Correct. It does not. Think of it as serving a summons and complaint in
civil litigation. Just because someone has used an attorney for something
in the past, does not mean that that attorney is authorized to accept
service as the defendant may not even want to use that attorney for a
particular matter and the attorney should also not be obligated to do
anything just because you don't want to spend the time to serve as the
rules require. Don't forget to address it properly, e.g.:
*VIA CERTIFIED MAIL*
Citibank, N.A.
Attention: President or Corporate Officer or, better yet, "[type the
actual name of the President] or Corporate Officer"
Address on fdic website
In addition, you should serve it on the servicing entity. Since servicing
entities are seldom fdic insured, service is not via certified mail, but
you still should serve a corporate officer. I tend to err on the side of
serving more than I need to and also serve at the address for service of
process listed on the Secretary of State's office, if available.

Motion to Avoid Lien- Service Question

I don't think so. In any case, it doesn't really matter. Just spend the extra four bucks and serve the bank via certified mail at their FDIC address and you should be fine. If you have an address for the attorney in the bankruptcy case, go ahead and reserve them too. It is okay to reserve and refile the motion unless the judge specifically denied your motion with prejudice.

Thanks for your reply. Does the fact that I served the attorney not exempt me from serving the officer pursuant to FRBP 7004 (h)(1)?

The lien holder is Citibank and I served them as well as the attorney that represented them in the underlying matter via certified mail. I can only think that I didn't serve Citibank at the proper address. I looked at the Sec. of State's website and I couldn't find Citibank N.A.. Can someone direct me to where I can find that information?

Hello Group:
I filed a Motion to Avoid Lien but it was denied by the judge for failing to serve the lien holder pursuant to FRBP 7004 (h). The lien holder is Citibank and I served them as well as the attorney that represented them in the underlying matter via certified mail. I can only think that I didn't serve Citibank at the proper address. I looked at the Sec. of State's website and I couldn't find Citibank N.A.. Can someone direct me to where I can find that information?
Also, this is the first time I've had a motion denied. There's no bar to refiling the same motion, is there?
