QUESTION
Can a private company process server leave documents of a civil court (collection agency that bought a credit card debt of mine) on the door mat?
Asked on Jan 18th, 2020 on Civil Litigation - Florida
More details to this question:
I wasn’t home, my husband was and even told the private process server that he wasn’t opening the door for him and that I wasn’t home (and could prove it by my Uber & Lyft Drivers App). He signed/initialed the paperwork and wrote the date (12/30/19) on the paper and left it on the front door mat. Can they do that? Or is that grounds for getting the case dismissed for improperly serving me? Please advise and thank you in advance.

Sorry but playing service games is a waste of time and expense. Your husband was home and service on a resident over 15 y/o is service on you. You will be better served, pardon the pun, addressing the legal issue directly.
