Harris APC Aims to Crack Down on Process Servers
The Californer/10041506

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. - Californer -- California residents who find that a default judgment has been entered against them may be victims of sewer service.

"Sewer service" is when a process server claims he served a person with court documents when he didn't. Instead, he threw the documents down the "sewer."

The practice is common among process servers hired by debt collectors because when the person who was allegedly served with process fails to appear in court, a default judgment can be entered against him. Once a default judgment is entered, the debt collector can garnish the person's wages.
