QUESTION
Can court summons be served to someone other than myself?
Asked on Jun 17th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Arizona
More details to this question:
I live in AZ, had some financial difficulties and a credit card charge off in 2008 for around $5k. I was living at my parents' house at the time and moved out in 2009. Everything since (including home and auto refinance) is in my current address and on my credit bureau (along with employer info). I was notified on Friday that a summons was served at my parents' house to my cousin who is living there. The papers were filed with the court 6/12 and served 6/14. Is it legal for them to serve someone other than me without making any effort to contact me either at home or current employer? Now I'm completely embarrassed as my entire family knows about my previous financial difficulties. Do I have any recourse?
