A: Lack of service means the other side was not given notice of the hearing. If you are unsure exactly what the letter means, the best first step is to call the clerk's office and ask them about it. They should explain why they are taking that action. If you are unsure of how to proceed after discussing with the clerk's office you may consider having a consultation with an attorney to discuss your case in further detail. Good luck.
