1 - Ignore it and risk a default judgment.

2 - Call the plaintiff (or his attorney if he has one) and arrange to accept service.

3 - File something with the court bringing the error to the court's attention, send copy to plaintiff.

Bottom line, you know you are being sued. If you have any defense at all, you'll need to preserve your right to raise it. If you have no defense, might as well just let it go to default because they'll eventually get a judgment anyway.
Would they be able to get a judgement even though I was technically NOT served, and the paperwork clearly states that? Would they just see the mistake and not bother to look at the paperwork?

Forgive my ignorance, perhaps I'm not using the right terminology. I saw the summons was issued on the clerk of court website. I also saw that they had attempted to serve me a few times but were unable to. There was a court date scheduled. I missed it. The process server filed a paper stating they were unable to serve me, yet on the case docket listing on the website it says summons served. If I click the attached image (where it says "Summons Served") it is the process servers paper that clearly states summons NON served. Seems like a mistake, but I do not know about how it works.
