STATEWIDE -- Some people in Indiana may not get their stimulus check. 

The Indiana Supreme Court yesterday refused to step-in and stop creditors in the state from seizing checks for past-due debts. 

The group Indiana Legal Services asked the court to protect the 14-hundred dollars that Congress started sending-out this month. The high court did not explain why it rejected Indiana Legal Services' case. 

The decision leaves open the option for creditors to collect on people's checks.
