Re: Debt Collections

Yes, but not on account of not paying the debt. Rather, the arrest order can issue from the Court for your failure to obey the Court's order for, for example, not appearing for an examination in aid of execution,if you were subpoened to attend. The 'arrest' is the punishment for not obeying the Court order. Your failure is an example of contempt of court. Note, the order of bodily attachment must have a purge provision.
