If there is a Judgment against you, you need to pay it. Not going to court was a big mistake because the Judge did not hear your side of the story. Also, if you would have gone, and the Landlord didn't show, you probably could have asked for a dismissal. Depending on which State and other factors, a plaintiff may not be required to go, or may ask for a summary Judgment. I suspect this is what happened.

Once a Judgment is entered and the time period for appeal has passed, there is nothing that can be done. You should probably talk to an attorney as Judgments do not go away until paid.
