The statute of limitations for an action on a written contract is ten years pursuant to Iowa Code section 614.1(5). The fact that they are suing you in your maiden name may or may not be important, depending on whether you have filed an answer or not. If you haven't filed an answer and 20 days have elapsed you're out of luck.
