You can file a Motion to lift default, but that will be difficult unless you can show you were not served with the original complaint and/or you did not receive the notice (it would have arrived via first class mail) of the hearing.

If you have to file a bankruptcy, you should still be able to avoid (cancel) the lien on your residence.
