It's possible that the party suing you has obtained a default and judgment against you. The best you can do at this point is file a motion to set aside the default and judgment if that has happened. If it hasn't gotten that far yet, you can specially file a motion to quash, attaching a declaration as to why you could not have been served (out of the country -- provide copies of airline tickets, etc.). If that doesn't work, the judge likely will permit you to answer, and then follow the normal lawsuit process.
