surety, or accommodation party of any of the Indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or
accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under,
any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be

in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Grantor has not been given a
notice of a breach of the same provision of this Mortgage within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be
cured if Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: la) cures the
default within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates
steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter
continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
Rights and Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender,
at Lender's option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other
rights or remedies provided by law:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option, after giving such notices as required by

public sale on all or any portion of the Property.
Election of Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies will be cumulative and may be exercised alone or
together. An election by Lender to choose any one remedy will not bar Lender from using any other remedy.

and to exercise Lender's remedies.

Mortgage, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys'

prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses Lender incurs that in Lender's opinion are necessary at any time for

ROBERT E. RIGNEY,
Defendant IN MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE
MOTION FOR SERVICE PURSUANT TO SPECIAL ORDER OF COURT
1. A Complaint in this action was filed with the Cumberland County Prothonotary on
March 9, 2009. A cause of action exists against Defendant, and Defendant is the necessary and
proper party to the action.
2. The original Complaint in this action was delivered to the Sheriff of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, for personal service thereof on Defendant. Beginning on April 2, 2009, and
ending May 22, 2009, the Sheriff of Cumberland County attempted to serve the Complaint in
Mortgage Foreclosure or reinstated Complaint on Defendant at least fifteen (15) different times, but
returned a Sheriff's Return of Service stating that, while the lights were on, Defendant did not
answer the door of his home.
3. On or about April 30, 2009, Plaintiffs counsel spoke via telephone with Defendant
and Defendant has confirmed that he resides at the address given to the Sheriff and that Defendant
is fully aware of Plaintiffs mortgage foreclosure action against him.
4. Despite having been informed of the present action and the Sheriff s many attempts
to make service, Defendant continues to avoid personal service.
5. Upon information and belief, Defendant is intentionally avoiding personal service by
the Sheriff.
6. The Sheriff contacted the postal authorities and confirmed that Defendant receives
mail at the address given to the Sheriff.
7. Based on the results of a paid locator service, Plaintiff believes that Defendant may
be temporarily residing with his parents, and on June 24, 2009, Plaintiff directed the Cumberland
County Sheriff s Office to attempt service at Defendant's parents' residence.
8. Plaintiff has made a diligent good-faith effort to serve Defendant to no avail as is
evidenced in the Affidavit accompanying this Motion.
9. It is the Plaintiffs contention that normal service under Rule 400(a) of the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure is not possible in this case.
10. Under the circumstances, Plaintiffhas conducted all necessary examinations to fulfill
the good faith effort requirement of Rule 430.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests an order of this Honorable Court that service of the
Complaint be made on Defendant by a competent adult or, in the alternative, if said service cannot
be made by a competent adult after a good faith effort as determined by Plaintiff, then by Priority
Mail with delivery confirmation.

AFFIDAVIT
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA )
:SS.
COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND )
Jacob M. Theis, Esquire, being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. Affiant is the attorney for Plaintiff in the above-entitled action and is familiar with
all of the facts and circumstances in this action.
2. This affidavit is in support of Plaintiffs' motion for an order directing service of the
Complaint on Defendant by first class mail of the Complaint pursuant to Rule 430 of the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
3. This action was brought to foreclose on a Mortgage held by Plaintiff and against
Defendant, with the mortgaged property being located at 207 North 24`h Street, Camp Hill,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17011.
4. A Complaint in this action was filed with the Cumberland County Prothonotary on
March 9, 2009. A cause of action exists against Defendant and Defendant is the necessary and
proper party to the action, as shown by the Complaint, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A"
and made a part of this affidavit.
5. Defendant's residence is 207 North 24' Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17011, and by correspondence dated June 30, 2009, the local Post Master has
confirmed that no change of address order has been filed.
6. The original Complaint in this action was delivered to the Sheriff of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, (hereinafter, "the Sheriff') for personal service thereof on Defendant. On
April 6, 2009, the Sheriff signed and returned a Sheriff's Return of Service stating that he was unable
to serve Defendant by the expiration date despite having made fourteen (14) attempts, and noted that
"the lights were on, but defendant did not answer door." A true and correct copy of said Sheriff's
Return is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B."
7. On or about April 30, 2009, Defendant contacted the undersigned's office, stating that
he was aware of the present action against him in mortgage foreclosure, and requested the docket
number for the present action filed against him by Plaintiff.
8. On or about April 30, 2009, the undersigned returned Defendant's telephone call, and
in speaking directly with Defendant, Defendant confirmed that his residential address had not
changed. Defendant further represented that he would accept service as soon as he had met with an
attorney shortly thereafter.
9. To date, Defendant has refused to accept certified mail sent to his residence.
10. As of the date of this affidavit, Defendant has not returned Plaintiff's calls nor has
he otherwise informed Plaintiff if he has retained counsel. No attorney has entered an appearance
in this matter on the behalf of Defendant.
11. The Complaint was reinstated and again the Cumberland County Sheriff received a
copy of the Complaint to serve on May 1, 2009. On May 22, 2009, the Sheriff of Cumberland
County signed and returned a Sheriffs Return of Service stating that the Defendant could not be
served by the expiration date. Although the Sheriffs Return of Service stated that a neighbor of
Defendant indicated that Defendant had possibly moved, the Post Master confirmed with the Sheriff
that mail is still delivered to Defendant at the address given. A true and correct copy of said
Sheriffs Return is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C."
12. Affiant has used a paid locator service, Accurint, which searches phone listings, voter
registration records, tax records, driver's license records, possible relatives and additional
information.
13. The Accurint search revealed that Defendant could possibly be residing with his
parents at 605 Lavina Dr., Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055, despite Defendant's affirmation that
he resides at 207 North 240' Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17011. Aside
from this possibility, none of the information provided by Accurint has assisted in serving the
Complaint on Defendant.
14. As of the date this affidavit was signed, the Cumberland County Sheriff s Office is
attempting to serve Defendant at his parent's residence, being 605 Lavina Drive, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania 17055.
15. Plaintiff s counsel, in light of the Sheriff s inability to personally serve defendant,
offered to make the Complaint available for Defendant to pickup at his convenience, but Defendant
has refused.
16. Affiant believes that service upon Defendant personally cannot be had due to his
consistent and intentional avoidance of personal service.
17. Affiant has made all attempts necessary under the circumstances to fulfill the good
faith effort requirement of Pa.R.C.P. Rule 430.
18. Affiant has spoken directly with Defendant and Defendant is fully aware that the
present Mortgage Foreclosure action has been filed against him yet he continues to avoid service.
WHEREFORE, Affiant requests an order of this Honorable Court that service of the
Complaint be made on Defendant by a competent adult or, in the alternative, if said service cannot
be made by a competent adult after a good faith effort as determined by Plaintiff, then by Priority
Mail with delivery confirmation.

containing the missing information is filed in the Prothonotary's Office. If after two notices no amendment
has been filed, your motion will be sent back to the Prothonotary's office and placed in the file and no further
action will be taken.

related matter, and, ifso, shall specify the judge and the issue.

counsel of record was sought and the response of said counsel; provided, that this requirement shall not apply
to preliminary objections, motions for judgment on the pleadings, motions for summary judgment, petitions to

Please note that you do not need to file an additional proposed order or provide additional envelopes
for service. Your amendment will be attached to the original motion.
