What is the name of your state? KY
About 5 years ago I had a check returned from the bank and at the time I was ill and did not get the check paid. I received a notice to appear in court. I made the assumption that this was like a traffic ticket and if it was paid before the court date I wouldn't have to appear. I paid the check and never thought another thing about it.
I had a background check done and it says that I'm a fugitive - because a bench warrant was issued when I didn't show up for court.
I'm a nervous wreck and I don't know what I should do!
