All Things Bail Bonds

OK. Bail BOndsman work like this

you pay 10% plus a fee generally to get them out. They guarentee the bond to the court. The person who bails them out or the bondsman can revoke it ant anytime without reason.

The bondsman must pay the court if they do not show. He/she is 100 responsible for the money and through the contract so is the person who bailed them out. That means if he looses his money to the court, he will have right to collect in full from the person who bailed them out.

Generally, there is no return on the money. THe court usually allows them time to find them but once money is paid its gone.

Also, typically, the bondsman asks for collateral, in the event that the person they bail out runs. So whatever you put up gets lost and taken by the bondsman if you dont show up for court

Yes the bail bond company has to pay if they person does not show up if you use a bail bond company.

But the people who sign for the bond also sign to pay back the bonding company, often on larger bonds they have to put up thier home for the bond, So the bond company merely takes the property of the people who sign the bond

So what they did was the dad would have signed for the bond, so if the daughter don’t show up, the bond company pays, then they go back to the dad to get the money paid back to them.

you explained it just right
