If you never received service of the complaint, you may have an opportunity to set the judgement aside. You will need to go to the court house and look at the file.

1. You may be able to vacate the judgment if you received no notice and have a meritorious defense.
2. You may have exemptions to collection available.
3. They are entitled to discover your available assets. If you do not attend, they can seek a court order to compel.
Suggest you retain counsel.
