Particularly, upon receiving valid disputes from those buyers, the Firm has agreed to refund disputed amounts paid by patrons and costs and charges that accumulated on those amounts that customers paid, waive disputed account balances and update or remove the disputed info from clients credit reports. The related enforcement action involves a court action the solicitor General's Office filed in Sep 2008, in which the Commonwealth alleges that Gary Anusavice, a dentist whose license to practice was revoked by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry in 2005, and fourteen other people and entities violated the Massachusetts Buyer Protection Act regarding their operation of Coast Dental, Range Dental and
Sierra Dental. The complaint alleges the accused lured patients in with false promoting, deceived them by providing shoddy or unfinished treatment, signed them up for financing to pay for that treatment, the provisions of which weren't correctly disclosed, if at all, and then, once patient grumbles escalated, deserted the practices only to start the scheme anew some place else or under a different practice name.
