I opened a corporate business a few years ago. The corporation made a purchase with my information without my consent. I quit and a few months later the corporation closed. I received a court summons for a purchase I didn't make, I gave the information to the owner of the business because he has the equipment and was aware of the purchase. He informed me he will take care of it. Yesterday I received a notice from the Marshals that I have to pay double of what the original due amount was.
That's a consequence of not answering a summons. You should consult a local attorney and see if there are grounds for reopening the default judgment that was undoubtedly taken against you.
