What appeal action if any that could be available to the debtor depends upon the laws of the state. In most cases a civil summons does not have to be delivered into the hands of the named person, only that a reasonable attempt has been made. In a case where the summons was accepted by a member of the household the law would presume that the named person would have been made aware of such and should have responded within the required time limit and/or appeared at the date of the hearing.

What happnes if I don't respond to district court summons?
When a defendant fails to appear in court relating to a civil matter the plaintiff will usually be awarded a default judgment.

A subpoena is a mandatory court order to appear and should never be ignored.
