mzjazzyazz Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I am curious when you get ready to sue the CRA or the CA, how do you serve them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadhead Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 It depends.If it's state, usually the clerk will have the sheriff deliver the summons or mail it, CMRRR, to the company's registered agent.If it's filed in federal, you can have a process server serve their registered agent in your state, their principal place of business, or, as I always do, use the Waiver of Service.

adminppdotcom Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I am curious when you get ready to sue the CRA or the CA, how do you serve them?In CA, personal service is best. Or if you choose service by mail, the clerk will send it. The Sheriff in CA does not usually do civil process except for writs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzjazzyazz Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I was really wondering about out of state collection agencies. So, when you file, the clerk will take care of that for you? I won't have to worry about it will I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdouglaslee Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 It's really best to read your state's civil rules of evidence and procedure. Every single question you might have you will find in the rules. The rules will tell you in which court you can file, the different methods of service for defendants in-state and defendants out-of-state, how many days they have to answer, when you can file a motion for default judgment if they don't answer, when you can file a motion for summary judgment, when you can serve discovery requests, whether or not there are limits to the number of interrogatories and if parts of an interrogatory count as an individual interrogatory or not, and if there are limits on the number of admissions, and how to comple answers. Courts are very forgiving to pro se plaintiff's/defendants, but not when they violate the rules (misinterepreting a rule is not the same thing as violating a rule).

wert Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I sued a CA in another state.When I filed locally, they gave me the papers that needed to be served. I did a Google search and found a process server in their city. Called and got the price.Sent them the papers and sixty bucks, they served them, sent me the legal paper saying so, and I filed that with the local court house.I served the president of the company and it really pissed them off...
