What is the name of your state? Ca
What constitutes improper proof of service? We had the sheriff serve a summons. They performed a substitute service to a tenant on the same property but listed the title of the person roommate. The service was followed by a mailed copied. The Commissioner claimed it was not a proper service because the title was roommate and the person was actually a tenant. Although the mailing address for the defendant is the same as the tenant. She rents a studio granny house above the garage. Furthermore, we had a signed statement from the tenant stating that she gave the summons to the defendant. The defendant lied to the court, "I never received anything."
Is there anyway to fight the ruling based on the persons title being incorrect?
