You need an attorney to appeal the (default?) judgement to the court on the basis of lack of service of process. If the other side can prove that you were served with the suit, but failed to appear, then you will have to pay the judgement, interest and all.

The time for an appeal may well have passed. There is, however, a process by which you can proceed in the trial court to "set aside" the judgment (if certain criteria are met.) In what Florida county was this judgment entered?
