West Orange County Municipal
Court
8141 13th Street
Westminster, CA 92683
Small Claims Case No. 321964
Date Filed: February 11, 1998
Plaintiff:
Debra R. Miller
Defendant:
Animal Critical Care Center, Inc.
DBA: All-Care Animal Referral Center
NCSR Inc.
Plaintiff's Claim: Defendant quoted $1,500 for surgery on pet, pet
deceased. Mix-up in picking up pet remains. Defendant refuses to answer any
attempts to contact them.
Resolve:
All-Care paid off out of court.
I was never given a death
certificate for my dog. I received it via the fax from the collection agency
along with a revised bill showing the dates of transfusions and services
including giving my dog PVC and protein on 11-10-97. Two months after he died,
and a blood transfusion the day I took him in and admitted him before he ever
had surgery.
I was also notified by certified mail a month and a half (Oct. 28) after my
dog died that if I didn't pick-up his remains, he would be cremated. My dog's
remains were picked up on 9-11-97, the day he died. At least this is what I
prefer to think since we did not open the burial box.
Please see attached documents to support all this.
To the best of my knowledge and research there have been a minimum of 5
violations here, probably a lot more; negligence, incompetence, fraud or
deception, record keeping and failure to keep premises clean.
