Some homeowners trying to defend themselves against foreclosure have said the lender didn’t properly serve them.
And in one recent case, the homeowner wasn’t properly served because he was dead, Sunrise lawyer Andrew Dinnerstein said.
Dinnerstein, who’s representing the family of the deceased, said in court papers that a representative of process server ProVest served the homeowner on April 21, 2011. But the homeowner had passed away Aug. 4, 2010.
Dinnerstein is not identifying the man to protect the family's privacy.

OCALA - A man who allowed his dogs to attack a civil process server and then shot at the man was arrested Thursday.
The victim told authorities he went to the Southwest Ocala home early in the day but was told by a woman that her father was not there and that he should come back after 6 p.m.
The man said he returned to the home and got out of his vehicle and was approached by several dogs, which were aggressive. He said he was afraid of being bitten so he used pepper spray to stop the dogs from attacking him.
Then, he said, a man standing by the front window watching him came out of the home with a black semi-automatic weapon and fired a shot over his head.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - We do it every day, and likely don't realize it -- leaving behind personal information on the Internet. You think you're doing it to keep friends and family updated, but others also are watching your every move, including those you may be trying to avoid. It has one man saying, "gotcha!"
Lee Griggs is not an investigator, but he spends hours investigating. "If I am right, he not only pulled down the photo he had the other day, but it looks like he may have pulled his site," said Griggs.
He's not a bounty hunter, but he does hunt people. Lee is a process server, delivering mostly debt collections and foreclosure notices. He also serves witness subpoenas, workers comp cases and divorce papers. "We get 'em served," said Griggs. "We go all the way."

5 Steps to Win in Small Claims Court
By Sally Herigstad - www.foxbusiness.com

Most debt advice is for people who owe money. But what if they owe it to you?
Maybe a former tenant's security deposit fell a few thousand short of the damage he left. Or an old friend now says you never lent him five grand, despite a canceled check to the contrary. Perhaps a hot-rodder flattened your flowerbeds, promised to repair them, then drove off for good.
