What Are My Options if I Cannot Afford to Pay Bail?

 Posted on November 14, 2020 in Bail Bonds

Being arrested can put you in a difficult financial position. The amount of bail set by a judge may be thousands of dollars, and if you are unable to pay this amount, you may feel that you have no other option but to stay in jail. Unfortunately, this can lead to more financial problems, such as the loss of your job or the inability to pay child support. As additional penalties and financial issues stack up, it can seem like you are in an impossible situation with no way out. Fortunately, a bail bond can help you get released, allowing you to return to your normal life as you determine how to deal with the charges you are facing.

At Doc’s Bail Bonds, we strive to help those who have been arrested get released from jail as easily and affordably as possible. When you use a bail bond, you will only be required to pay 10 percent of the total amount of bail set by the judge in your case. In addition to covering the amount of your bail so you can secure a release, we will make sure you meet all requirements during your proceedings, including showing up at any required court appearances in the future.

If you are unable to make a cash or credit card payment of 10 percent of your total bail, we can work with you to find other affordable alternatives, including:

• Collateral as cash - We can temporarily hold property that you own until you can raise the money to pay 10 percent of your bail. Collateral may include motor vehicles, jewelry, collectibles, the title to real estate property, or anything else that is close in value to the amount you need to pay. Once payment is made, we will turn your property back over to you.

• Flexible financing - We also can help you set up a payment plan that will allow you to pay off the amount owed over time. Our payment plans are easy and affordable, and we never perform credit checks, so we will be able to work with you to make sure you will be able to make these payments.
