Re:
Most defaults occur when defendants ignore or do not properly answer service of complaint and summons or other legal process. Occasionally, a default is entered after legally-defective or insufficient service or notice.
You will probably need legal assistance to get your property back and/or have the default set aside (if possible at this point). You probably have some prior legal problem (such as non-payment of rent???) that also needs addressing as part of the process of getting things straightened out.
If you can't afford a lawyer, you should inquire about pro-bono or legal-aid type services in your community.
