Service of process for Debt Collection Cases

Whether you need one or one hundred summonses and complaints served, we have you covered.  ABC Legal provides prompt, professional, and compliant service of process for every customer — and optimizes for debt collection.

A process server will make multiple attempts at the address provided and will record GPS and photo data to validate service at every step. You get the details instantly in your account as progress is made. It's like going along for the ride.

We have designed a number of processes specifically for the collections process and the unique requirements for collections in particularly tricky states. We have free venue selection tools that can help you validate the court based on the service address, options to perform skip traces and venue selection before service with Pre-Suit Skip™, and perform skip traces that automatically get your case out to the next best address if one is available with Deep Skip.

As a law firm, you'll have access to the next best address found in our auto trace results for free when we hit a bad address. You can decide how to proceed with that information.

Whether you need a summons and complaint served for a collections case or for any other civil lawsuit, we have you covered.

Process server providers are partners who can shoulder burdens related to service of process on your firm's behalf, enabling your team to spend more time on your clients.

ABC Legal goes above and beyond a typical process server provider. We don't just find a process server for your case, we've invested in vetting, training, and monitoring to ensure every process server is qualified, available, and performing in accordance with local laws and our own rigorous standards. We have a team for process server support and compliance; we have customer support on standby for our clients.

Additionally, ABC Legal is a tech-forward company. We have smart automations, custom reporting, and the best online account experience in the industry, supported by our in-house developers and analysts.

What does that mean for you? It means your provider can elevate the data you get back, improve your service rate and average speed to service, and tackle tasks and processes  related to service of process. Additional services, like investigations and filing can be handled with one vendor. Reach out to ABC Legal to learn more or read about 6 Smart Steps to Improve Service of Process | ABC Legal

Initially, we ensure that process servers have all required licenses and registrations required by local courts. Moving forward, we monitor all attempts process servers make, using technology to validate location information and look for discrepancies so that we can catch irregularities before they can impact our clients at scale. We make the information our clients need for audits available online in the Compliance Resources page in the Look Up Tools.
