THIS COWARDLY COLLECTION OF LIES WAS, IN FACT, WRITTEN BY
ACRG ATTORNEY, RANDALL ACKERMAN!!
Although this rebuttal was deceptively signed “a concerned
citizen” sworn testimony in a hearing on December 4, 2009 in U.S. Federal Court
in
Houston Texas reveals that Advantage Claims Recovery
Group’s lead
attorney, Randall Ackerman
wrote the letter! Following is a
transcript of the court testimony:
Judge Jeff Bohm -(to Dr.Baxter, ProSe’ counsel)”Do
you wish to call any witnesses? I’m not requiring you; I’m just asking you…
Dr.Baxter :”Yes, your honor, I’d like to
examine Mr. Ackerman” (Ackerman takes the stand, still under oath)”Your honor,
may I approach the witness with this document” Dr.Baxter:”Mr.Ackerman, do you recognize this
document” (Baxter shows document –“RIP OFF REPORT REBUTTAL”, Exhibit 1 attached
to this motion to Ackerman) Randy Ackerman : “No, I don’t recognize that
document” Dr.Baxter : “Did you write the document”
Ackerman :” Your honor, I would invoke
attorney/client privilege”
Judge Jeff Bohm : “I’ll overrule-The question is,”
Did you write the document and there’s nothing privileged about that” Randy Ackerman:”Yes, I wrote the
document”
This sworn
testimony in U.S. Federal Court by ACRG attorney, Randal Ackerman proves that
once again Ackerman has committed perjury in a court of law. For verification
of these events you may contact the court at 713 – 250 – 5405. It is bad
enough that Ackerman testified under oath that he had never seen the Rip Off Report
document then admitted that he actually wrote it, but most of the statements he
made in this letter are false . Ackerman knowingly and maliciously made perjured
statements throughout this letter in a malicious and cowardly scheme to slander
me.
The
following is my rebuttal: Lie #1: “the information which follows is
provided in response to numerous recent Internet postings (beginning on
11/17/2009) by James C. Baxter submitted anonymously under a variety of pseudo
– individuals”.
The Truth: the postings Randall Ackerman, (partner
in Ackerman and Savage Law Offices, Dallas
TX ) is referring to were postings
made on Rip Off Report, by various doctors across the country who have been
victimized by ACRG and former Advantage Claims Recovery Group employees and
were signed as such. I have been contacted by many of these individuals and they all have
similar stories –they report that Advantage stole the identities of doctors,
forged signatures, notarized forged signatures, diverted U.S. Mail to their own
post office boxes without the doctors’ knowledge or consent, forged contracts, and forwarded doctors mail to
themselves without the doctors’ knowledge or consent. These individuals have
sent me hundreds of documents that corroborate these statements. Furthermore,
Pam Davis’ former personal assistant, contacted me and told me and told me the
following: “Pam and Richard Davis made me notarize doctors’ signatures that I
had witnessed their son, Richard Davis Jr. forge. This was standard practice at
Advantage. I saw the document that you sent to Pam Davis terminating your
contract in September of 2003, but I know for a fact that Davis has been
diverting your checks to her Po Box and has been depositing your checks ever
since” . “In fact as late as January, 2008 I saw Davis collect a check made out to you”. “When
a doctor terminates his contract, Davis
routinely continues to divert his mail and steal his checks. She has a separate
drawer where she keeps these checks and she waits several weeks to see if the
doctor discovers her theft. If the doctor does not complain after a few weeks
she goes ahead and deposits his check”. Of her own volition, this former Pam
Davis assistant signed a sworn affidavit stating the preceding facts. When
Randall Ackerman discovered that this assistant had told the truth, he immediately
filed a frivolous suit against her, threatening criminal prosecution if she
testified, thereby tampering with my main witness and intimidating her,
resulting in her refusing to testify. In fact, Ackerman scared her so badly
that she cannot be located. Furthermore, when a Texas doctor sent me a sworn affidavit that
Pam Davis had forged his signature on a contract, had diverted his mail, and
had cashed his checks with no authorization, Randall Ackerman sent the doctor a
threatening letter and now the doctor is scared to testify against these
criminals.
Lie #2:
“James C.
Baxter (Baxter) is a racist, delusional, disgraced chiropractor unable to hold
a job or make a living through normal means”
The Truth : My past history reveals that I am
certainly not a racist. In my 28 year career of treating more than 15,000
patients, the vast majority of the patients I treated were injured,
disadvantaged, non-Caucasian citizens. Furthermore, the majority of my
employees in my career have been non-Caucasian individuals.
“delusional,
disgraced TX chiropractor unable to hold a job or make a living through normal
means” -- I don’t know where that came from, but it is certainly untrue as my
patients, family, and friends would attest to.According to The Commision,I am
the largest provider of Worker’s Compensation services in Texas history;hardly
“unable to hold a job”.
