How long do you have to leave a state till all of your tickets have disappeared, and how long does it take for things on your credit to disappear.
I am thinking of moving from Texas to Florida.
Yes, warrants can follow you, and NO arrest isn��t likely unless it is convenient to hold and transfer you.
And if it is for a traffic violation, it can_t be used to impact your insurance rates since it is still technically a pending matter that you haven_t been found innocent of guilty of. But the outstanding warrant is technically an entirely new crime and you are a fugitive using the pure definition.
There isn��t anything to prevent you from being arrested in a different state but unless it is for a felony, you won��t be taken into custody.
The typical practice is mis-demeanor warrants aren��t extradited while felonies qualify for taking a fugitive into custody to be held for authorized and suitable transfer and transportation back to the issuing jurisdiction.
Extradition requires a formal process of the suspect waiving their rights of ppposing extradition since you��re entitled to oppose the transfer if you can demonstrate suitable reasons of why you shouldn��t be returned to the issuing jurisdiction.
If you default on your payments your accounts will likely move into the hands of a collection agency or ��law firm��.
Either way they still have to follow the law in order to force you to pay.
This means taking you to civil court to obtain a judgment.
But before they win a judgment against you in civil court, you have to be served a summons.
They can��t service you if they don��t know where you are.
Therefore, if the court cannot service you the collection agency or ��law firm�� will be unable to obtain a judgment in their favor.
Now all of these bill collectors will likely hit a brick wall if they can��t locate you.
So if you are leaving the state to avoid debts - keep a very low profile; because while it may not be viable to chase you for long - the debt remains as uncollected.
