can'tfindthesunshine Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Being served was a surreal experiance! As I opened the door, I thought he might be the electric inspector I had talked to earlier. I almost said how glad I was he could schedual me in so quick! Here's a quick explaination of my question.... I live on a road that is divided by 2 small towns and 2 counties. My place of residence is in one town and county, but they do not deliver mail, so my mailing address is in the other town (and county) The summons is for my mailing address. So am I right to file a wrong venue motion ? Do I need to go to that county court in person? its about 45 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 You would include, as a defense, that they sued you in the wrong county. You might start by sending the lawyer a letter and letting him know that. Then, if he refuses to re-serve it, you could ask for sanctions. The FDCPA syas you must be sued in your own county.
