FAQ: Do I have to continue to make my payments once the case is closed?

Yes, payments must be made until the balance is paid off. The bail premium is fully earned by the Bail Bonds company the minute the defendant steps out of jail. Payment plans are a way to finance a bail bond, but just because the case is dropped, not filed or the person is convicted the payments must still be made. People often assume that a bond exoneration means they’re done with their bail bond and all responsibilities associated, but a bond exoneration just means that the liability for the full amount of the bail is gone, but the bail premium is still owed if the balance has not been paid off. If you fail to pay your bail bond premium, the account can go to collections.
