Facts & Questions about Bail Bonds
Bail is a way through which a defendant can be released on bail pending trial at a specified amount to the court. Bail bond agent pays this sum on your behalf and the defendant will report the court dates. It involves a guarantee of the defendant to pay the legal charges.
First option is to pay the full amount of the bond in CASH plus a filing fee that goes straight to the jail. For example, if you had a friend or loved one in jail at the Arapahoe County Jail in Centennial, CO on a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You could secure their freedom/release by giving the Jail the $3,000 CASH plus a filing fee in Arapahoe County of $10 for a total of $3,010.00.
Second option is after the bond is set, the qualified Cosigner or person willing to be responsible for the bond(s) contacts one of our friendly & professional bail bondsman to assist you for pennies on the dollar. By hiring a bondsman continuing with the example above calling for a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You would pay cash which is called Premium for the bond in the amount of up to 15% (Colo. Statute limit) of the bond amount in cash, credit, by using property or if you do not have all of the premium we could even do a payment plan depending on the bond amount (pay plans not available on bonds lower than $3,100). There is still a filing fee applied for each bond. So a $3,000 cash or surety bond would cost you up to $450 plus the filing fee of $10 in Arapahoe County for a total of $460. Now the State limit is 15%, however, if the co-signer is using Collateral the pricing will typically get better. In other words, depending on the collateral pledged by the co-signer the price could come down as low as $290 plus the filing fee of $10 for a total of $300. Third option is after the bond is set, and the Court includes the option to use property to post the bond which is usually available when bond amount is $10,000 or greater the bond is set as a $10,000 CASH/PROPERTY/OR SURETY BOND. In this case the Cosigner could pledge a Home or some REAL property with the Court and the Court placing a lien on the Co-Signers home in the amount of the bond plus the jail filing fee to secure the persons freedom/release.
Fourth option is in setting the bond the Judge decides to give the person in jail a Personal Recognizance bond or a P.R. bond and allow them to essentially sign and be released.
Firstly, find a bail bond agent and give him some important information about the defendant such as name, date of birth, charges, and jail. The agent will do the paperwork, explain how it works, and post the bond so that the defendant will be released within the shortest time possible and you remain informed of the process at each stage.
The process of release is dependent on the workload and processes of the jail. Smaller facilities can be done in the space of an hour and busier facilities can take several hours. After posting the bond, paperwork is done and personal belongings are recovered and the defendant is released by the jail. The timing depends, yet the agents strive to make the process faster.
Bail bond fee is not refundable because it is the service that is given by the agent to ensure that the defendant is released. This payment is to cover the risk and effort of posting the bond and seeing the defendant adhere to the requirements of the court irrespective of the outcome of the case.
Collateral is an asset such as property, jewels or a vehicle that is used as collateral in order to get a bail bond. It is essential in certain situations to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court. The collateral returned after the case is closed and all obligations have been fulfilled leaving both parties at ease.
Well, it is possible to co-sign remotely. Signatures can be made electronically or with the use of safe means, this is why you could even help even without being physically present. That is because the process is made in such a way that allows co-signers wherever they are and the defendant is released without the needless complications or delays.
Failure to appear before the court may lead to a bench warrant that will lead to the arrest of the defendant and the loss of the bond. The co-signer is also liable to pay the money. Communication with the bail bond agent is important to deal with the situation and discuss the ways to resolve the situation.
CASH. Cash can function as collateral as well. For example, if someone needed a $5,000 bond and they had no collateral they may be required to put up SOME cash collateral. The bail company may ask for $500 cash collateral in addition to the premium charged. However, unlike the premium the $500 cash collateral would be returned in full to the cosigner’s upon the cosigners provided proof that the case/bond has been released. Home or Real Property. The home or real property to be pledged via a deed of trust may be in Colorado or outside of Colorado just so the property to be used is not currently situated in a Homestead State. Colorado is NOT a homestead State. The bail company will place a lien on the home to the extent of the bond and the lien will remain in place until the bond is fully released which means the case made it to a final disposition. Jewelry. We have jewelry appraisers that will appraise the jewelry and we allocate the amount as collateral. Upon the closing of the case and release of the bond the jewelry is returned to cosigner(s). See below how jewelry can be used to pay the premium on the bond. Credit/Debit Card Collateral. We would not charge the card until and ONLY if the defendant fails to appear or fails to pay all premium as agreed. If you have a valid credit/debit bank card call us for details on how this CAN be used as a form of collateral.
Auto Title. If the cosigner has an original, GREEN TITLE to a vehicle meaning the property is fully paid off and the Title is in the name(s) of the cosigner(s) and the vehicle in question is in good working condition with a current registration and valid proof of insurance it could be pledged as collateral. Now the amount of Collateral allocated to the pledged property will also vary. Obviously the value that will be allocated will be directly tied to the year, make & model as well as the current condition of the vehicle being pledged. We give 0 (zero) value to non-registered and non-working or driving vehicles.
Un Secured-Lines-of-credit. A portion of a credit line may be used a collateral. Bank Account and/or Annuity Accounts. These may be used as collateral to the extent of the bond(s) being posted.
Yes, they have payment plans so that the process is easier. Through these plans, you can pay the bond fee in installments and this eases the burden on your pocket. Such alternative means provide an assurance that obtaining a bond is available even under unforeseen circumstances, and the defendant gets the assistance required to get out of prison.
The Qualified Co-signer would have to enter into an agreement with bail company agreeing to see to it that all outstanding premiums to be paid over a future period of time are fully paid as agreed AND …… Put down as much as possible at the time the full amount of the bail is posted by the bondsman (the down payment must be at least 50% or half of the required bail premium). For example, if someone had a $20,000 bond a co-signer would have to put down at least $1,250 on the premium and agree to pay installments on specific dates until all outstanding premiums are paid in full. Because the qualified co-signer is borrowing premium funds by using a payment plan, the pay plan must be strictly followed. Any defaults or failure to comply with payment plan terms could result in the re-arrest of the defendant. All payments must be made as agreed.