Lie #3 “ He is an admitted drug user and abuser
(Morphine and Oxycontin), pathological liar, thrice divorced loner who set up
dozens of Texas corporations in a feeble attempt to disguise his real person
and to avoid a multitude of creditors in judgments which have been rendered
against him individually and/or his company’s.
The Truth: as I stated in my deposition, which
is supposedly where Randal Ackerman got these purported “sworn statements”, I
am suffering from a disabling spinal cord disease called” reflex sympathetic dystrophy”.
As I testified to in my deposition, my treating physicians have prescribed
morphine and oxycontin to relieve the severe pain that this disease causes. At
the instruction of my physicians, both I and my wife (who is an R.N.)
administered the morphine in the prescribed injectable form. I have never abused any of my prescribed
medication and contrary to Ackerman’s assertions; there is no evidence
whatsoever to support his perjured statements.
“Pathological liar”? All of the statements I
have made regarding this case are true and can be verified by the mountain of evidence myself, former ACRG employees, and
many other victimized doctors have
presented to the Court proving that Advantage Claims Recovery Group, AKA Pam
and Richard Davis have committed identity theft, mail fraud, wire fraud and
insurance fraud. These facts were verified to me by United States Governmental
Investigators. These governmental investigators told me that Pam and Richard Davis were
engaged in interstate organized crime and they were committing these crimes
against thousands of physicians and hundreds of insurance companies nationwide.
“Thrice
divorced”? I have been divorced only once after 30 years of marriage.
“loner”, I
don’t know where that statement came from. I am happily married to a wonderful
woman, have six loving, devoted children, have thousands of grateful patients
and associate with many close friends and doctors across the country.
“Set up dozens
of Texas
corporations in a feeble attempt to disguise his real person….”--the only
feeble attempt being made here is Randall Ackerman maliciously distorting the
facts and again committing perjury. He is well aware that I have not owned
“dozens of corporations”. “Dozens” by definition means more than 24,and the
records reflect that in my entire 28 year career I have never owned anywhere
near that number of corporationsThere is no evidence or testimony whatsoever
that supports these perjured statements. The records show that on advice from
my CPA, I compartmentalized the various medical specialty divisions of my
organization for accounting and tax purposes. For example, one corporation/entity
provided radiology services, whereas another corporation/entity provided
chiropractic services, whereas another corporation/entity provided durable
medical equipment, and so on.
Lie #5 - “Baxter has been investigated by
numerous law enforcement agencies, been charged with multiple crimes and as
been placed on criminal probation”
The Truth: a routine comprehensive audit was
performed on one of my divisions which were conducted by the Texas Workers’
Compensation Commission, who according to Texas Law was required to use local law enforcement
agencies to collect, and audit my medical files. Following an exhaustive detailed
audit of thousands of my medical files which contained tens of thousand
documents, the agencies mentioned found not
one single violation. I was never charged with any infraction whatsoever.
Lie #6: “in February, 2003, Baxter
approached Advantage at their corporate offices in Dallas , Texas .
Before its initial meeting with Baxter, Advantage had never worked with or
heard of Baxter.”
The truth: This is a blatant lie. I initially met Richard Davis at a
chiropractic license renewal seminar in Houston ,
Texas . He had rented a booth to
advertise his business, Advantage Claims Recovery Group. The court records
reveal that this is the typical manner that Advantage recruits unsuspecting
doctors into their fraudulent rebilling scam.
Lie #7- “Advantage offers two compensation options
to medical professionals who seek its collection services. If requested,
Advantage will enter into a contingency fee agreement with the professional in
which Advantage and the professional split (approximately 50/50) the money
recovered on the files submitted to Advantage
by the professional ( “option 1”). Alternatively Advantage will purchase the
professionals receivables for cash (“option 2”). The professional may choose
either option which are listed and described in no particular order. Baxter
chose “option 1”and signed a contract with Advantage which described the
obligations of each party”.
The truth: The record and sworn testimony reflects that this is a total premeditated
lie. At the time I met Advantage they did not offer an “Option 2”. They only
recently began offering that option. The
other lie is that I signed a valid contract with Advantage. In sworn testimony
in his deposition an ex employee of Advantage testified that I signed a blank
document he presented to me and he later filled in the details of the purported
contract around my signature!
Lie #8 “Advantage began collecting on the Baxter files and sent
Baxter the required monthly reports, copies of the payments received and Baxter’s
share of the money collected…”
The Truth: My agreement with Advantage was
that they would catalog my files only
and list the patient names, insurance company’s names and balances and that we would meet at a later date to
discuss their proposed involvement (if any) in my collections. I told them that
I was rebilling insurance companies through my own collection entity,
Enterprise Medical Solutions,Inc. and we agreed that they would take no action
whatsoever on rebilling my accounts until we met and finalized an agreement.
