Summary of Complaint : 1. Filing False Affidavits : In a sworn affidavit submitted to the court, Hayt, Hayt & Landau claimed I was served court case documents at a location that i had intended to built a home but never built or lived on. The address cited in the affidavit is vacant land with no structure and has never been inhabited. I do not reside there nor have I ever received any service at that location. 

The affidavit also alleges that a neighbora " white male between XXXX, '' unknown to meconfirmed my identity. This raises serious concerns regarding the falsification of information, as I have no association with any neighbor at the described location, and it appears my private details were improperly disclosed. 

XXXX. Violation of Privacy Protection Laws : The affidavit indicates that my personal information was discussed with a purported " neighbor '' without my consent. This constitutes a violation of federal and state privacy laws, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which prohibits the disclosure of personal information to third parties. 

3. Misrepresentation and Lack of Transparency : At the time of this complaint, I have not been provided any direct information about the case despite multiple inquiries. I only became aware of this matter through calls from attorneys marketing their services and details obtained from the court clerk. 

XXXX. Evidence of Absence : In XX/XX/year>, I left out of the country for a family emergency and traveled via XXXX XXXX. This can be easily verified and serves as proof that I was not in the location they claim to have served me. 


Applicable Laws Violated : 1. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : Section 807 ( 10 ) : Prohibits the use of false or deceptive means to collect a debt.

Section 805 ( b ) : Prohibits the communication of personal information to third parties without consent.

2. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ( Rule 4 ) : Requires service of process to be completed at the correct address and prohibits the submission of false affidavits of service. 


XXXX. State Laws on False Affidavits and Privacy Violations : Georgia law ( O.C.G.A. XXXX ) : Criminalizes filing false statements or documents in court. 


Impact : Filing false documents and violating privacy laws denies me the rights to a fair trial, undermine the sanctity of the court and consumer protection rights. Attorneys and law firms must be held to the highest standards of legal ethics, ensuring accuracy and compliance with applicable laws. 

Relief Sought : 1. Immediate investigation into the practices of Hayt, Hayt & Landau P.L. and Attorney XXXX XXXX. 


XXXX. Sanctions against the firm and attorney for filing false affidavits.
