In support thereof, Plaintiff states as follows: --- ### **PARTIES AND JURISDICTION** 1. Plaintiff **[Your Name]** is a resident of **[Your County], Florida**. 2. Defendant **Florida Department of Revenue (DOR)** is a state agency responsible for enforcing child support laws. 3. Defendant **[State Attorneys Name]** is an agent of the State of Florida responsible for representing DOR in child support enforcement proceedings. 4. Defendant **[Hearing Officers Name]** is a judicial officer responsible for ruling on child support cases. 5. Defendant **Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)** is responsible for issuing and suspending drivers licenses. 6. Defendant **Credit Reporting Agencies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and others)** are responsible for maintaining credit records and reporting child support arrears. 7.

Venue is proper in **[Your County]**, as the events giving rise to this Complaint occurred within this jurisdiction. --- ### **FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS** 9. Plaintiff was **wrongfully incarcerated** for contempt of court due to non-payment of child support **while receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)**, which prohibits such enforcement actions. 10. After Plaintiff's release, the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) sent a letter confirming that Plaintiff was **TANF-eligible during the time of incarceration**, proving the enforcement action was unlawful. 11. During a court hearing, the State Attorney reviewed official records and **confirmed that Plaintiff was on TANF**, yet no corrective action was taken to rectify the wrongful imprisonment. 12. Instead, the Hearing Officer **dismissed the evidence** and denied Plaintiffs request to vacate wrongful arrears and purge payments. 13. The court improperly **merged Plaintiffs case** with a previous case despite procedural irregularities, including failure to provide **notice or an opportunity for a DNA test**. 14. The court admitted in open proceedings that it had the **correct mailing address** for Plaintiff but **intentionally sent legal notices to an incorrect address**, resulting in a default judgment and subsequent arrest warrants. 15. As a result of these wrongful actions, Plaintiff suffered **financial loss, emotional distress, unlawful imprisonment, and damage to his credit report**. 16. Defendants **sent automatic suspension orders** to the DMV, causing loss of employment opportunities and transportation restrictions. 17. Despite Plaintiffs financial hardship, the DMV imposed **daily or weekly fees**, making it **impossible to reinstate the drivers license**, which further prevented employment and financial recovery. 18. Defendants **reported child support arrears to credit agencies**, negatively impacting Plaintiffs credit score, making it harder to obtain housing, loans, and other financial resources. 19. These actions by Defendants **violate due process rights** and amount to a modern form of **debtors' prison** by criminalizing poverty. --- ### **CAUSES OF ACTION** #### **COUNT I FALSE IMPRISONMENT (FLORIDA STATE LAW)** 20. Defendants unlawfully incarcerated Plaintiff despite his **TANF status**, which prohibits such enforcement actions. 21. The wrongful imprisonment resulted from **gross negligence and failure to follow proper legal procedures**. 22.

Defendants knowingly used an **incorrect mailing address**, resulting in an **uncontested default judgment**. 25. Defendants actions constitute **fraudulent process service** and **denial of fundamental fairness** under the U.S. and Florida Constitutions. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff seeks declaratory relief invalidating the judgments, compensatory damages, and punitive damages in the amount of **$[amount]**. --- #### **COUNT III NEGLIGENCE AND GROSS MISCONDUCT** 26.

Defendants sent automatic **drivers license suspension orders** to the DMV without proper consideration of Plaintiffs **financial inability to pay**. 30. DMV imposed **daily or weekly fees**, making reinstatement impossible and restricting employment opportunities. 31. These actions constitute **a violation of fundamental fairness and due process rights**. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff seeks **injunctive relief preventing automatic license suspensions**, declaratory relief, and **damages in the amount of $[amount]**. --- #### **COUNT V UNLAWFUL CREDIT REPORTING AND FINANCIAL HARM** 32. Defendants **reported child support arrears to credit agencies**, treating them like debt without considering Plaintiffs inability to pay. 33. Defendants actions caused **significant harm to Plaintiffs credit score**, preventing access to housing, loans, and financial stability. 34. These actions violate **the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and due process protections**. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff seeks **damages for financial harm**, removal of unlawful credit reporting, and court-ordered corrective action. --- ### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF** WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court: A. **Declare** that Defendants violated Plaintiffs constitutional and legal rights; B. **Vacate** wrongful arrears and default judgments obtained through improper service; C. **Award** compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of **$[amount]**; D. **Grant** any other relief deemed just and proper by this Court.
