Kanta Keith, et al vs. Gene Howerton, et al

In this appeal from a judgment of the Knox County Circuit Court the Plaintiffs/Appellants, Kanta Keith, Darlene Keith and Walter Jackson, contest the Trial Court's ruling that the Defendants/Appellees, Gene Ervin Howerton and Easy Money, Inc., did not violate the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977 with respect to pawn transactions entered into with the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs also contest the amount of damages awarded by the Trial Court for property belonging to them which was stolen while in possession of the Defendants. We affirm in part as modified, reverse in part, and remand for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. We adjudge costs of the appeal against the Defendants, Gene Ervin Howerton and Easy Money, Inc.
