legal question
Mabe I can get some help here. I was served papers for a charged off credit card that was in my name. The credit card was charged off four years ago in a pretty messy divorce. I did not show up for court and subsequently they mailed me a paper that was titled notice for arrest warrant. Shame on me for thinking that I knew the law. I thought that thy would just make a judgement against me. I did not realize that in a civil matter they could attach a warrant for my arrest.
The amount that I owe is 6200. If I get pulled over on my way home from work can they put me in jail? I went to the judges office and one of his representatives told me that in order to get the warrant dropped I would have to call the firm that is sueing me. So I did ,and they were no help. Do you think that it is time for me to retain a lawyer? or should I keep trying to deal with the collectors myself? thx in advance for any help
