed to ship the car you better be real sure the funds clear the bank before you do.
I settled over an $800+ bill in court and paid it off. Now the same collection agency on behalf of the same hospital, is saying i owe another $1900+ from previous service dates before the aforemention $800+ bill. Is this even legal? What should i do?
Could be legal. Sounds like you only settled one bill. Without seeing the other bills, it's hard to say whether they can collection for various issues including statutes of limitations. Consult local counsel to best determine your options.
I am not sure as to the question. If they stopped making payments and you want to collect you may have to bring a lawsuit against whichever one or both that bought the vehicle in order to collect. Your rights will either be based upon common law remedies - or upon your contract - if you have a... Read more »
She said this is from check into cash from TN. I didn’t even live in TN in 2013 and has an old address from 2011. She said they a trying to file suit against me. Can they do that if this is not my debt
Yes they can sue you. If served, hire a competent attorney to represent you. Talking to the creditor on the phone after telling them it has nothing to do with you will not help. The creditor should be forced to produce the check, any other writings about the same, and possibly a witness.
I was then told to get it back today I would have a pay a gate fee,or wait till Monday, today being Sunday, please help me,my car has a handicap sticker in plain view also
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you haven't already, just concentrate on working out reasonable terms for getting your car out of there for now. Each day it sits there, it continues accruing storage fees. You could sit down with a... Read more »
I asked her why the increase and she told me that she had families on a waiting list willing to pay more. I explained to her that I did not mind the increase and that she just went up and with everything going on that it just seems shady. She sent me a message back stating she would send my final...

I am not sure the question. If you are wondering if the landlord can 1) raise the rent or 2) terminate and not renew - on a renewal - the answer would be in your lease which should have provisions as to how the lease ends- and perhaps renews. There is also generally "hold over"... Read more »
Someone passed a stolen check of mine and made a purchase of over $1000 at a Tennessee Walmart in late 2001. I was not aware of this until June 2020 when I was trying to purchase a handgun and was rejected by the TBI. The information I was given is that there is a case against me in the county... Read more »
Most importantly, you need to know if it was only a charge, or a conviction. A charge is not a firearm disability although the TBI will not okay your firearm purchase from a FFL. But a conviction, and a felony at that, will be life changing. Hopefully it is only a charge, and a very good... Read more »
What are my options to keep my house but to get rid of the RV?
Depending on your actual financial and cash flow position, a Chapter 7 might be what you are interested. If the RV is your only debt bankruptcy seems a bit extreme; however, it is what the number say.

There is not enough information to really respond to your question. I am not sure why if you are a consumer the reason you would be dealing with a surety company. But there is probably a good reason. You may want to contact a lawyer - rather than putting a lot of details here.
