Question about state foreclosure law

Posted by charlotte on October 28, 2004 at 09:05:39:

My state's foreclosure laws require that the foreclosure notice be served. Mail is not adequate. If borrower cannot be found, notice must be posted in conspicuous spot on mortgaged premises and served on any occupant.

That is the exact wording. What happens if they did mail it and I was not served? Do I have any recourse? I went to the courthouse and looked at the actual judgment and it claims that there were several attempts to serve in person. The listed dates and times and I know that at least for some of those, I was most likely here. But regardless, the law states that it cannot be mailed. Can I use this in any way--for instance, to stall the sale date? Does anyone know?
