How Can I Post Bail if I Have Limited Financial Resources?

 Posted on February 25,2021 in Bail Bonds

Nobody wants to spend any more time in jail or police custody than they have to. In most cases, those who have been arrested can be released quickly by posting the amount of bail set by a judge. However, people who do not earn a large income or have much money in the bank will likely be wondering how they can make a payment of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, a bail agent from Doc’s Bail Bonds can post a bail bond on your behalf and help you find affordable options for paying what is owed.

Bail Bond Requirements

When one of our bail bondsmen posts bail on your behalf, we will pay the full amount of bail set by the judge. To secure a bail bond, you will typically only need to pay us 10 percent of the total bail amount. For example, if your bail is set at $10,000, you will pay $1,000, and we will post the full amount for you. To ensure that we can be refunded this amount at the conclusion of your case, we will work with you to make sure you follow all of the court’s requirements and appear in court at all scheduled hearings.

Affordable Payment Options

Since you will only be required to pay a small percentage of your total bail amount, you may be able to gather the necessary funds, such as by using the cash you have on hand or borrowing money from family members, friends, or employers. However, if you cannot immediately afford to put down the 10 percent, we can provide you with other options. We offer affordable and flexible financing plans without performing credit checks. Under one of these plans, we can set up a monthly payment to allow you to pay off the amount owed over time without affecting your ability to cover your regular, daily expenses.

We can also hold collateral temporarily until a cash payment can be made. This collateral may include a variety of different assets, such as the title to a vehicle or a home, as well as jewelry, artwork, or collectibles that have financial value. You can turn these assets over to us until you are able to raise the funds to pay your bail bond, and once we receive payment, you will get your property back.
