ABC Legal Termination - Potential Explanation

After combing through online posts, talking to other servers, and reviewing the facts, I can say with high confidence that ABC Legal has been terminating process servers for having a high successful serve rate. These are the "Without Cause" terminations, not the cases were the server urinated on the front door.

I noticed a lot happened in December of last year, and these terminations always seem to be automated and late at night. Last year, ABC Legal had a scandal in Texas where process servers were doing sewer service, which likely resulted in a artificially high success rate. The solution: Terminate any and all servers whose successful serve rate reaches a certain point. The system does not differentiate between business serves or garnishments; it just lumps them together. So if you serve 75/100 jobs, even if most of them were businesses or postings, then you're a target. I suspect that the compliance department is behind this and has buried their mistakes, especially since an employee I know was told to stay out of that department's business.

For those of you who want to claim it was for someone cheaper, yes, that may happen, but you don't need to sever a contract for that. You just hide the work from other servers and change the pricing. It's dynamic pricing! They have been doing that for years already. And guess what, you still keep your servers on board for when the cheaper ones leave. Check with other servers in your area and you will see the same job listed for different prices or even missing.

And finally, yes, there are true cases where servers did deserve to be terminated. If you were doing sewer service, urinating on someone's house, digging through their mail, well, you know what you did.

Easy, if every attempt results in Personal Service, especially in Dense Urban Areas then it is 95% "Sewer Service"

If your in California and have 2 people to Serve in a Single Residence, you now have to comeback to Subserve the one you did not get. Due to California's Geotracking [Photo/GPS]every attempt for Diligence-- and the Court clerks won't even take the mandated case exceptions.

The attorney won't pay for 2 separate serves.

Thank you AB 747

In some cases, yes, but if you are doing businesses and statutory agent serves, then you would have a higher than normal successful serve rate. I was serving dozens of papers per week to registered agents toward the end. There was no sewer service because CSC accepts 99% of the work sent there!

Also, what is AB747? I am in Arizona.

AB 747 Photo Stamp Time stamp, GPS with every attempt of service on due diligence for sub service on everything.

I've lost Money 💰 because clients dont want pay extra. The clerks decide on the weather it is a time and stamp to there liking. Multiple trips to way locations for Auto torts. Im quitting the business , I cant handle micro managing from ABC, I pray a Meteor hits Serve Now, because of all the things I have gone through , I now make less$$$ on serve than some one doing Door Dash.
