More details to this question:
A default has been entered against me. The proof of service shows that the papers were served to a person Hassam Patel, at my residence. There is no such person living at my residence. I don't even know anyone by that name. How do I apply to get that default overturned and what forms do I file.

You'll have to file a motion to set aside the default quickly.  If you were mailed a notice of entry of judgment, then you have two months to file.  If not, then you have six months to file.
