If you did not sign the note, you are not liable.

You may have been listed as a tenant on the premises - not necessarily as a co-owner. Prior to a default being issued you still have time to reply. I suggest you Answer the complaint that was sent to you, file the original with the clerk of court and forward a copy to the attorney named on the pleadings.
