Q: What does a notice of hearing mean?

We received a notice of hearing (regarding our mortgage in Dupage County IL) It gives no information as to what needs to be done and if we have to be present. We do not live in IL. We have a home in IL that is being rented but is in foreclosure.

If you were served by the Special Process Server before the appointment, yes. If you were served conventionally and within the time parameters, no. However, it is pretty academic, as if it is quashed, all that will happen is that you will get served again.
