    Credit card default - possible arrest at immigration
    Dear All:

    I was an immigrant student in the US from a period of Aug 2002 - May 2004. During this period, I ran up a credit card bill of $5400 on my Citibank CC which I could not clear before I left due to financial constraints

    I am now in a position to make part payments towards the card. I called Citibank with my details but they could not locate me.

    I am a little scared about the fact that the matter may have been reported to a court of law and there may be a pending arrest warrant against me. Is there a possibility of the same? In which case, would I be picked up at immigration (I plan to travel to the US in the next week - for an official visit; my passport number and my visa are both new; not the same as my earlier visit)? Do such cases get a default judgement against them?

    Also, I did do a run on my civil and criminal records (both state and national) using Intelius and no record showed up (meaning it came up clean). Would such a report be of any trustworthiness?

    You are too funny. Nobody ever gets arrested for debt, not even immigrants. If that was the case do you know how many peope would be in jail?
    Running up a credit card has nothing to do with immigration issues, so you need to just chill.lol
