YES. If there is a violation of the judgment or order(s) and also if you do not appear in Court. This is all punishable by CONTEMPT OF COURT. This is applicable in civil court as well as in criminal court.

Once a creditor has a judgment against you they can issue a bench warrant against you for failure to show up for an Order to Show Cause Court Hearing.
This hearing allows the debtor to appear and explain to the Court why they cannot immediately pay the debt in full.

Technically, it's not an arrest warrant, it's a "Writ of Body Attachment", but it has the same effect as an arrest warrant in that you are held by the police until you see a judge. Not many judges will issue them, but they do exist and I've seen it happen.

No they cannot do this, it's the law. If they have threatened you with this or anyone you know, report them file a complaint which would be criminal and they can and will be prosecuted for this.
It's common creditors will threaten you with everything they can, stick it too them. file a complaint.

Absolutely not. Though they have been known to write letters pretending they can, but they are bluffing hoping to get paid.

No, that is one of the reasons our country was founded - no debtors prison!

They often pretend that they can, but no, they cannot.
