Consult a lawyer because the complaint may be barred by the 2 year statute of limitations. You may need to check the date of the complaint because there may be a "received by" date and a filing date. If the complaint was received at the clerk's office on the 27th but only entered into the system on the 30th it may be valid. Otherwise, you have a defense.
