Naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked and be deported to the country from whence they came. You may want to read the article linked earlier. I think the OP's question ha been answered.

Now, I need to re-entry to the US due to my business schedule. Would my bed credit score prevents me to enter US?
By the way, I am holding US citizenship.
Not unless you intend to buy the plane ticket with a credit card.

I'd assume creditors would welcome your return to the States.

Because they're that much closer to getting paid.

Trying again (sorry):

FAQ #4463 | Last Reviewed: 11/26/2013
Passports: Denials, Revocations, and Restrictions
Denials
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) may deny your passport application or renewal for a number of reasons, including if you:
Are in default on a repatriation or medical assistance loan
• Are behind on child support payments
• Are subject of certain court orders or a foreign extradition request
• Were committed to a mental institution, or legally declared incompetent by a court
• Were subject to a previous denial or revocation
• Were issued a temporary passport for specific reasons

USA.gov: The U.S. Government's Official Web Portal

Also, any warrants for skipped court dates (could also apply re debts) would be a denial issue.

Exactly. The OP should make sure there are no current warrants out for his arrest, etc. The US may let him in, and arrest him immediately. The people on this forum are not legal experts, OP. Best to consult an immigration lawyer, who should know what to look for to make sure you are admitted with no problems. You need to ask an expert, not strangers on an internet forum who are not experts in immigration law.

You are completely misunderstanding the vast status difference between a visa holder, a GC holder and a US citizen. For the most part the "strangers" on this forum who regularly contribute to it are pretty knowledgeable about immigration laws and most have gone through the process. The expense of an immigration lawyer is not necessary in most cases.

Arrest??? For bad debt??????? A good portion of US citizens would be in jail then. They don't serve arrest warrants for bad debt. A debtor is issued a subpoena to appear.
If you don't show in court, a judgment is awarded to the plaintiff. Then they have to seek the means to collect.

Child support matters are a totally different issue.

You may want to read up on legal proceedings concerning unpaid legal debt.
