Is it illegal to impersonate the court to collect money?

Legal analysis: illegal. If you are sued to the court, the court will directly serve the litigation documents and subpoenas, and choose you to sign for them, not the other party's notice, not the text message.

Legal basis: Article 125 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's court shall send a copy of the complaint to the defendant within five days from the date of filing the case, and the defendant shall submit a reply within fifteen days from the date of receipt. The written defense shall record the name, sex, age, nationality, occupation, work unit, domicile and contact information of the defendant, the name and domicile of an individual or other organization, and the name, position and contact information of the legal representative or principal responsible person. The people's court shall send a copy of the defense to the plaintiff within five days from the date of receiving the defense. If the defendant fails to submit the defense, it will not affect the trial of the people's court.
