Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

I was sued and the plaintiff got a default judgment. I was not lawfully served - on the summons & complaint, the individual "served" was someone they made up. I did not receive any documents either by "service" or by mail. I want to file a motion to quash service and to have the judgment voided. I have the CCP codes for quashing service but I have searched for and haven't found what I would need for the P & A for voiding the judgment. Can anyone point me in the right direction such as code section(s), maybe some case law (if I need it) I can look up, etc.?

Thanks!
