After a few attempts, It will get sent back to the sender. If the letter petains to contacting a person about a debt obligation, the law presumes that a reasonable attempt has been made as the post office or courier service will mark the correspondence as the addresse refused acceptance. That in turn means that the creditor can proceed with whatever action is required to collect the debt owed.

THAT IS NOT TRUE SERVICE UPON A PERSON MUST BE PERFECTED IN ORDER FOR YOU TO PROCEED WITH A COURT CASE.

SOME CASES PERTAINING TO RENTALS AND SUCH IF THE PERSON HAS ABANDON THE PREMISES THAN THAT MAY ALLOW YOU TO PROCEED WITH A COURT CASE

CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL COURT ON THE RULES AND PROCEDURE REGARDING SERVICES BY PROCESS

ONLY IN THE CASE OF A PERSON SEEKING A DIVORCE FROM A MISSING SPOUSE CAN YOU GET A COURT AUCTION GOING AND THAT (TYPE OF DIVORCE) IS THE LONGEST TO GET SOME STATES IT 120 DAY WAITING PERIOD.

Well, obviously the letter gets returned to the sender,but i suppose that the question is about what would happen after that, ie, maybe in court or something like that.

I don't know much since I've only been searching for the answer for under an hour, but i get the impression from some websites that the sender has somewhat of an advantage in court in that it shows they tried to serve some information to the intended recipient. If that outweighs the recipient's advantage for refusing probably depends on the information in the letter and the specifics and importance of the matter. So far i haven't found any specific reasons why someone might not want to sign, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any.

What happens if you don't sign for delivery of a certified letter?
