A: I don't know what you mean by the date in service is wrong? Service is the day they hand you the papers, not the day the papers you were handed were signed. There will be another document that will be filed with the court which should have the correct date of service when it hits the court. Contact your auto insurance carrier immediately and tender the case to them. They will know what to do. If you weren't insured then contact a lawyer.