Instead of honoring this agreement, Advantage began rebilling and collecting
checks made out to me on all of my accounts! Despite numerous requests by me
and my attorney that they cease and desist rebilling my patient accounts, they
ignored these demands and refused to send me the detailed accounting reports my attorney had requested on multiple
occasions. Dozens of physicians across
the nation have contacted me and have sent me sworn statements and verifying
documents that they had the same negative experience with Advantage.
Furthermore, Advantage acknowledged in a sworn motion they filed with 164th
District Court in Houston Texas that “Baxter terminated the contract
with them in September, 2003. “The court records and sworn testimony prove that
Advantage ignored the contract termination and continued to rebill my patient
accounts, divert my insurance checks to their PO Box and keep all of the money
that they fraudulently diverted for the
next five years. Furthermore, an investigation conducted by the United States
Postal Inspectors, the Texas Department of Insurance and by the fraud
investigations unit of Zurich Insurance Company revealed that Pam and Richard
Davis are still illegally diverting and stealing my mail to this day!
Lie #10 : “Baxter also alleged that
Advantage and its principals are members of and are connected to the Russian
and Nigerian mafia.”
The Truth: My attorney and I have met with the
U.S. Postal Inspector, and two fraud investigators employed by the fraud
division of Zurich Insurance Company on several occasions. They informed us
that they had conducted an undercover investigation of Advantage Claims
Recovery Group and Pam and Richard Davis. They told us that “Pam and Richard
Davis are engaged in mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft and insurance fraud
and that. “It is not a question of if they are going to prison, but the question
is for how long”.
Lie #11- “Baxter also testified under oath
that he is a professional race car driver. When pressed, he could not produce a
racing license….”
The Truth: I don’t know how this is remotely
connected to this case. The truth is that I have been racing since I was twelve
years old. I turned professional when I was eighteen and have driven
practically anything that has wheels on it. My son and I have raced
professionally in several different types of race cars as team in the United States , Mexico ,
and Canada .
I do not normally take my racing license to depositions.
Lie #12- “all of Baxter’s attorneys are
reputable and have been very capable. Each has withdrawn and dismissed Baxter
because of his fabrications. None of Baxter’s
attorneys charged Baxter for their services to him”.
The Truth: I have spent tens of thousands of
dollars of my own money in my exhaustive attempt to bring the criminals Pam and
Richard Davis to justice. Randall Ackerman is again knowingly and willfully
committing perjury. I have personally produced to Ackerman documentation showing
more than $10,000.00 billed me by my attorneys.
Lie #13- “in 2008, the court ruled that Baxter
failed to present any evidence in support of his scurrilous claims against
Advantage. The court signed numerous summary judgment orders in favor of
Advantage and against Baxter dismissing all of Baxter’s claims against Advantage.
In other words, Baxter lost!!! The sole
claims remaining in the current litigation are Advantages’ claims against
Baxter for breach of contract”.
The Truth: Randal Ackerman is lying
again. Although I have produced an enormous amount of irrefutable
evidence that proves Pam and Richard Davis are criminals, my attorney at the
time neglected to file evidentiary documents timely despite my numerous reminders
and demands that he do so. Although the evidence existed and had been provided
to him by me, he did not produce the evidence on the date that it was due. I
was prevented from producing the evidence myself because I was represented by
an attorney, or I would have done so. Because the court did not receive the
evidence timely it had no choice but to rule against me on most of my causes of
action. However, the court ruled in my favor and against the defendants Pam and
Richard Davis on my Texas Theft Liability cause of action. This cause of action
remains in the fact to this day. Ackerman has filed at least 6 responses to
this cause of action. Therefore Randall Ackerman’s statement” the sole claims
remaining in the current litigation are Advantages’ claims against Baxter for
breach of contract” is an obvious
premeditated lie.
Lie #14-“ if the reader desires additional
information copies of court orders or information in support of the above,
included but not limited to the notarized signature of James Baxter as well as
a copy of Baxter’s Texas driver’s license, you may contact the 164th District
Court of Harris County Texas (case number 2005 – 37518)
The Truth: This is a ridiculous statement. The
164th District Court is prevented by law from discussing this case with anyone
but me and the defendants. The Court certainly is not going to give out a copy
of my driver’s license! If the reader desires information regarding this case
should contact the Harris County District Clerk’s Office and ask for customer service.
Their number is 713-755-5734. Ask them to walk you through the process of reading
all of the documents that have been presented in this case. This service is
free I invite you to read these documents,examine the evidence and come to your
own conclusions regarding the facts of this case. If you want to communicate
with me directly,or if you have had similar experiences with Advantage, I
