Normally ...yes you would be served a Statement of claim....then file a defense within 20 days.
Having said that, it is not unheard of that agencies do not serve you but claim they did in order to have the court case come up...you not show and they win by default.
If you become aware of this file a motion to have judgment set aside so you can offer up defense.
This will in most cases be done providing it is done within a reasonable amount of time from judgment date.
