Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
What happens if I ignore summons papers? Will they resend the paperwork through mail? See below details.
Opened the door and the person dropped the paperwork front of my door. (I didn't sign anything) I picked it up, walked to his car and left the paperwork on his windshield. I wasn't the person being summons. He did take a photo of me leaving the paper work on his windshield. Problem is she does not have the paperwork. Wondering if they will resend it through mail. thanks!

If the summons is for someone else, service is by substitute service upon you. They are required to mail a copy to the other person, but she shouldn't count on it. She has 30 days from the date of service to file a responsive pleading. She can go to the local courthouse to get a copy of the lawsuit so that she might respond in a timely fashion.
