Is it legal for a summons to be given to the parents of the person who a summons is for?
As we now know her credit dealings doesn't that break the privacy act
Answer:
You need to check the laws in your state. If you are a minor, yes. In some states it is understood that parents (who accept the summons) have obligated themselves to deliver it, esprcially if their address is the address you used.
it fine if its a minor or a dependant.
Not if she's a minor or if you cosigned the credit app.
In California, yes. The parents would qualify as "persons of suitable age and discretion", which is what the Civil Code requires.
i do not think that giving the summons to the parents is valid service ? how old is s/he ? for a minor ?
It depends on a person's age, and the rules in some geography.

When the police question a mionr, they are supposed to do it with
* permission of parent
* lawyer there
* parent there
Well if the parents say to the police "We do not give you permission to talk to our kids, we refuse to tell you where the kids are staying (with some friend or relative), then the arrest warrant may have to be shown to the parents, and them told that if they not cooperate, they will be arrested for obstruction.
I had thought that a contract is not binding on a minor, so if a minor had a contract to buy something, and freudulently claimed to be an adult, the place could legitimately request adjudication because the person responsible was a minor and lied.
