Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

I was not served but got a default judgement

I was never served a summons but I got a default judgement. I went to the county clerk's office and got a copy of the affidavit of service but I still know I was never served as it says. The discription of the person served was not very close to my discription as I am 37, 5' 8'' and 275 pounds the affidavit says 40, 6' and 200 pounds. I am not sure what I can do with this but I know that I was never served. Any help on what to do?
