If you can prove you were not served with proper process, you may have a chance to reopen the case, but if you were served initially, then just didn't receive the letter with notice of hearing, that may not be enough. You'd have to carefully look at the Court's file, and see what it says about how and when you were served, and with what. You may find a huge error, you may not.
In addition to service, there's no way for any lawyer on here to have any idea if the $22k is appropriate. It could be the right number, but a lot goes into that calculation.
