Missing procedural document check caused a rejected court filing for a disabled veteran

Dear Dario, creator of Claude and the Rogue Claude Agents who have broken into 3 other organizations so far that we know about,

A disabled veteran used Claude Code on July 31, 2026 to help prepare a pro se Article 7 tax certiorari petition and fee waiver application, on the statutory filing deadline, challenging four years of what they believe is an unlawful property tax assessment.

Claude assisted for hours, drafting and reviewing the petition and fee waiver package, including detailed accuracy checks on real estate values, financial disclosures, and citations. Despite this, Claude never identified that a Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI, Form UCS-840) and a proposed Order were required alongside the fee waiver application for the filing to be accepted. The veteran discovered this only at the courthouse counter, three minutes before closing, when the filing was rejected. The physical office then closed for the weekend, with no way to correct it before the deadline passed.

The core failure: Claude verified the accuracy of the documents it knew about, but never independently checked whether the complete set of documents required by the court to accept the filing was correct. That structural/completeness check should have happened early in the session, not been discovered by a clerk at the last minute on a hard, non-extendable deadline.

Any financial assistance to the veteran is appreciated, as they are about to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy in an effort to keep their home and animal rescue operationally feasible.

The veteran is submitting this report on Claude's behalf so the incident is on record, and so this failure mode — verifying details without verifying completeness — gets attention.
