              Status:
              Answered
              I hired this company to file divorce papers to my estranged wife with the understanding that they write the divorce decree up and serve it to the defendant as long as I have been separated and know her address to have papers served. I filed on 3/6/23 I paid for expedited delivery which they charged for delivering service and I would get a tracking number. This company sent a picture saying the mail was undelivered because that’s not a valid address when that is a valid address and this company said they would serve the papers themselves not having the USPS deliver the papers like it’s a regular piece of mail. Now since they were unable to serve the papers and I have no other address they want to charge me an additional fee to have the papers delivered to my home address so I can serve the defendant in person myself. Nor will they offer a refund if your unable to utilize their services if you can’t serve the papers. I paid for services through this company all paid up front expecting papers to be served by hand not USPS delivery. And if your unable to service papers the job is not complete for the service I was charged for.
