My question involves collection proceedings in the State of:Colorado
What is the purpose of having the sheriff serve court documents to someone when they have already been mailed AND RESPONDED TO?
In Feb, I received in the mail and replied to a motion in an old lawsuit from a debt collector. More than a week AFTER I replied, the county sheriff attempted to serve me with the motion I had already replied to. I wasn't home, so he left me a message. I returned his call and told him that I had already received and replied to the motion he was looking to serve. He said he would get back with the debt collector and see if they still wanted him to serve me in person. The next week, he knocked on my door and said that they told him to go ahead and serve me.
2 months later, they mailed me an amended motion which I again replied to. Almost two weeks after I mailed my reply, the sheriff served me with another amended motion that was identical to the motion I had already replied to but with a court filing date 5 days after the amended motion they mailed to me. He seemed to indicate that the debt collectors were not very nice people.
