What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I'm in Colorado, this supposedly happened in Florida
I apologize if this question seems confusing but honestly I'm really confused by the whole thing. I'll start with anything I think might be relevant. I'm sorry if it isn't.
Several months ago (I think in May) my mom, who lived in Maine, says she got a call from a 1-800 number looking for me saying they were trying to serve me. When I looked up the number that had called her all reports by other people were saying it was a scam so I didn't do anything with it. Now a few weeks ago I find out that supposedly someone called my step-mom in Florida looking for me. When I asked her for the phone number (thinking maybe it's related to the call my mom had received) she said that a couple police officers also went to her house with a warrant for me. I have no idea what this would be for. The even weirder thing, in my opinion, is that I've never lived in Florida and haven't lived with my step-mom in about 21 years, and when I did live with her it was in Texas. Also they were supposedly looking for me under my married name (not my name currently, previous marriage). When I lived with my step-mom 21 years ago I was not yet married. She is now not answering my messages so I can't get any more info from her. I did go to the state/county websites for every place I've ever lived and did an active warrant search and nothing came up at all, anywhere.
I haven't done anything illegal that I'm aware of, seriously. I'm completely at a loss as to what this is all regarding. I do have some debts so I can believe debt collectors may have called her but would police officers have warrants for outstanding debts? I'm kind of freaking out and been searching online for information but I'm not finding much that appears to apply. I tried calling the sheriffs office near where I think my step-mom lives (I haven't really had contact with her in years, I only found out she's in Florida through my half-sister, but even she doesn't know what town she's in) and they said they can't give out information over the phone. I live across the country, obviously I can't just pop on in there to ask.
There's a whole lot of other stupid family stuff going on with that side of the family right now so I can also believe she's making this up to mess with me, but I don't want to risk it. Ya know? So I guess what I'm asking is... how can I find out if there is an active warrant out for me? Like I said I checked all the state/county sites for everywhere I lived, is that sufficient? Would police go with a warrant to collect a debt? Would police go without a warrant to collect a debt? (She may have been confused about the warrant part of it, who know?) I'm not exactly hiding where I am... I have an active online presence, my car is registered in my name, I am in college and receiving federal student aid, I'm on medicaid, etc... I don't know why anyone would be looking for me in a state where I've never lived. I'm just so confused.
