There can be no judgment of any sort unless the lawsuit has been filed and "heard" in accordance with state statutes.

Often the defendant debtor believes they have not been legally served because the civil summons was not physically placed in their hands. In the majority of U.S. states that is not a requirement. A civil summons can be hand delivered in several ways (process server, courier such as FedEx, etc.) or it can be sent as registered mail via U.S.Postal service.

The premise for such action is that a "reasonable attempt" needs to be made to inform the defendant that he or she is being sued. If the named person cannot be found and/or he or she refuses delivery of said summons the lawsuit will go forward under the default laws. In such instances a default judgment can legally be filed. The defendant does have the right to contest the validity of said judgment to have it quashed. But unless it can be proven that the required notification procedures were not followed the judgment will stand.
