Yes. If the defendent doesn't get the summons, then you cannot answer and they plaintiff goes for and gets a default judgment.

Yes, you CAN challenge the judgment. If you were never served, you need to find out HOW they supposedly served you. If that service was improper, you may be able to get the judgment vacated. If you cannot prove improper service, then you CAN file an appeal to the judgment to get your 'day in court'.

Call or go to the courthouse where the judgment was rendered and get a copy of the case file. In the file will be a 'proof of service' form. That will tell you how, when, where, and to whom the summons was served. If its inaccurate (process servers DO lie) or if the service was not done per state laws, then you may have grounds to vacate the judgment.

What state are you in ?
