Can someone sue you in small claims court if they can not track you down?

Yes. There are actually some forms of service of process that are legal which do not involve actually handing paperwork to the respondent. You can google "service of process" to find out the various ways this can be accomplished.

If they get that far, they can go to court and win a summary judgment against you. They can then seek orders to attach assets and garnishee wages to recover the amount they are awarded.

Nope. To be sued, you must be properly served which means someone must deliver papers to you and say the words "you have been served" (the words part is optional). If they can't track you down, they can't serve you.

However, don't underestimate anyone's ability to track you down especially considering modern technology and information and all.

If they can't track YOU down then they don't have an address to sue you. I like stategies.

Technically not, the defendant has to be notified of the complaint against them. Under some instances the court can grant alternative service and the defendant can be served through certified mail or other means. It depends on the laws of the jurisdiction in which the trial would take place.

Best way to know is to contact an attorney. Many will sign contingency agreements meaning that you don't pay them unless they get you money.

No, since they have to be able to be served in order to start proceedings. However, the odds of not being able to track someone down in this day and age are slim. Unless they're living off the grid and intentionally hiding, all you really have to do is Google them most of the time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
