Re: what does this mean?

If you never received a summons and complaint, it was most likely served by publication in a newspaper in the city of last known address. You have six months to get the judgment set aside and answer the complaint. Or up to two years to file a motion to set aside if the city of publication was not the city that was on your credit report at that time.
