An alias summons, in most jurisdictions, is what the summons is called on the second attempt to serve the defendant with process. Service of it is accomplished in the same way that the original summons is served, unless governing law provides differently. The third and subsequent summonses are often referred to as pluries summonses.

What happens when an alias summons is returned unserved?

When an alias summons is returned unserved, it typically indicates that the process server was unable to deliver the summons to the defendant after multiple attempts. This may prompt the plaintiff to request a new alias summons to be issued so that the defendant can be properly notified of the legal action. Depending on jurisdictional rules, the plaintiff might need to provide evidence of the attempts made to serve the original summons. Ultimately, the court may allow further attempts to serve or may consider alternative methods of service.


A creditor is suing me but the summons was returned unserved. Can they still have court date Florida?

No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.


If you just received an alias summons from civil court regarding a repossessed car saying you owe 6800 why are they calling it an alias summons and how can you prevent garnishment?

An alias summons is a duplicate summons issued at another time, or served in another way after the original has expired, or hasn't been served, or had no effect, or produced no response for some reason. Technically, the court has probably sent a second summons, since the first one didn't produce the results they thought it would. To stop the garnishment--go to court, take an attorney with you that knows what you did or didn't do. Have all your paper work for the attorney. See if you can work out an agreement with the court and lender to pay an amount that is agreeable to you both at a payment that you can afford -- BUT ..... If you do not show up and you do nothing--you will pay the $6800 + more in interest and court costs thru the garnishee which can be an amount that is not affordable to you or your family depending on the state you are in. Call An Attorney!! Do something and DO IT NOW!! Good Luck
