Dismissal: Can You Get a Lawsuit Dismissed Based Upon Late Service

My question involves court procedures for the state of: FLORIDA

I was served in a lawsuit from National Collegiate Student Loan Trust 2006-4 (not the loan originator) n 6/24/16. Myself and my mother who co-signed this loan had not received anything until this past week in regards to this loan suit they apparently filed back in 2013. The docket shows summons was issued but never, ever served. It is my understanding that in Florida, you are meant to be served within 120 days or the suit should be dismissed? Clearly this never happened.
This sat open as you can see with no activity until 2015 with the “return of service, unserved” (I have no idea why, my mother has at least been in the same house for over 20 years, though I have moved). I can see then the court moved to dismiss based on lack of prosecution. I can’t view the dockets without going into the court house which is not local to me—but I see there was an order adopting the GM’s report (I take it this docket listing doesn’t mean it was accepted or denied based on what we can see).

Now I see the summons issued again (3 years after the initial complaint??) and that’s obviously what we were served. Does this mean they are trying to re-file, or that the lack of prosecution was denied?

I know I need to get the actual documents, but I need to respond and I’m wondering my best course of action. It seems to be this case should have been dismissed for failure to serve within 120 days--- the next thing important to me is that the loan hit statute of limitations in January of this year—so if they are dismissed on failure to serve they can’t really refile because now my debt is uncollectable.

Any guidance/advise my best course of action?
