More details to this question:
I am currently in default w/mortgage and just learned through Circuit Court website that a Lis Pendens was filed 10/17/13, but have not "physically" been served. My name listed has middle initial J which is incorrect. The name of the lender name is listed as xxxx Bank NA, but is actually xxxx Home Mortgage a Division of xxxx. Am I still required to accept the Summons when delivered or can I simply state that that is not my name or servicer. Also, when should I expect to physically be served?

Personal service is not required to foreclose a property as its an "in rem" proceeding. You should probably hire an attorney ASAP since you now know whats coming, to prepare any defenses you may choose to raise.
