Can I still be foreclosed on if I avoid the process server?
By admin | April 9, 2010
After Lis-Pendens has been served, a process server is generally sent to serve the homeowner with a copy of the complaint that has been filed. Â In some locations, the process server will be a constable or a sheriff’s deputy.
In some very rare situations, it is possible to delay a foreclosure by avoiding a process server. Â Before using this as a strategy, be sure to know your local laws. Â That being said, in most states it is possible for the foreclosure process to continue, with service taking the form of your summons being posted to your door, or through some alternative method of service, such as publication.
If you end up being served and don’t know about it, you may be in a worse situation for avoiding foreclosure than you would have been if you simply accepted the summons. Â If you are embarrased about being served, generally your attorney will be able to receive the summons for you.
