Hello.
I received a summons at my mailbox (private mailbox store, not USpost office). It was not in an envelope. It was dropped off with the guy working there. I live in a different county, but still keep my mailbox in San Francisco.
1. There is no proof of service, how do I know when the 30 days kicks in, so I know the deadline to respond?
2. What if I hadn't gone to check my mailbox for another couple weeks (not uncommon)? Could they have had a court case without me?
3. Having received the summons, should I send a DV letter, or should I just save that for discovery etc.
4.
