Indianapolis, IN asked in Criminal Law for Indiana

Q: I decided to check mycase and found a writ but have never been notified of a court date or served any paperwork

I was arrested and released on bond never had an arrainment- i showed up on the day they gave me upon release and was told by the clerk that they had declined to file charges, then it appears a year after the issue they refiled the charges with different charges and I was never notified or served, never given any information about any further court dates and decided to check just to see and saw they just issued a writ of bodily attachment because they made an error as of 10/28/2022 which it appears was a year after they refiled the charges. So this is 2 yrs since the incident occurred. I have literally not received anything at all once I was released what do I do?
