Im liable for the money unless i truly believed the check was good? And i even offered to pay the bank back in installments if theyd draw up the paperwork, but he said no and now it's gonna be a lot more! Help!
I believe I already answered this question when originally posted; and since you still do not understand why you are liable for the money that the bank lost on the bad check you deposited allow me to try again to explain.
1. All bank customers who deposit checks that later bounce are... Read more »
In the claus it says only won't be liable if i truly believed the check was good. I can prove i did. I thought I was being hired for a job.. Am i still liable? And how can I find a lawyer pro bono?
Please. You do not need a lawyer; and you will never get one to take your case "pro bono." Why? Because proving that you "...truly believed the check was good" does not somehow make the check good.
FYI: Whenever a check you deposit bounces you must repay all the money the bank lost, plus... Read more »
They helped us mive from GA to TN 2 years ago. We made a partial payment to them and they moved most of our stuff. They had to go back and get a few remaining possessions and have held onto them while waiting for us to pay the remaining balance. We've had financial difficulties and have discussed... Read more »
You will need to talk to a Georgia lawyer. Most States have laws for warehouse liens, etc. After awhile, the Bailee/Landlord runs an ad in the paper, then either sell or own the stored items.
You could consult with a Tennessee attorney about such a case, and some of the fundamental questions that would arise are: what damages did you sustain, and are there medical records to support those damages.

I bought a lot that previously had a trailer on it and although the trailer had been moved it was advertised as with utilities. I paid more for the utilities than the land and now discover the septic collapsed and the electric pole is no good and must be replaced. The seller says he sold me the... Read more »
Possibly- but it will mean filing a lawsuit against the seller. Intentional misrepresentation ( also called "fraudulent misrepresentation") can be the basis for rescission ( un-doing) a contract. You basically have to prove the seller lied to you, which can be difficult. consult an experienced... Read more »
We were not backwards on the car trade. The manager has admitted we were screwed by the salesmen, but will not correct the contract to reflect the MSRP. What I have read they can only charge more for MSRP when the price is publicly advertised (it was not), and according to the Federal Monroney... Read more »
I doubt you have any type of legal remedy. You might hire a lawyer to sue to Rescind the Purchase, but continuing to use the car will defeat your possible case. It appears that you ultimately agreed to the price, unless you did not sign a Bill of Sale, or a Note and Financing Agreement.
Breeder won’t refund money on sick puppy. I haven’t signed any contracts. She still has the puppy. Can I get my $500 back?
You still potentially have a breach of contract action. You could choose to file a small claim in the general sessions court for the return of your $500.

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 Bank... Read more »
The usual Statute of Limitations is six years from date of Contract Breach. That is from your last payment under the Contract. Sometimes the Contract Terms state a different SOL. You need a competent attorney to force them to prove the date of breach, and you must plead the SOL.
A judgement against me was ordered by the court on April 7th 2009. It was filed with the court clerk on May 23rd 2009. It was recorded in the Journal on June 15th 2009. Which date does the 10 year period expire on?
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... Read more »
Exactly what does that mean
Writing off a Loan is not a legal term. The Lender has apparently decided not to pursue collection activities against you and has taken a business loss on its taxes. The Note is probably still enforceable for at least 6 years from your last payment and could still be the basis of a Breach of... Read more »
Utility District Law of 1937, Tennessee, Ann. §§ 7-82-101,
You can hire an attorney to file a Declaratory Judgment Action against the County and State. It would probably be a Fifth Amendment based issue, but has little likelihood of success. The expense alone would exceed the the Sewer Charges for several years.

In the County of his death, you might file a Small Estate Affidavit. This will make you the Administrator with authority to sue her on behalf of the Estate for Conversion, Action to Recover Personal Property, and possibly request a Warrant issue for her Theft of Property (from the rightful owners,...

I've talk to their boss (landlords ex husband) and he said that he can use our water because he owns the house but he does not pay for my water bill.
If he owns the House, then yes, he can run a water hose to it anytime. You may wish request a surcharge on your Rent from the Landlord, but there is little you can do outside of leaving the Leasehold. If the water use was enormous each month, then this might be considered a Constructive... Read more »
Foreclosed Oct 2013. Am I protected by Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-5-118? 2 years vs 6 years?
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... Read more »
It had an electrical issue and the dealer I bought it from was not honoring it. I had to surrender it since I couldn't afford to fix it and couldn't pay 2 car notes. That was over 10 years ago. I received a call saying I was being sued this morning. When does the ability to sue me run out legally?
Generally the SOL of 6 years will begin from your first default under the Note. Then after Judgment, the Creditor will have 10 years to collect unless it is extended. If they are just now suing,. hire a competent attorney to plead the SOL.
it’s not on my credit report and i want to file and answr and request verification. court clerk says there is no paper to file. what do i do
General sessions court civil warrants do not require a "written" response UNLESS it is on a sworn account, which it probably is since Portfolio Recovery is a debt buyer. Tennessee has a sworn denial form here https://www.tncourts.gov/node/1436225 which you can fill out and file ahead of time. The... Read more »
