Well, first things first. You need to find out if you in fact were served with the papers. If not, you can move to set aside the judgement and move for a protective order on the deposition. If you were served with the complaint and failed to respond, you still may have certain rights to set aside the judgement. You will need to see a consumer lawyer for that. If you were served and all the paper work was correct, then you need to appear at the deposition. If you feel certain documents they are asking for are improper, you can object to them. But it has to be on proper legal grounds. Want to know the law?
