Tennessee Code Title 47. Commercial Instruments and Transactions § 47-25-1907

Upon payment of the repurchase amount to the dealer, the title and right of possession to the repurchased inventory shall transfer to the supplier. Annually, at the end of each calendar year, after termination or cancellation, the dealer's reserve account for recourse, retail sale or lease contracts shall not be debited by a supplier or lender for any deficiency unless the dealer or the heirs of the dealer have been given at least seven (7) business days' notice by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, of any proposed sale of the inventory financed and an opportunity to purchase the inventory. The former dealer or the heirs of the dealer shall be given quarterly status reports on any remaining outstanding recourse contracts. As the recourse contracts are reduced, any reserve account funds shall be returned to the dealer or the heirs of the dealer in direct proportion to the liabilities outstanding.
