It may happen in error. You need to file a motion to vacate the DWP- there is a fee attached to the Motion. If you can show that the clerk has made an error in the case and/or you were not notified and can prove so, then you may ask the judge to order the clerk to refund the filing fee for the motion to vacate. You must move quickly.
I hope this helps-
