Top 4 Common Myths about Bail Bonds Debunked

If you have never worked with a bail bond company in Alabama before, you may believe some of the myths swirling around about how the process works, what types of payments are accepted, and similar. Before you toss the idea of getting a Montgomery bail bond to the side, consider the following debunked myths below. You will find that working with a bail bond company is easier than you may think.

  1. Bail bond agencies only accept cash as payment.

If you have been told that a Montgomery AL bail bond agency will only accept cash as a form of payment, you have been misled. Bail bondsmen allow you to pay with cash, but you do not have to. For instance, many agencies allow you to put up collateral equal to the bond amount. In addition, you may be able to use other options such as financing, wire transfers from credit cards, and the like.

  1. Individuals can only be bailed out of jail by family members.

Fortunately, this is just a myth and anyone in jail can be bailed out by anyone who wants to help them.

  1. You are free and never have to return to court.

Unfortunately, as much as you would like to be free, it is important that you pay attention to court dates and show up for them as well. Just because bail was posted for you does not mean that you have a free ticket and a clean slate.

  1. The amount of bail can be changed.

The amount of bail is set by the judge and a bail bondsman is unable to negotiate a lower rate for you. The set amount of bail is determined in the court room based on the crime committed.

If you are looking for a bail bondsman to work with, don’t let myths get in the way of your decision. The above four myths are false and you will find that obtaining a bail bond is a quick and easy process.
