Can you clarify the amount for which you are being sued, please? I'm guessing it is $176,290 or $1,762.90.

The amount doesn't matter except to determine whether this is a Small Claims or superior court case.
If you have absolutely no means of paying this debt the creditor will get a Judgment against you. That judgment will be good for 10 years, renewable for another 10 - in most cases.
They will hope that during the next 20 years you'll gather together the money to pay them.
If you have cash on hand you can offer to settle with them - some creditors are settling (literally) for pennies on the dollar.
