Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

I have a summons to appear in court very soon from a debt collection agency/law firm stating I owe a little over $1500. The only piece of evidence is a affidavit of indebtedness signed by a member of the collections firm. Other than appearing, what are my options?
