I think so. It is when you print out papers and have to deliver them to a person at the address. If the person is not there, you tape them on the door.

I took one and immediately asked to be removed. It's basically serving repo papers. Not worth it for $12. I would even be uncomfortable doing it for more if I was alone, which would've been the case. Not even close to worth it at $12.
You could actually get hurt on these because you would be trespassing on private property.
When I lived in Texas, I was a process server and had to take a class and get fingerprinted and registered with the state.
I charged attorney's $75 each time I served papers to someone. I also had to make three attempts at different times of day over several days before I could tape them to the door.
I don't know what the law is in other states.

I've done one door hanger (which is really not a good description.) It was not serving legal documents. I had to print out a letter from their bank telling the person to call them because they couldn't reach them by phone and they wanted to talk about how to help them with being behind on their mortgage payment. It really wasn't a BAD letter, not threatening or anything but it isn't one I'd like to get.
My delivery was to a home outside of my small town. I'm glad I didn't know the people. They were home but I just walked up to the door, taped it on the door (I already had the tape on the envelope because I knew I wasn't handing to a real person and asking for a picture), stepped back took a picture and headed out of there. The woman saw me through the window and opened the door as I was halfway to my car. I could hear here pulled the envelope off the door and she said "what the hell" as she shut the door. It wasn't bad but not completely comfortable either.
I would NOT do it for $12. I think I did it for $20. It maybe took 1/2 hour by the time I printed, put it in the envelope, drove there and back home.

For $20 minimum i would do it. Seems easy enough if it's in a decent neighborhood.
You very much could. My state is rated about #3 in gun ownership. Everyone owns dozens and they use them...not on people 99% of the time, but still. If I got to a place and felt any more uncomfortable that I did I would have walked away and cancelled. Luckily I didn't have to. I would also have been smarter to have had my husband with me instead of going alone. But I know that he would have said "hell no."@spicy1 wrote:

These assignments are to deliver notices to people who are loising their home or their vehicle. Their state of mind is of tremendous anxiety, fear and anger and sometimes suicide and/or homicide. These companies have enormous gall to send unsuspecting people, sometimes 18 year olds, stay-at-home moms and the elderly to do this dirty work that should be in the hands of professional investigators, process servers or attorney liasons!
I know how angry and frustrated people in my neighborhood get with people just trying to sell pest control or alarm systems. I don't want to even imagine how crazy some of them would get if that person on the doorstep was trying to serve court papers or a warning their home is being foreclosed. Tons of guns in my state and in my neighborhood, too.

Can't disagree with any of this. However, the letter I delivered was not anything legal and didn't involve legal action.

The paper you taped to their door was clearly some precursor legal step the bank had to make in the pre-foreclosure process.

Clearly? Perhaps. If they followed the instructions in the paper it maybe could save them their home. So I'm either a devil or an angel.
Well, everyone needs to keep a copy of what you are serving and the agreement with WeGoLook because that is who you or your family's attorney will be suing if something goes horribly wrong.
And I hope you are covering your car's license plate!

I'm not sure I'd do another of these because I don't disagree with the negatives you've pointed out. But I also don't think that people need to be scared utterly shitless to take one of the these shops.
Elderly? Disabled? 18-year olds?
Are you lumping everyone in these groups into a pejorative dismissal?

I signed up for one of these without really understanding what it was. Once I discussed it with the company and realized, I did not free comfortable taking that amount of risk. To their credit, they allowed me to cancel with no repercussions.
You could find yourself in a whole other world quickly....drugs, anger, violence... or maybe a perfectly nice person experiencing a rough patch. But who is who?

@Shop-et-al Those are the groups of people that would be at a higher risk, OBVIOUSLY. But, you're question really IS quite obvious, isn't it AND aren't they? You just asked about that part, singling it out from ALL of the other material provided so that you could jump all over whatever it is that you would like to jump all over. And you couldn't phrase it like "I think........I don't think..........". Instead, just a slice of what was said, the one slice that fits the mold of whatever it was that you read and said that I had grouped everyone into some sort dismissal? You read it, I didn't say it. That's called perception. And yours, on this, is skewed.
I'd like to err on the side of caution and have to agree with what spicy is saying. These kinds of shops sound risky and not worth making $20 to possibly be confronted and who knows what else.
