is this legal

on friday my son found a summons for court to my husband from a collections lawyer in are mailbox no envelope ! is this legal? I thought you had to be surved in person or reg mail! dose anyone No ! I live in NY .

I found a summons in my mail box in May, This was from a lawyer who was now representing a collections company that had bought my account from 2003.
(I thought this was paid when I filled out the Insurance forms that where provided by the credit card company when I was sick). I filled out an answer form with my side of story and filed it with the court .Sent a certified copies to the lawyer of the answer form as well as a validation of debt letter. I received my court date in the mail on the first of June , (Court date set for August ) Thought well I will get my day in Court! Well Friday I receive a letter from the Lawyers office with 3 copies of stipulation discontinuing action form . Anyone Familiar with This ? I would like more information on stipulation discontinuing action .

Well Judge signed Paperwork
judge marks off " Affidavit of service by mail " that works for me!
so I will have the husband send it out & fill affidavit have it notarized & wait for return receipt ,Attach to Affidavit send back to court! then wait for court date!
so while I wait I need to send out answer to summons (court, Lawyer ) & Validation of debt .

The quite before the storm! I don’t quit, no what to make of it!
I signed up FICO to keep an eye on my credit!
Today I get an alert LVNV Funding ,LLC (The company sueing me )removed everything from my credit report!!!
That is odd because I just sent out my “Validation of debt letter’! No green card yet! We will just have to wait & see!!

Today in the mail I received
"Affirmation in opposition to order to show cause"
I am thinking that this is the plaintiff attorney sending
me notice that he opposes
The motion to vacate judgment.
can anyone give me more info on his !
Maybe a small crash course
I am going to court on Thursday (9/17/09)

"Affirmation in opposition to order to show cause"

Judy , Mr. Yet !
would you happen to know if I have to reply to this in writing?
or is this just formalities in letting me know that they oppose!
I have court on 9/17 and I received this just yesterday.
