Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
who can receive the summons?
can the credit card companies leave
the summons to my friends or my
friend's families even though I don't
live with them? One of my friends
got the summon from his roommate
tho the apartment is not under his
name but the summon is still valid.

Re: who can receive the summons?
Assume the service will be treated as valid. Consult an attorney about responding to the lawsuit within 30 days. If the lawsuit was filed by a collection agency, or the debt is more than 4 years old, you may have good defenses. If you think you have a good defense to the lawsuit, do not file a responsive pleading without consulting an attorney first.
Re: who can receive the summons?
The summons should be delivered to your last known address. However, since you received the summons anyway, I would suggest you respond to the lawsuit by filing an answer asap. You will waste time and money challenging process at this point.
