Do You Have To Pay Back A Bail Bondsman?
If you paid a bail bonds service, then you are hiring them for their service, once that service is rendered, it cannot be refunded. Bondsman are taking a big risk on their part to post your bail for you.
Explaining Bail Bonds Fees
The money a bail bonds company gets is a service fee for putting up the full bail amount on your behalf. So if you have a $100,000 bail bond, you will pay the bondsman $10,000 and the bondsman puts up the full $100,000 to the court for you.
The bail bonds company is taking a big risk, because if you do not show up for court, the bondsman will not get a refund for their $100,000.
What Happens If You Fail To Appear For A Bail Bond?
What happens if you sign for a bond and run? You signed a bail bond document stating that you are responsible for appearing in court at your appointed time. If you do not show up in court that means that the bail bond company is responsible for the full amount, meaning they will lose what they put down on your behalf unless you are found.
