You don't have a legal problem. You have a T-Mobile problem. There is nothing to report, there's no place to report, and there's no remedy for what you call corporate greed. T-Mobile does not need to unlock the phone you bought on whatever contract it was. You have the option of... View More

That is the Statutory SOL of 6 years for breach of contract (to pay here). However the contract can modify the SOL. And the SOL in TN runs from the last payment, not the date of contract execution.

If you did not receive instruction to install the 1/4" board, I don't see that you are at fault. I'm guessing they are refusing to pay you for your work. If they do this, call a lawyer who practices construction law in your area.

It appears that the contract will be breached by your working in an ER. Hire an attorney to read the contract and listen to the prospective new jobs. You may get sued in any event and have an attorney ready to go.
