Hello!
So here's what's going on:
Basically, a few days ago I received a letter from the DMV stating that I can not register my vehicle because I am in default due a FTA from the city of Tempe. I immediatly called Tempe thinking this was a mistake and they advised me that on Feb 17th I was issued an electronic speeding ticket in Tempe. I was evidently mailed a citation and served. I leave the country quite often because I have an ill parent in the Netherlands so I asked them for more information on this "served". They stated that a process server served a Lindsey at my house on April 24th. The issue is, Lindsey is my dog sitter. She only comes by once or twice a week to walk the dogs while I am out of town. Is it legal that someone who does not reside in my home be served a ticket on my behalf? Tempe told me to write a letter to the judge requesting the default be lifted but it is my understanding that due process was not observed. Shouldn't the entire case be thrown out?
Please advise!
Thanks,
Anna
