In most states, when a business is sued, papers can be left at a principal office with an adult in charge. An office assistant probably qualifies. It sounds as if your company -- not you -- is being sued. Therefore, it doesn't matter that your name is not on the form. Regardless of the address being wrong, your company should send someone to court on the appropriate day. If it fails do so so, it risks the possibility that a default judgment will be entered against it.
