Quick background on my situation in Tennessee — any input appreciated.

piercing the corporate veil concern. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
