    I actually dont care for you much. Not enough I want your dog to not make it. About your dog, I was sincere the first time. This last time i was being a bit sarcastic, but doesnt change the fact Id not ever wish for anyones pets to pass away prematurely.

    Yeah, I would've thought the same thing.

    Yeah, if it is actually legit. There is so much god damn junk mail anymore, who knows what it could be.
    No one wastes money to send junk mail as "certified." It is probably in your best interest to sign for it and open it.

    THIS.

    My educated guess would be the letter says this very thing--- in a much more politically correct manner, of course. It's the collector's way of showing they made that good faith effort to contact you before filing suit. My guess is the letter will say if you do not call by a certain date they will proceed accordingly.

    Going back to what Manhatten Buckeye alluded to earlier, an attorney can Perfect Service of a Complaint by various manners in Ohio. In the event you never claim this mail, or any piece of mail that is a Summons by certified mail, the plaintiff can Perfect Service by Publication. How this work is the the plaintiff files suit against you through Certified Mail. If you do not answer after a period of time the plaintiff could file an affidavit with the court advising they have exhausted all remedies to contact you. The Court will then extend a period of time for you to respond. The plaintiff then files notice of the Complaint in your local newspaper for a month. If you fail to respond to the plaintiff in time a Default Judgment could be awarded against you. This means a judgment has been rendered against you without the opportunity to defend it. If it is something you have liability insurance coverage (ie. car accident, dogbite, slip and fall, professional liability etc.) you could be in violation of your contract and have no coverage.

    It does not hurt anything to accept the letter. It has already been sent. Like others have stated maybe it is not quite what you think.

    If it is a "One last chance to pay your bill" letter you should just pay your bill or contact them to arrange payments.

    Do you have any reason to think someone might be filing suit against you for something other than the ambulance ride?

    Did JJ save up those $12 and buy an attorney?

    Not that I can think of. If it isn't about the ambulance bill I'll be extremely surprised.

    These people suggesting playing games with "service" are hilarious. Just pick up the damn letter.
  • Con_Alma
    Agreed.

    Why would you not pick it up?

    I don't know what the rules are in Ohio, but in our practice, we can even serve things electronically. Generally, refusing service by one means can delay situations, but it doesn't resolve them.

    Probably a cease and desist letter from whoever owns JJ. I deal with crap like this on a monthly basis.

    One time I had someone send me a certified letter with a couple blank sheets of paper in it... I couldn't figure it out until I got a paper from a court that they had issued a judgment against one of my businesses. Luckily I got it resolved in time... but I wouldn't be surprised.
