That’s crazy… so how do I avoid getting served?

[ericlloyd]

If you don't answer the door eventually they will give up and then in weeks or months they will close the case, this is really bad because you don't get forced to pay or garnished, and in so many years the debt expires. you definitely don't want that. It's recommended to hire an attorney, pay more, and if you lose the case pay through garnishment. Got it?

Thank you for the clarification! It's insane that people won't just take the too much misinformation about this!

Due Process is violated if not served properly.

What if you never got served? And there was a court case

[AJFirestar]

When i saw the litle i was like 'what kind of sleazy advive is this?" It is good advice.
Can't hide from Justice!

Can they come inside your house and leave them outside your bedroom door???

[NikitaKyndt]

Another way is to publish it in the paper (online or otherwise). Don't play games or legal proceedings will start without you defending yourself. She's right, you're pretty much a fool to think you can avoid legal action by avoiding getting served papers.

What if a person is out of the country for several months, and is unaware of the Service of Process, regardless of how it was accomplished?

Some process servers came outside the gate at my work to serve my boss. They said the wrong name as they tried to hand it to me so I said sorry wrong person and walked away so she threw the papers over the fence and said he’d been served and I told her idk who tf she’s looking for and I’m not going to do her job hunting then down but she’s littering on my property. She then told me to give her her papers back then and I told her “reach through the fence” a started walking away. She then started yelling and screaming and saying I was a lying btch and I was his wife and opened the gate and came stomping in to grab the papers and started heading for the front door of the house so I got on the phone with the police and told them loudly so she was aware that I had an agressive black female trespassing and I was armed and yelled out the license plate number. She quickly went back out the gate and back to her car with her papers yelling if I was going to shoot her. I told her yes I will if you come back on this property. Then I let the gaurd dogs out and went back to work. I guess she needs you to train her lol

Alabama law is awful. My girlfriend has a crazy ex that was stalking and harassing her and he just kept refusing to be served so her restraining order never went through.

I have served over 25, 000 docs. Some subjects ATTEMPT TO claim they were not served. BUT, NJ is a One Party Consent State for Recording Video. In other words, only ONE PERSON in the video needs to be aware, which s me. So I record ALL SERVES. Try to tell a Judge that you havent been served when I have you on video :) A Picture is worth a thousand words... but a Video is Infinite

how do you file a motion to a party you are already suing for divorce when you are pro se and they have an attorney?

[Darknesslight]

There is a reason why there is a statute of limstations on process of service. Because people can avoid service and some do One sometimes even two years. If a judge cannot determine your address associations or work, A judgment for any given thing, for example, replevin isn't gonna make a difference because they can't find the property.

What's the point then of hand delivering papers why is it even an option if not for a specific reason

[johnnydnj]

Perfect advice! I have over 20k serves. You have GOOD Process Servers and LAZY Process Servers. For every evading subject/defendant that believes they are "slick"... I AM SLICKER. :) In NJ, we can serve substitute service to any person residing in the home as long as they are over 14... this is actually a very common thing since many people are at work during the daytime hours. Many people also believe that if they dont touch the papers, they are not served. LOL Once I confirm your identity, even if you slam the door on me.. YOU ARE SERVED. I will simply leave them on the door or porch. Yo might as well just accept service. The easiest trick I use when I KNOW someone is home and evading is I leave a card taped on the door, I leave and slowly circle the block, hide up the street with the house in view.. and wait until I see movement. Then rush up. For some strange reason they are always heading to their car LOL Now they are stuck in the open. Im never mean or aggressive.. always polite. I cant tell you how many times when they see them mouth the words "sh&t" because they know they are caught.

Obviously servers will say it's best to receive the papers..

[NeonKue]

I want this as a temp job just so I can tell people “You just got served!” 😎
