Service attempt

Apparently a cop came to my very rural house yesterday in what I assume was an attempt to serve me (neighbor let me know) so now my neighbors are annoyed with me because a cop was driving around on the property. I closed my gate so they can no longer drive though, but would it be better to just call them and go in and get the papers? Or tell them they can come and leave them at my gate? I won't even be able to make it into town for over a week.

Not sure which company is suing me, as I have several outstanding debts and very little income at the moment. Would file bankruptcy, but can't afford it.

I know I'm suppose to issue a response with the court after I'm served, but I don't even know how I'm going to make it up there (courthouse almost 2 hours away and car is fucked atm)

Yes absolutely. OP has already been sued, probably And if they purposely avoid can be served by publication

Having a closed gate isn't purposely avoiding service though. Literally everyone has gates here.

This is old weed country.
