You would lose by default. This is the absolute worst thing you could possibly do. You won't get to present your side, you'll anger the judge (who will think that you're not taking this seriously) and the other side will win, even if you have a defense. If you can't afford a lawyer, go to a legal aid center or law school and see if you can get help there.

Good luck.
