Attorney General Of Missouri - Jay Nixon ripoff weak useless pass the buck blind Jefferson City Missouri

Thank you Chris, your post would be helpful if I had paid using checks. I'll your advice in mind in the future if I go to small claims court.

But in this case, I obtained a Capitol One Healthcare Finance loan. Early on I contacted Capitol One to discuss a dispute & possible refund. Apparently, Capitol One Healthcare Finance loans aren't like credit cards where you can have disputes mediated & get refunds.

Capitol One told me all the could do was call the dentist & ask him to refund my money. They did & he said "No".

Last week I contacted the Better Business Bureau. They don't get involved in dental, medical or legal situations but they do get involved in customer service situations.

Since Dr. Rempala wrote in a letter to the Attorney General's office stating that he would be more than happy to refund my money, but hasn't done so, it's now a customer service issue. So, we'll see what happens with that.

One way to enforce a small claims judgement is to levy the bank account from which you made your original payment. If you have a cancelled check that you gave this person, the account info will be there. If you have the judgement and a levy order, the bank will comply.

Yes, I filed a dental board complaint. However the Missouri Dental Board is a regulating agency only. They can't get my money back. The only thing they can do is revolk Dr. Rempala's license or discipline him in other ways if they find he's violated their statutes. They won't consider any other aspects such as his lies or lack of concern for my health & welfare. It takes up to a year for them to investigate complaints as they only meet 4 times a year. Hopefully, they will find some vilolations & discipline Dr. Rempala. I'd prefer to have a refund but since he's unwilling to make good on his word, I'll take what I can get.

The form is located at the Missouri Professional Registration website:

#1. Small claims court damages are limited to $5,000.00 or less. I paid Dr. Rempala $6,000.00

#2. If I won against Dr. Rempala, I'd have to collect the judgement myself. I've been through small claims in the past.It's impossible to collect a judgement unless the defendents employer or the officials where he banks agree to help.

#3. Dr. Rempala is self-employed and the officials at his bank are more likely to side with him. Even if they did agree to help I'd nee his account number which I'm sure he's not going to give me.

Small claims is a bigger waste of time & money than the Attorney Genaral's office.

You should take Dr. Rempala to small claims court to get your money back.

You can find the petition to fill out and file at your county courthouse at:

Take Dr. Rempala's with you to court to show the judge he agreed to refund your money.
