Request for entry of default Oh Boy...

Wow -I have dug myself into a good hole- Total CC debt 80k. Plus I have an investment house in foreclosure, upside down by about 140k.
Anyway, I have settled 13k of my cc debt and got another 7 on a hardship program. One of my cards, for 17k roughly sent me a letter that they would be seeking a judgment. Now, yesterday I received a letter in the mail from the lender. It was a court document called "Request for Entry of Default." I found through online reading that this is request when the defendant (me) does not respond to a summons.
The bad thing is that I never received a summons. So I just checked the court's online system. It shows entry of "proof of serve" by means of occupant at home. Well I checked with my friend, and she indicates that she was never served.
Now I'm wondering what my options are- and of course it's christmas eve, so nobody is open and I can't contact an attorney.
Thanks for any input.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I PRAY FOR YOU BE OKAY IN COURT AND I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CASE.
Check with the county clerk to see who served you and when, then
Check with the county clerk to see who served you and when, then file a motion to have the judgement dismissed for improper service. Some CA's never have you served in order to get a default judgement against you. This could be the case here.
