I was the Beneficiary over her, and also I was the power of attorney over her too... Can you tell me what my rights are on pressing charges againt him...

The power of attorney is meaningless now, it was only applicable during her lifetime. If you were the executor, you had the duty of following her will ( if any) and making funeral arrangements. However, I don't think you need any special relationship or authority to prosecute. Call your local... View More

Your claim is against your father. He authorized the work, so he should pay for it. He had apparently authority to act, so I don't think there is any fault on the part of the repair shop. They did the work as instructed, and are therefore entitled to retain possession of the vehicle until they... View More

It depends on the type of debt- but most contracts/accounts would be six years. The six years starts with a "default" or a missed payment. Making a payment extends the statute. You should consult an experienced lawyer to review the specifics of your situation.
The car shop owner and I have been in communication and he knew my circumstances. Our last conversation I told him I had financial difficulty and could not pay him and he stated when I did get the money to come in and I could get the car. Well now, I can't do either. Now the charge has... View More

If you can't pay your bill then the shop could seek a mechanic's lien. Not much to be done. Call legal aid if you feel like you're being charged unfairly. They may be able to assist.
I have msgs confirming that they owe me money and also that they are refusing to pay me. Do I need to file in small claims court or can I just press charges through the police department for theft of services?

Usually filing a civil complaint for breach of contract is the proper remedy to your issue.
And then the check didn't come for 2 months causing many additional costs I want to be compensated for.

they are supposed to get it out promptly--within short time. If you were hurt contact a member of the Tenn Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
You can ask them to pay; if they refusce contact the consumer counsel for your state AG's office.

No lawyer can give you an accurate answer to this question without reviewing the contract and documents which you signed at the closing of this transaction. If your father has a "life estate," ( the right to live there for the remainder of his life) then he is, in effect the owner of the... View More
I ended up losing my apartment because he didn't pay do I have a good chance to win this case

You should assume that this former employer is dishonest ( based on the way you have been treated thus far). In other words, he/she is likely to lie, and say that there was no employment relationship. You will need proof in court of the hours you worked and the agreed pate of pay ( hourly, daily...

Anyone can sue anyone for anything, but that doesn't make it a good case. If you are sued, make sure to respond by the applicable deadline to avoid losing rights. Consult with a local lawyer for assistance and to determine your rights and options.
