LA Bail Bond Store

When someone is arrested for a crime, then they post bail, there are two thoughts on the situation.

  • The defendant can return to work, receive paychecks, and pay off bills and support the family.
  • The defendant can spend more time surrounded by Credit and Paying for Bail
    LA Bail Bond Store

    A person’s bail is often very expensive. It can be in the thousands, or tens of thousands. A bail bond is 10% of the bail, but it is possible that even the bail bond is still expensive. You must wonder, does paying for bail affect credit score?

    You know how credit works, you prepay for an item with the credit card and then you pay off the card later. The process and concept is no different when using a credit card to pay for a bail bond. You may need to increase your spending limit, but as long as you pay off your card by the deadlines, you will not run into any issues.

    Learn more about bail, bail bonds, and how you can pay by going to LA Bail Bond Store, one of California’s top bail bond companies.

Small Savings Equals Big

california bail bonds

Saving money can be easy for some people, harder for others. We always try and justify all our purchases but in reality, we know we can let some things go and move around other spendings. Saving money is a long-term happening but here are some quick tips that will save small now but equal to big savings in the longer run.

  • Cook more meals at home and dine out less. One meal at a restaurant can cost $10-25+ per person. One person can spend that much on groceries to last them a handful of meals for the entire week.
  • Cancel luxury subscription services like gossip magazines, Netflix, and even the gym. Instead, catch up on celebrity gossip online or at the newspaper/ magazine stand and work out in the beautiful outdoors!
  • Say no to weekly shopping trips for things you want, but don’t need, like clothes and games.
  • Order one or two less drinks during happy hour or when you’re out with friends at the bar. Better yet – buy a bottle of wine and invite your friends over to drink at home (and have everyone pitch in for the drinks). You’ll get more drunk, you won’t have to yell over the already loud atmosphere, and you won’t have to worry about driving. So many pluses here!
  • Commute, carpool, and/ or walk instead of driving your own car everywhere.
  • Add a couple percentages more to the portion of your paycheck that goes into Savings, from your leisure spending portion.

You’ll see your savings start to add up over time and it can really go a long way. Having a Savings/ emergency fund is very important – especially when you have an emergency, like needing to suddenly bail your loved one out of jail! You will momentarily be sad you’ll be digging into this fund, but you’ll quickly get over it knowing that you are helping a loved one out of jail.

Los Angeles Bail Bond Store will help with the bail bond process, make it more affordable, and a smoother process overall.

Learn exactly how we can help by getting a free consultation from your agent! Reach us online or on the phone at 877-793-2245.

How Much Does Bail Cost & How Do I Post Bail?

  • What’s better; a bail agent or a bail bondsman?
    These two titles may sound different but they really mean the same thing. A bail agent is a bail bondsman and vice versa.
  • How much does a bail bond cost?
    Pricing is dependent on the amount of the bail. In California, bail bonds companies charge 10% of the bail price. If your loved one’s bail is $10,000, then it will cost $1,000 to bail him out using a bail bonds company.
  • Do you offer discounts?
    Yes. At Los Angeles Bail Bond Store we can offer a 20% discount on the price of the bail bond if a co-signer is a member of the military, AARP, is a homeowner, or if the client has a private attorney. With this discount, instead of paying $1,000 for the same bond, you only have to pay $800.
  • What is a co-signer?
    A co-signer is anyone who is willing to sign for your loved one’s release. The signer is promising that all the money will be paid and that their loved one will go to all of their court dates. A co-signer takes responsibility for their loved one.
  • How do I make payments?
    We accept a number of different payment methods at Los Angeles Bail Bond Store. We accept cash, checks and most major credit cards. We also have the ability to accept payments online, over the phone, or in person at an office.
  • How much do I have to pay?
    Again, cost depends on the price of the bail itself. Initially you need to pay 10% of the bail. Depending on your information, we may be able to offer discounts.
  • With interest, how much do I have to pay?
    At Los Angeles Bail Bond Store we do not charge interest, you only have to pay the 10%.
  • How much do I have to put up front?
    Again, pricing varies from case to case and depends vastly on the people who are co-signing the bail bond.
  • How long does it take for my loved one to be released?
    After the initial payment has been received, your loved one can be out in as little as two hours. However, the time varies from county to county. Time can vary anywhere from 2 hours to several, depending on the current workload of the jail.
  • Can you see if I have a warrant?
    Yes, we can. If you think there might be a warrant out for your arrest, just call Los Angeles Bail Bond Store and we will see if you do indeed have a warrant.
  • Who can bail out my friend?
    Anyone who cares about your friend can bail him or her out of jail. You do not have to be related to someone to bail him or her out of jail.
  • Can you bail my friend in Nevada out of jail?
    No. At Los Angeles Bail Bond Store we are only licensed to bail people out of jail in California. If you want to bail someone out of jail in a state other than California, you will need to contact a bail agent in that state.
  • Do you do immigration bonds?
    No. There are companies that specialize in those kinds of bonds.
  • What happens if I do not bail out my friend or family member?
    Your loved one stays in jail until he is either found innocent and released or found guilty and sentenced. Until then your loved one has to go to all court appearances in an orange jumpsuit which does not look good to the court.
  • If I cannot bail somebody out immediately, up to how many days do I have to be able to bail them out of jail?
    There is no time limit to bailing a friend or family member out of jail. Your loved one can be bailed out of jail until he or she has been sentenced.
  • Do I need to give collateral?
    Most bonds at Los Angeles Bail Bond Store do not need collateral. We use your signature as collateral in most cases. However, for larger bails, starting around $100,000, you may need to put down something as collateral. This varies from case to case and depends greatly on the co-signers.
  • What happens if I miss a payment?
    If you happen to miss a payment, it is not a huge deal. If you know in advance that you are going to be late on a payment, let us know. We know that life can be difficult at times and that things that were certain a few months ago, might have changed. If your budget has changed, we can work with you on payment and even readjust your payment plan to fit your budget better.
  • Can you tell me what my friend or family member was arrested for?
    Yes, we can. Just give us your friend or family member’s name, birthday, and the county where he or she was arrested. We use that information to find your loved one in the county system and to answer any of your questions.
    Do I have to wait to finish making my final payment before I can be bailed out again?
    No. We can even adjust the payments on your first bail bond to make it easier on you to pay for both of them.
  • If I get approved, how much time do I have to make the first payment?
    It depends on your individual situation. We customize our payment plans to work with your budget and situation. We can even get you a 0 down bail bonds payment plan based on your situation.
  • Will I receive a statement every month?
    Yes.
  • What is collateral?
    Collateral is something of equal value to the bail bond that the co-signer puts up to cover the bond. If the client fails to pay for the bail bond, then the company takes whatever was put up as collateral.
  • Can I use a payment plan to pay for the bail bond?
    Yes. We create payment plans for all of our clients to help make paying for the bail bond easier. We will work with you to create a customized payment plan that fits into your personal budget. The payments will break up the large cost of the bail bond into smaller, more manageable monthly payments.
