Re: small claims suit

usually you will not get arrested for a civil bench warrant if you are pulled over on a traffic ticket. But you never know. The best way to be sure you are all right, is go to the court clerk and talk to them. Sometimes you can just appear asap before the court and get the warrant withdrawn, sometimes you can call the pay day loan company and make arrangements so they do not actually issue the warrant.
