Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana

Re: Writ Of Attatchment

A writ of attachment is a proceeding to enforce a judgment, a "proceeding supplemental to judgment," enabling the sheriff or other officer to attach items designated in the writ and hold them for sale to apply against the judgment. It's not a "body attachment," an archaic name for an arrest warrant against a debtor for failing to appear. If you did fail to appear at a proceeding, then the judge probably did issue an order for your arrest, which can be served at any time convenient to the police -- at home, in your car, at work or at play. If this is the kind of attachment you mean, you should consider going to the court, telling them your good excuse for failing to appear, ask for another court date, and you will probably be released. Then keep all your court dates so that the mention of your name will not cause noxious odors to rise in the nostrils of the court staff. Good luck.
