Can a process server say he's a "friend" to your neighbor?
Yes they can -- in fact it is extermely common -- and that is what they are suppose to do. What they can't do is ( in the case of a debt) tell people they are debt collectors to third parties for privacy reasons. So they cant say "we are debt collectors and person X owes money" What they can do is ask your neighbour and friends if they know where you are living , or if they have you contact number -- and they can leave contact details ( for your neighbors to pass on)
Process Server stalking/harassment scare?
My father is being sued over multiple business matters, and there are process servers trying to serve him court documents. He has been out of town for the past few weeks, and we (my mother and I) have told the servers this, but they think that we are lying and end up asking us lots of questions. They ask for where he is, what his phone number is, etc., and we do not want to give that information out, and we repeatedly tell them that but they continue asking us our relation to him and other questions. They also come at random times of the day and run up to us as we are leaving home, which has gotten us pretty scared because we feel as though our home is being watched. Last weekend, a server came to my house and my mom was cleaning out the garage. He said my mothers name repeatedly and my mom was uncomfortable as he approached the garage.He kept saying that he knew who my mom was and asked (by name) where my dad was. She said he wasn't home and he began to give her attitude, and called her a liar. Then she ignored him and went back cleaning, and he tossed the papers on the trunk of her car, took a picture, and then left. My mom felt really uncomfortable because she thought he was more threatening than anyone else and he even used profanity and was rude to her. Two nights ago, another server came and banged on our door. This was at about 9 pm, so my mom and I were just watching tv together. We never answer the door if we don't know who is coming, especially if my dad isn't home. He proceeded banging on the door for about 20 minutes, and my mom and I started getting really scared. We feel like prisoners in our own home! This last tidbit is the most awkward. My family does not want people to know that we are being sued, seeing as how that is an embarassing and private matter. However, a process server showed up AT MY BEST FRIENDS HOUSE this morning. Why would a server come to the friend of the daughters house? This is becoming terrifying for my mom and I, and we feel as though we are being followed/stalked/harassed. Is what is going on legal? Is it right to make us feel like we are constantly being watched? Please Help with advice!!
Can a process server talk to my neighbor regarding my case?
There is no process server code of ethics. They're delivering a public document, so anything they tell your neighbors is a public record. All they have to do is not lie.
Can a process server have my neighbor sign a summons?
Probably not. Not unless an ordinary person could reasonably draw the conclusion that she was a co-occupant. But here's the problem you'll face: Obviously, you are aware of the suit. Even though service was probably not proper, you're better off just dealing with it. If you ignore it, the court will enter a default judgment against you, allowing whoever's suing you to garner your wages, place a lein on your bank accounts or other property, intercept any tax refunds, etc. You'll then end up having to go tocourt anyway in order to overturn the default, and that's more work than fighting it now (especially if the court finds out you knew about the suit but blew it off). Your second option is to file a motion to quash service, since it wasn't proper. All that's gonna do is delay things while they serve you again. And btw, if you think you can just dodge service & avoid the whole thing, despite what's portrayed in movies/TV most jurisdictions allow alternate methods of service besides personally handing the documents to the defendant. Meaning, you WILL eventually be served & the court will not look kindly on the fact that you intentionally dodged service in an attempt to avoid dealing with the situation. Your best option is to respond to the suit as if you had been properly served. Note in your response that service was improper, so that the court is aware of the process server's falsehood. But then proceed like normal. Chances are, you'll gain some favor with the court by showing you're willing to deal with the case like a civilized adult even though the other side might be trying to pull some shenanigans.
Can a process server leave legal documents on your front door?
It depends on what state you reside in. In some jurisdictions, the process server is permitted to resort to "nail and mail" service at your last known place of residence after they have attempted to serve you personally after due diligence or reasonable application. That usually means they tried at least 3 times, on 3 different days of the week at different times of the day. If they can't get you, then they can tape the document to your door and mail a copy in an envelope bearing the legend "personal and confidential" within 24 hours of posting it on your door. It varies from state to state, so be more specific in your question.
Can an officer serving me papers tell my neighbors what he's doing?
Yes they can. First: court cases are public record; anyone can inquire about them. Second: Cops are not your lawyers, so they have no obligation towards you in terms of privacy. Third: Any officer trying to serve you court paper has the right to ask the neighbors for your whereabouts. As for how long they have to attempt to locate you: technically they could be at your doorstep every day until they find you (there is no expiration date since then everybody would try to hide.) But in real life, you are considered served if they let or mail the papers at your last known address. If you don't show up in court then you either get an arrest warrant (in a criminal case); in the case of a civil case, the other party wins by default (many people avoid being served but still the court case move forward without them.)
Can the process server bang on your door extremely loudly for twenty minutes,and disturb all the neighbors ?
Sure he can. Someone could call the police and they might come and arrest him for disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct, though that is unlikely. At the most they'd probably just ask him to leave. I could come bang on your door for 20 minutes if I want to.
A CPU is a special type of processor! It is kinda like saying all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs!The word “processor” means, as the name suggests, something which can process something. The term is usually used in the context of electronics hardware, to describe a component.The abbreviation “CPU” means “Central Processing Unit”, which is a certain type of processor. AS the name suggest, the CPU is the central processor in a computer system, which basically controls the rest of the system, besides doing its own processing.Processor is just the overall definition, which has many sub-categories, such as……CPU (Central Processing Unit)GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)And moreMost people actually mean a CPU when they just say processor, especially when talking about building computers and gaming.All CPUs are processors, but not all processors are CPUs!
