I'm confused. First you say you got a notice to show up in court. Then you say the notice was of an arbitration award. If you did not receive notice of the arbitration hearing, then you can vacate the judgement on grounds of improper service. But that's only a delaying tactic. They will refile. So you should offer to settle.
