Now that you’ve hired an agent for Arapahoe County bail bonds, you might be wondering what you should be expecting from your agent. It’s only natural because you are protecting your money and your defendant. Here’s what you should see and expect from your bail bondsman.
License
Bonding someone out entails a lot of responsibilities, especially for a bondsman. To regulate such business, the Colorado Division of Insurance controls how companies and bail bonding agents provide their services. A licensed local bail bondsman took classes to learn about these rules, and his identification is included in the roster of agents. This means it will be easy for you to know if the agent you are talking to has a solid reputation in taking care of his/her clients. Any complaint or
reports against the bonding agent will show up when you do a quick search at the DORA website.
Our agents are licensed and registered in the Division of insurance. You are free to ask for proof of their licensing and run their license number to confirm its authenticity. Our agents always update their licenses and do their responsibilities as a professional.
A contract for Arapahoe County bai
l bonds
A contract is a physical proof that you entered a deal with an Arapahoe bondsman. This states what services should the bondsman deliver to help your loved one get out of jail. It should show:
- The parties involved in the contract (you, the company, and the defendant)
- Bail bond fee or premium – depending on the amount of bail, you usually pay for 10 percent bail bonds. This is a non-refundable fee, and it is your payment to the bail bondsman for his/her services.
- Your responsibilities as an indemnitor/cosigner
- The obligations of the defendant
The contract should be handed to you before you give your payment. Our agent will double check if you have read and understood the contract before you sign and accept the fees. This is to help ensure mutual safety between you and our agent. If you have questions about the contract, you are free to ask him/her, and the bonding agent will answer it.
Payment options
The bondsman should have options for you to pay the necessary fees for bail bonds service. You can pay in cash in the office, or in the detention facility, or(303) 778-0026. through a credit card. Other payment arrangements should be discussed. Should the bondsman insist in you paying him/her through her personal bank account or without signing a contract, report him to the Division of Insurance as well as the authorities.
