All Things Bail Bonds

i think its not what you think asked:
the public defender recommended that i get a bail bondsman. i have no idea what a bail bondsman is or anything, i was told i’d probably have to provide collateral but i don’t have anything at all, everything i have is still being paid for so its not mine. i have no idea how much bail will be. Its for misdemeanor theft of property, how much can i expect bail to be? its in arkansas
i’m pretty sure its a class a misdemeanor theft of property cause it was less than $500

I have no idea how this system works! I know that someone who is arrested has to pay money to get bail, but do they get it back if they show up for court?
How does a Bail bondsman make money? Do they lend money to those who can’t afford to find their own bail money? How does the Bondsman make money on this?
And where do Bounty Hunters fit into this?

tomawa asked:
A friend paid $900 to a bail bondsman towards a $1600 bail bond and his parents put their house up as collateral. He was making monthly payments to the bail bondsman but charges against him were dismissed within a couple weeks so he quit paying. Does he still owe the remaining $700 and will their still be a lien on his parents’ home?

Shane asked:
I am a temporary bail bond agent working in the state of florida. Obviosly I know the higher the risk, the bigger the bond, the more you get paid. What I would like to know is if you are a bail bondsman, how much do you make a year, or how much you have heard bail bondsman make. This is just curiosity, since even my boss doesnt sound like he is going to be paying me much when I do become a permanent bail bond agent.

Lovely Lady 27 asked:
They tell me he has a special kind of bond that I have to pay the full amount and can’t use a bail bonds person. Can I after he sees the Judge today? b/c I don’t have the money for the full amount. Well, I could get it but I don’t want to have to pay it back and I think he deserved to sit in jail for a few days. He has been in their since friday night. Do you his parents and I are mean for letting him sit? I’m 27 by the way we aren’t kids. I’m so mad what an idiot. I keep telling him he better be miserable in there. What if he would have killed himself or others. I’m pregnant too we can’t afford this crap. I told him this is the last stupid thing he is alowed or I’m gone. I don’t think I’m being to harsh what do you think? Oh that is a few questions in there sorry for rambling. I’m just upset.

Mike S asked:
I live in the state of FL- A friend was arrested a few months back- His bond was 10 grand- His parents put up 5 grand, and he found a bail bondsman who would pay the remainder if I signed for him- Long story short- I provided my signature- he set up a payment plan with them…something like he would pay 50 per week until the 500 was paid off- The Lady working at the Bail Bond dive only asked me for my i.d. and how long I have lived in Fl…..I signed, he was out- His charges were dropped a weeks later and he moved out of town- The Bail Bonds dive is now calling me daily wanting me to pay the 500 he never paid them- Am I really responsible? What if I don’t pay?

melo asked:
I called a bondsman in miami to post bail for a friend and i told him i was on my way and was going to pay with debit. On the way i found a closer bail bonds place and went with them. Later today, the first place I called keeps calling me and telling me that they thought i was a “serious guy” and posted the bail for my friend and that i need to go and pay. how could they do this if the other place asked for so much info before they placed the bail. what can i do?

Lucy asked:
I am currently staying at home until my youngest goes to school in a year. I am interested in working for a bail bonds company, as in the office. Could someone let me know what skills I need to have and what to expect as far as what the job entails and pay. Thank you

I’ve been reading all the other answers to how bail bonds work and they are confusing they all mention something about a criminal. I owe 4,000 in traffic tickets and I was wanting to look into getting a bail bondsman to avoid me from going to jail. I know you have to put a 10% downpayment but then what? Do I have to pay the 4,000 in full or can I get a plan, that is my question.
I understand that I will still have to pay the 4,000 there’s no doubt about that. But once tickets are warrants can you still make payment arrangments or do you have to pay in full. My ex-boyfriend was able to make arrangements once his tickets were warrants but that was with a county and they weren’t city tickets, so I don’t know if it works the same?
