Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
If someone dropped a photocopied Small Claims Court paper in my mother's hallway in a totally different state with the wrong address on the papers, do I have to respond at at?
Thank You so much.

Yes and raise the issue of lack of personal jurisdiction due to improper service.

Yes you do. However you do not need to appear you can ask to have this by a telephonic communication with the Judge at the time of the hearing. First there is no personal jurisdiction, service was improper.
