Summons from out of State?

[My~Cuz~n~Vinny~]

What happens if you ignore ,or refuse certified mail?

I have been dunned by one Debt Collector about an alleged debt from a credit card in 2011. then  it was handed to another DC 1 year later, only to be bounced back to the same DC that dunned me first in 2011. Both of these dunning letters came in 2012.The second dunning letter was from Ohio who evidently dropped the pursuit and handed it back to the original DC/Attorney here . So in essence this now makes the 4th dunn on this alleged debt in 3 1/2 years..

 

.Fast forward to Summer 2014, now a different DC/Attorney firm from has dunned me. As usual I answered and asked for paper work and denied owing anything. A couple months later I get a certified mail. I could ask the Postal employee to let me see who it came from first before signing for it. Can the DC get a judgement if certified mail is returned unsigned as delivered?
