Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

missed pretrial conference and judgement entered

The process server gave the

summons to my tenant who

speaks broken english. He was

not told what it was and did

not give it to me. A judgement

was entered against me. The

letters I received from the

plantiff's attorney have no

return address indicationg the

letter came from an attorney. I

thought it was junk mail. Thr

bill is from a dentist who

received $1000 for a $1500

bill. The sent me one

statement, then turned it over

to collection. Default

Judgement of $1093.13 was

entered (includes attorney

fees/cost)

Is there anything I can do?
