    Post Was Summons Served Correctly?

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of Alabama.

    This is how I received a summons. A neighbor down the street got the summons. I don't even know this neighbor. Never met her. She gave it to two children ages 9 and 11. They brought it to another neighbor. This neighbor gave it to me. Was this summons served correctly?

    Need advice.

    Thanks for your help.

    No, it was not.

    You can raise a defense in court of improper service.

    Unfortunately if you do not answer, they will get a default judgment and then you will have to try and gtet it set aside. Even though summons was improper, your best option is to answer even though that waives your defense of lack of service.
