Hi I'm a US citizen and have around 15k or less credit card debt. All government loans were paid off. Something happened three and a half years ago in my home town and I had to leave Washington state and took care of it. So my question is: it's has been 3 and a half year and I'm heading back to washington state for short visit.
1. I'm sure the debt did gall into collection agency. Will it go to court?
2. Since I had been gone since 2007 and will there be a warrant on me since I didn't appear to court (if there was one)
3. I will be entering Vancouver bc airport then to Seattle by driving. I'm afraid I will get caught for warrant at the border.

Hopefully someone can answer my questions and thanks for the help in advance.

Bad credit card debt is a civil matter, not criminal. If it went to court and you didn't show up, a judgment was probably made. That means if the creditor finds you, and you have a job, the court will attach your wages. There is no warrant for failure to appear in civil cases, you simply lose by default.
