My sister was recently served a civil suit by an individual with whom she does not know, has never heard of, and has never had any contact with. The plaintiff is accusing her of internet libel via Facebook and other social media areas, but we are guessing this is a case of mistaken identity as her internet presence is very limited and is restricted to family only.
The main issue is that my sister lives in Minnesota, but the court for the hearing is in Pennsylvania, so she will not be able to appear. She certainly doesn't want a default judgement or to have to pay any unrecoverable fees to fight the complaint, due to non-appearance, for an issue that has nothing to do with her.
Ideas?
