Asked about 1 year ago - Brooklyn, NY
Flagcard company they went to my old home where i lived with my sister they somehow opened my downstair door without a keyand went up to my sister home the server rang the bell and asked for me my sister stated he dosent live here for about a year. The server just threw the paper stating you been served. Are process servers allowed to do this now my family knows my situation im currenly correcting it with my new job and takign care of my business. Is this illegal what the server has done? At a point where im embarresed now to talk to my family all they do now is bring this up about my financial situation.
I don't think there is anythi g you can do about it at this point but the service on you is defective. This means that the court does not have jurisdiction over you. Be mindful and make certain that they don't enter a judgment against you. it is your right to be properly served and if they can't find you it may be difficult to serve you. There is also the statute of limitations, once that runs out they can no longer sue you.
