Whether or not a signature is required is determined by local law and custom. In jurisdictions where a signature is required, and the person summoned refuses to sign, the issuing officer may take the person into custody and take them immediately before a magistrate.

Generally financial companies don't serve their own summons. A process server employed by your local jurisdictional courthouse is usually the one who serves a summons. Make sure that the individual was a process server, and not a financial company worker. These people may be third-party collections employees who may also be working as process servers. If this is the case, civil summons must be signed by a legal officer or a court official.
