I don't think I was clear in that last message. I'm using a model name that is not associated with the controller. For example my controller is businesses but my model is users because I'm adding information into my users database for marketing to them.
I was under the impression that it's the controller action that handles the data and that the validation of the model is what happens to the action. Maybe what's wrong is that the validation message is for the current action of the controller and I should use a flash message instead if I was going to use different action. Is that much clearer?
