warrant of arrest

hi, paano po ba ang serving ng warrant of arrest? may unpaid credit cards and personal loan ako. then sa dati kong boarding house may punta dw na pakilala taga cityhall para inconfirm kung dun pa ako nakatira kasi tumawag dw ang qc rtc na tomorrow ipapadala ung copy ng warrant of arrest para sa akin. kailangn po ba i check muna kung doon pa nakatira ung tao or pagpunta nila doon dala na nila ung warrant? pls help po.

Credit card companies are good at bluffing. The persons who do the harassment are usually employees of collection agencies. Sometimes they will send you a copy of criminal complaint with a threat that if you don't settle your obligation, they will file it in court. This is intended to create a sense of urgency on you and so you will raise heaven and hell just so you can pay your debt. The naive ones are forced to sell some properties just to avoid getting dragged in a court litigation. Invariably, these card companies succeed using this tactic.

From the looks of it, there shouldn't be a warrant of arrest against you because what you have are mere civil liabilities (credit card and personal loan) unless, it was accompanied with fraud or deceit, it should be a case of collection for a sum of money only not a criminal case.

Another indication that there was no real warrant of arrest is the fact that the people who went to your residence did not have a copy of the warrant with them. The warrant is served by police officers not court employees. What court servers serve are summons for civil complaints.

I have good reasons to believe that it's a bluff.

But instead of speculating, why not try to verify from the court that allegedly issued the warrant of arrest? Do not attempt to go there personally because you could really be arrested if indeed there is standing warrant of arrest against you.

thank you po mga atty.. pero pwede po ba ung ganun na may tatawag from qc rtc sa dasma cityhall ng kung saan ako nakatira para ipaverify kung dun pa ako nakatira sa declared home address bago ipadala sa cityhall ung kopya ng warrant?

tinanong namn dw po ng kausap kung para saan ung warrant pero hndi dw po sinabi ng mga pumunta ang sabi lang dw po ipinapacheck lang kung doon pa nakatira kasi kung hindi na dw po hindi na ipapadala sa dasma cityhall ung warrant..

pumunta dw po ung dati kong land lady sa cityhall para iverify ung pagpunta ng personnel from cityhall pero ag sabi dw po wala naman itiniwag sa kanila ang qc rtc..

it may be just a process server. warrants of arrest are normally served by the police.

better to just stop speculating, call the court or ask someone to verify for you.
