If you have received a summons, that means that you have been sued. Unless you respond to the lawsuit in a timely and proper manner, it is extremely likely that you will lose the lawsuit and have a judgment entered against you. If you want to prevent that outcome, it would be best to begin trying to locate a lawyer as soon as possible.

What state do you live in? In Washington, foreclosures are non-judicial so you wouldn't receive a summons. Contact a lawyer.

You need to appear in court and will probably be able to negotiate then, but if not, you should tell the court that the amount is disputed and to set a trial. Then perhaps get to a bankruptcy attorney and see if you can file bankruptcy, which will wipe out the debt.
