What to do i missed a court hearing and a bailable warrant issued


02-Jul-2023 (In Banking / Finance Law)
Hi, I defaulted on a loan and had a court date that I missed because the notice was sent to me the afternoon of the court date. My address and contact details have changed since the loan was taken. After receiving an email with the legal notice, I replied to the bank representatives in order to comply with them and solve the issue. But instead, they replied to me with a bailable arrest warrant that has been issued in my name and a second court date has been set. How do I navigate through this and arrange for a settlement between me and the bank, so that court can be avoided? I do not have the finance to immediately repay the entire amount, but can pay a decided amount in installments.

Do not be panic. Now also you can visit the court and verify what is next date of hearing. You can also check what transpired on last occassion. If warrant is issued, you can move for cancellation of arrest warrant, in meantime before next date of hearing. Dont worry, you are not the only person who has defaulted. You should be worried unless it is willful default.
