At least with email you can change your address. I once had a process server come to my door to serve a summons, it was my first and last name with a different middle initial. When I pointed that out to the process server, he said "close enough" and walked away.

I had never been served a summons before so I was worried about it, I called a lawyer and the lawyer said to just throw the summons in the trash.

Although apparently the guy with the same name as me was going bankrupt or something, his bad debts started showing up on my credit report and I had to mail the reporting agencies to take them off, went on for a few years.
