If you received personal service is this a summons ordering you to appear before a court? If so, you must go to the specified court at the time and place shown. Take all of your records with you, regarding any and all payments, correspondence, title, leases, etc having to do with this property. To protect your rights in a collection action (if this is what the notice is for) you should hire a general practice attorney to look at the document you received and apply the law to the specific facts of your case. You may or may not owe money, you may or may not owe legal fees, and they may be required to observe fair debt collection act procedures.
