Grand Jury Hands Up Indictments
A Cattaraugus County grand jury has indicted an Erie County woman accused of filing false affidavits in Cattaraugus and Erie counties.
34-year-old Annette Forte of Alden allegedly falsified business records between October 15 2007 and April 9 2008 in Cattaraugus County.
The charges are part of an ongoing investigation by State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who has sued 35 law firms and two debt collectors and has moved to have nearly 100,000 default judgments thrown out.
The investigation was launched after Kathy Baughman of Portville complained her bank account had been frozen without her knowledge last year. American Legal Process of Long Island had failed to notify her of the impending court action.
Cuomo said process servers, including Forte, did not serve notifications and left people with no notice of pending court action against them.
Cuomo brought criminal charges against APL in April.
