Twice this man came to my home and walked around outside and knocked at multiple doors including a sliding glass door. He drives a sporty lower compact or mid compact BLACK Car. Maybe a 2 door.
He called my published landline from the mobile phone 800notes as listed as Lancaster/Athens, Ohio
I believe he is a private Process Server.
You do not have to open your doors for anyone! Even if you are standing inside the home looking at someone outside you do not have to say anything and most certainly do not need to open the door.
That is even for a Sheriff Deputy. If they have a search warrant they can break your door to gain access to your home.
Answer for No One that is serving court papers for a legal Complaint. If and when you finally get served you have only 27 days to answer the Complaint in the court where the Clerk of Court is attempting to serve you. The sooner you answer the sooner you will need to either consult with an Attorney to help you fight the legal Complaint. You can call your Clerk of Courts business offices anonymously (Most Counties have two separate offices. Common Pleas larger cases such as foreclosure and Municipal for smaller dollar amount claims and traffic and like violations). They will explain to you how you can go Online and do a name search for all filed cases you are named in. You can most often go Online to their websites to "Court View". Click on all open cases and go to Dockets and often you can view the actual Complaints that are attempting service to you.
You need to Google you State legal codes, such as ORC for Ohio Revised Codes. Search SERVICE and anything that clearly explains the ONLY legal ways to Serve you. Furthermore, if your Certified Letters are returned "Unclaimed” (NOT Refused) to the Clerk of Court, the law allows the Clerk to send the Summons by regular mail. If those are not returned by the Post Office (usually: Unable to Deliver) YOU have been legally Served and have 27 days to obtain an Attorney and file a response on that ongoing case.
Do not work without an attorney unless you are as knowledgeable as one do all the reseach and even then you should have one when the need arises. A good attorney will save you and save you money! That’s a fact.
Do not be afraid of the legal system - Us it and their rules to work against those trying to take advantage against you. It a game and it is fun to beat those and make them work for the little they get. Especially BANKS. I could write a book on that one - working them to death and getting them to settle for less than 10 cents on the dollar on a secured loan!!
