The only paper I ever saw on this court situation said that I had to appear to tell why I wasn't in contempt of court for not showing up over a credit card... It said I should appear on the 17th. (this is the first time I have seen any information about this court situation) I came down with Pnemonia and was in and out of the hospital and in bed for 12 days. (I missed this hearing) I called the court house and explained that I had been sick and was wanting to schedule another hearing. I also called the prosecuting attorney and he has not returned my calls. I was told by the court that I have a warrant for failure to appear and I will go to jail with a bail amount 3,000. (what I owe on credit card) I have been paying for my bankruptcy for the last 3 months but can't get it filed until I pay for it in full. I have young children and lost my job after 7 years of employment. I live in Indiana. WHat can I do? Will I have to stay in jail until I pay for this credit card from 3 years ago? When I pay for the rest of my Bankruptcy and it is filed, will I be able to dismiss this debt.. Please help

Thanks
