Complaint narrative:
Report of Fraud, Theft by Deception, and XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Dana & Pariser Co. , L.P.A . 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX XXXX x XXXX ( Telephone ) XXXX ( XXXX  ) XXXX Narrative of Events : On XX/XX/XXXX I became aware that my wages were being garnished without legal basis. Upon further investigation, I determined that Dana & Pariser Co., L.P.A., a law firm located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ohio XXXX, had obtained a fraudulent court judgment against me under case number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  To date, the firm has garnished around {$1500.00} from my wages, which I regard as an act of theft by deception. The firm is now attempting to collect an additional amount approximating {$18000.00} based on this invalid judgment. 

The judgment stems from a fabricated claim that I entered into a contract with a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a vehicle rental. I have never entered into any such contract, nor have I rented a vehicle from this entity. The actual debt appears to relate to a woman residing outside of Ohio who was involved in a XXXX vehicle accident while driving a rented XXXX XXXX ; I was not present in the incident. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX at the law firm via email at XXXX. In this correspondence, I informed him that I was not the individual responsible for the debt and that the judgment was predicated on erroneous information. I explicitly requested documentation, XXXX XXXXidentifying himself as an Aide to Counsel but not an attorneywas unable to provide any rental agreement. I further requested on three separate occasions that he cease the garnishment proceedings, but he refused, stating that collections would continue regardless. 

Additionally, I was not properly served notice of any court proceedings, as the firm does not have my current address ( they are aware of that ) and used an outdated and incorrect address associated with a company where I no longer work ( and which is no longer active ). This information appears to have been obtained from an outdated online search dating back to XXXX. By proceeding with the lawsuit without valid service, the firm violated my due process rights and submitted false representations to the court under oath. 

I believe these actions constitute the following criminal offenses under applicable Ohio law : Theft by Deception : The firm has unlawfully obtained around {$1500.00} from me through deceptive means and is pursuing an additional {$18000.00}. 

Fraud : The firm intentionally misrepresented facts to secure an improper judgment to obtain {$18000.00} Perjury : False information was submitted to the court under oath to obtain money.

Criminal Impersonation/Identity Fraud : My personal information was misused to initiate legal action for a debt I do not owe, as the firm could not proceed against the actual parties involved in the XXXX accident. 

I respectfully request that an investigation be initiated into this matter, including a review of the law firms practices and communications. 
Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX
