    You can contact the court and see how they did service, merely not being there, really does not stop them.
    They can
    1. serve it to the last known address they had for you
    2. serve it though publication if you can't be found.

    Perhaps contact them and work out a payment plan would be good idea.
    Or see if they did improper service you can go to court and try to get it thrown out.
