Contempt of Court?!?

So, I had a Default Judgment entered against me back in January of this year. I received a Restraining Notice and Information Subpoena at the end of March (which is how I found out about the DJ) and immediately began the process of having the default vacated.
My OSC and supporting papers were signed by a judge and I served them on the PA. That same day, the PA sent me a letter stating that I have failed to comply with the subpoena request and they may take further legal action including possible contempt proceedings.
The return date set on my OSC papers is in 3 days. Why would they send me that letter and what are the ramifications if I still don't answer? If the default is vacated, then is the Information Subpoena irrelevant?
Thanks!

Soaplady, Am I allowed to contact them? I am representing myself since I can't afford an attorney. Also, the number they have listed connects me to collectors. If I call, should I call them on the main line that is on their website (different than the mailing). Thanks again.

Again, it depends on when the letter was requested. A lot of companys generate or request letters the day before they are printed. Some companies also outsource to an outside company as well. As I said above, call them
another question...
Why would the JDB ask me for my SSN on an Information Subpoena? They bought my debt from the OC with "...all the rights, title and interest thereof...". So, just as the OC would have my SSN, doesn't that transfer to the JDB? Would it be wrong of me to read into that too much? Is it just a matter of a standard suite of questions on the subpoena?
If the default is vacated and I can defend on the merits, it is my intention to ask for proof of ownership, proof that the SOL hasn't expired and proof of the debt amount.
