Not sure about NY processing laws but you may want to check and see if they can serve you via US mail. In some states, they have to deliver them in person or leave them at your last known address. If you weren't served properly then you can file a motion to vacate judgment.
If US mail is allowed.......then you don't have to sign anything or appear. You just get a default judgment.
Now, if they haven't shown up on your CRs by now, they probably won't.......which is nice for you (and a bit lucky - in NY judgments can stay on your CRs for 20 years).
It's a little surprising that they haven't tried to collect on the judgment. Wage garnishment is allowed in NY (even though they can only garnish like 10%) so just be aware that somewhere down the road they may try to collect on these.
