What is the name of your state? Massachusetts

Guys I'm not sure if there is anything that I can do, my problem is that in march I had to go to court because of a Collection account that I have been fighting since last September when I recieved a letter from the Collection Agency telling me that they would sue if I did not contact them about an outstanding account. An account that turns out is not even mine. I sent them a request for validation, asking for the original acount holder, amount owed, account number. I even called the original company who said to me that they did not have me in there records using my name, address, social security number, date of birth, anything. Anyways I did not hear from them I sent another letter via certified mail once again asking for them to validate the debt, then they sued me, I went to court and they did not have any of the information I requested (3 times via certified mail) they then continued the case and said I would get a notice of the new date in the mail. Instead of a notice of a new trial date I get an Order of Judgement for failure to appear.

Is there any way to appeal this, they never even gave me a new trial date, What can I do??
