Re: summons received
file a motion to dismiss the summons for lack of jurisdiction. The statute of limitations has run, unless someone did something to toll same. If the money is significant enough, you may want to see an attorney first.
Good Luck.

Re: summons received
You should consult an attorney, because without reviewing the summons and the documents the debt is based upon, I cannot determine whether you have a valid defense. Do not ignore this because a judgment will be entered.
