Does the creditor have a security agreement listing collateral? If not, no collateral. If creditor has reduced debt to judgment, then execution on your property or garnishment of your wages or bank accounts may occur. Notice of Exempt Property at least should be filed.

Absolutely go to Court. Otherwise a Default Judgment will go down. Have proof that you paid the first month. Possibly agree to a lesser amount than sued for, but this is doubtful since you already agreed to it.

It is best to move the Court to waive fees at Sentencing. You might still move the Court to waive the costs during the Probation. You better be a perfect probationee.

Your breach of contract action is apparently against the dealer, not the warranty carrier. You will need to hire an attorney to pursue a remedy. All possible documentary evidence will be needed, including possible advertisements.TN consumer protection act might be involved also.

That sounds like Jury Duty. But call the Court Clerk and ask what it is. Make sure you call the correct Court.
