Contact the office of the clerk of the court that issued the civil summons immediately for instructions on how to return the summons.

What does Amended summons?

A writ of summons is a paper issuing out of a court (writ) which calls upon someone to appear (it summons them). In some jurisdictions, civil actions are started by presenting a writ to the court which is then served upon the defendant. The writ will state the basis in fact and law of the complaint. If for some reason the plaintiff (the person with the complaint, the person who starts the lawsuit) afterwards feels the statement of fact and law is insufficient he can have it changed, or amended. The writ of summons will then become an amended writ of summons.
