CURETON, Judge:
In this mortgage foreclosure action, the special referee granted foreclosure against the Bey Corporation (Bey). Bey appealed. In New Hampshire Insurance Co. v. Bey Corp., Op. No. 1960 (S.C.Ct.App. filed March 1, 1993) (Davis Adv.Sh. No. 6 at 11), this Court affirmed the trial court's finding that it had personal jurisdiction over the defendant. After rehearing this case on Bey's petition for rehearing, we withdraw that opinion and substitute this opinion.
Bey asserts the trial court did not have personal jurisdiction over it because James T. Yarborough, Jr. (Yarborough), its president, and sole officer and shareholder, was not personally served with process in accordance with Rule 4(d)(3), SCRCP, and S.C.Code Ann. § 15-9-210(c) (1976) as amended. In our prior opinion, we found it unnecessary to address that argument in view of our conclusion that Bey had made a voluntary appearance pursuant to Rule 4(d) by presenting evidence on the merits at the foreclosure hearing.
After hearing arguments at rehearing and a further review of the record, we are convinced Bey's appearance at the foreclosure hearing was limited to setting aside the default and was not a voluntary appearance as contemplated by Rule 4(d). At the foreclosure hearing, New Hampshire objected to Bey participating in the hearing because Bey was in default.[1] Thereafter, the thrust of Bey's presentation of evidence addressed the requirement of showing a basis for setting aside the default.
As pertains to the efficacy of service, New Hampshire attempted to serve Bey by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint with a person of discretion at Yarborough's residence. Although such service might have been effective against Yarborough as an individual, it was ineffective against Bey. Rule 4(d)(3), SCRCP; 4A Charles A. Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1101, at 103 (1987). Accordingly, the trial court's finding that Bey was properly served with process is erroneous and is reversed.
Having determined that service was defective and Bey did not make a voluntary appearance, we must consider whether the special referee should have set aside the default.
Under Rule 55(c), SCRCP, a default may be set aside "for good cause shown." On the other hand, the criteria for obtaining relief from judgment mandates a showing, inter alia, of mistake, inadvertence, excusable neglect, surprise, newly discovered evidence, fraud, misrepresentation, or "other misconduct of an adverse party." Rule 60(b), SCRCP. As a
NOTES
[1]  Bey did not make a formal motion. However, when New Hampshire's attorney reminded the special referee that Bey had not made a motion, the referee indicated that he would "adjourn" the reference hearing to permit the filing of the motions, "[o]r we will go forward." Counsel replied "[n]o, thank you," and the hearing proceeded.

Admittedly, the record is confusing as to Bey's participation and status at the proceeding before the special referee. The order of reference indicates Bey was in default. The referee's order for judgment, now under appeal, also states "[Bey] moved to vacate the default and sought relief from the default ... pursuant to the [SCRCP] including Rules 59 [sic] and 60. I conclude there is no grounds for granting this motion. Therefore, the relief sought is denied."
Clearly, there had not been entry of a default judgment, which would have brought into play the requirements of Rule 60. However, Bey's counsel does suggest he had the burden of showing "mistake, inadvertence, excusable neglect, newly discovered evidence, or fraud" as a prerequisite for setting aside the default. He further noted: "At this time I'm setting the basis to [set aside the default] accordingly." The latter requirements, of course, are prerequisites for relief under Rule 60(b), SCRCP.
In spite of the above indications of Bey's default, and the special referee's ruling that he would not relieve Bey of its default, the referee, in his order on rehearing, held for the first time that Bey had made a voluntary appearance in the case. It was inconsistent for the referee to hold Bey in default and at the same time find it had made a voluntary appearance in the case.
