The party or attorney of record shall certify to the court compliance with this rule in writing above the signature on the filed instrument. A certificate by a party or an attorney of record, or the return of the officer, or the affidavit of any other person showing service of a notice shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service. Nothing herein shall preclude any party from offering proof that the document, notice, or instrument was not received, and upon so finding, the court may extend the time for taking the action required of such party or grant such other relief as it deems just.
