Adalida Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have been helping my parents with an answer to a summons they received from HSBC. It was turned in today in Superior Court. By our counts, they turned it in on the 16th day out of the 20 day limit for filing a response. While my mom was filing and paying to do this, she asked the clerk when the final deadline was to turn in the answer, based on their records.The clerk came back and said that the proof of service had not been filed with the courts. The clerk also said that this attorney normally sends out the summons, and then on the day of the hearing, files the proof of service also with obtaining the judgment.I knew they were playing games with my folks, but now I feel this just confirms they are. (I know, I know it's something that they would NEVER do..)I am guessing I allow time for G urstel and C hargo (broken on purpose)to get this, and then begin working on steps 2, but I am wondering, is that legal? Well, permissible per se? To not file proof of service for a case that requires it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest usctrojanalum Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Seems like a pretty standard practice to me. Filing everything at once is much more convenient for everyone involved than doing it at all different times. They allow it to be done here in NY do not see why it would not be allowed to be done elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
