Reply to comment by Jumpy-Natural4868 in Heating oil ‘erroneously’ delivered to Pa. home that doesn’t use oil ends up in nearby waterway (erguson Twp., Centre County) by Jumpy-Natural4868

That happened to my household. We were sued. For the cost of the fuel. They won the court case as it was a work day and there was no way to appear in court. That was a few years ago, still livid.

You were not served law suit papers and couldn't file a response?

Sounds like a default judgement, which could be set aside if you weren't properly served.

Partner was served, court date was two days after he was served. He had just started a new job and couldn't miss any time during his shift for this. He contacted the courthouse to explain his work situation and they were like cool, sucks to be you.

He had even sent payment for the fuel that was erroneously delivered the day it arrived. The check came back return to sender in the post. Never gave it another thought until he got served.
