    Ok. I hoped that simply saying "no" I would get you to give me enough information to work with. :D

    They can't somehow punish you for failing to return a phone call. And I doubt that, even if they knock on your door in person, they can force you to answer their questions. That can only be done by a court order.

    You are not required to talk to them, they may even try and fake you out by coming to your door with someone that has a badge, police, sheriff office, and so on, but unless they have a warrant to enter your home, you don't have to let them in, and personally I would never let them in my home unless they had one.

    They can issue you a court order to come into the court but again, they can not force you to make a statement or answer questions.
