What happens if my car was never paid off after the dealer went bankrupt?

You are obligated to the lender to pay off your car. They retain a security interest in the vehicle until it is paid for.

What do I do if I have been summoned for a default judgement?

Sorry the pro bono attorney didn't want to take the time. The summons is to show that you got notice. You might bring up the improper service then, if the judge will hear it. They'll ask you to fill out a Homestead Deed to save items from being sold. In VA you're allowed $6,000 equity in a car, $5,000 equity in your home (or any other property if there's no equity there), $5,000 in your furniture, and your wedding and engagement rings. IRAs, 401(k)s, etc. are also safe. Keep whatever you fill out. Most likely they'll freeze your checking account, even though it's joint, so you might want to keep money out of there. Yes, you can file bankruptcy later, but sooner is better to keep them from getting money or property.

Can I make my boyfriend sign a quit claim out of title?

No, that would be fraud. You'll be responsible for the debt yourself, and I assume he'll surrender his ownership in it. If there's no equity in it, or too little, it won't be taken and the lender won't foreclose if you keep on paying.
