Debt Defense in New York City: Proper Lawsuit Notification

A consumer must be notified that a lawsuit is being filed through “proper service.” Per New York law, there are three ways to constitute proper service, generally;

· Summons delivered to you personally

· Summons delivered to someone at you home/business, followed by a mailing

· Summons posted to your door, followed by a mailing
