If you were never served, the proceedings would not be valid against you. However, if you ever got served at any time, or if someone at your house was served via domiciliary service or long-arm service, you have been served. You should hire an attorney to go down there, see what is going on, and look in the record for you. You won't lose your right to argue that there is no service by having an attorney go for you and the attorney can't be served in your place if you weren't served. If you were served, hiring an attorney could save you a lot of grief. I strongly suggest you hire a local attorney.
