Coffee County Sheriff Department, Deputy Petty Failuer police to deliver legal documents cost local resident THOUSANDS $$$ New Brockton Alabama

In 2001, SOMEBODY applied for financing for several Hot Tubs, and without my knowledge OR consent, used MY name, and personal data on the application.

Textron approved the financing without even TRYING to verify the information provided on the credit application...

They could have EASILY discovered that the application was an act of fraud if they had simply tried calling the phone number the applicant provided.

In 2003, when they tried to sue me for the funds, they first managed to find my HOME phone number, which was not on any of the paperwork or application they had on file...

I gave them my mailing address, and they sent me copies of all the paperwork they had my name on. I then contacted them notifying them that they didn't have MY signature on ANY documents in their posession except for on the postal signature slip I had to sign before the mailman would hand me the papers Textron had sent me.

After they sent me the paperwork they claimed to have my signature on, and therefore got verification that the address I gave them WAS my CORRECT address, one of their "recovery specialists" called me and appologized for having previously sent notices to the address given on the application, then to the address the postal service reported as being that person/businesses new address, and admitted that they NEVER previously had MY data

About 2 weeks later, they filed to sue me, and put the address from the original Textron application as the address the Summons was to be served to.

They then took advantage of the CROOKEDNESS of the Coffee County, Alabama Sheriff department, who was supposed to serve me with the summons.

The Summons was addressed to a location I have NEVER lived... But instead of following the letter of the law, and returning the summons to the court signed by the deputy with note on summons stating "Defendant is NOT LOCATED at the address provided." (which, he legally should have done.)... The sheriff Deputy (Sheriff Deputy Petty) instead signed that he had "personally served" me with the summons AT the listed address!!!

When I contacted Petty, he admitted that he had never served me with ANY legal documents, and further stated that his boss told him to mark the paperwork that way because if the paper is turned over to the court saying it was served, the Sheriff'd department gets paid for serving it... But if they can't serve the summons for some reason, then the Sheriff Department doesn't get the money either.

Textron then placed a garnishment on my pay, and thereby STOLE literally just a few pennies short of $20,000 from me.

The only way I ever found out about the court action was by noticing the garnishment on my paycheck, asking my employer about it, and THEY gave me copies of the garnishment paperwork.


I've contacted literally DOZENS of attorneys about this matter... They ALL told me that since the Sheriff Deputy OBVIOUSLY committed Perjury when he signed the statement turned into the court stating that he "personally served" me with the summons, at the address I hadn't been in for several years... My ONLY chance of recovery would be to find an attorney willing to file perjury charges against the sheriff department AND Deputy Petty.

But most of the attorneys simply stated they don't handle cases like that... And the FIVE attorneys who stated they handle cases like this also turned down my case... ALL FIVE stating the SAME THING... "If it had happened anywhere ELSE within our area, we'd be with you all the way, and could almost guarantee 100% recovery of the loss you suffered. But with Coffee County's reputation, We won't even consider touching a case involving somebody wearing any Law Enforcement badge in THAT county."
