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 .

Today I received a letter from the court, the judge agreed with my answer to the
affirmation in opposition to order to show cause that the plaintiff attorney sent
(that he opposes my motion to vacate judgment). We have a traverse hearing set for December. So I will just sit & wait for my day in court again!
I sent request for validation of this debt. but still nothing so I think I will send a second request and forward info to the court just for the record.
