Hi Hannah! It sounds like the case may be at a standstill because the defendant hasn't been served. Without proper service, the court can't proceed. You might want to check with the court to see if they have any recommendations or if you need to take additional steps to locate and serve the defendant.

Does that mean the person pursuing money owed isn''t pushing to get her signed?
It could mean that the plaintiff (the person pursuing the money owed) hasn't taken further action to locate and serve the defendant. Without service, the case can't move forward. It's essential to ensure the defendant is properly served. Do you need information on how to serve someone in South Carolina?
no I was the one who was suppose to be served. I have not. At some point does the complaint get thrown out due to not finding me to serve?

How long to dismiss?
Case Rating: *

If it has been this long already and there have been no more attempts made, is that showing the court it is not a serious matter to the plaintiff?
Case Rating: *
It seems the plaintiff may not be actively pursuing the matter. However, it's not always a clear indicator of the seriousness of the case. Courts typically look for ongoing activity or attempts to serve. If there hasn't been any action for a significant period, the court might dismiss the case for lack of prosecution.
