The bond must be posted within 24 hours of receipt of full payment or a signed contract for payment. If the bond is not posted, all moneys, premium and collateral must be refunded, and all liens released, within 48 hours of receipt. C ontact the bail bonding agent and the insurance company and request the return of your money. If you do not receive a prompt refund, contact the Division of Insurance. You will need to present your request to the court and request the court consider the refund of premium.
T here is no limit.
A bonding agent may take whatever collateral is believed necessary to cover the bond. The bonding agent may only keep the value of the collateral necessary to pay the defaulted bond, costs and bounty hunting fees. The balance of the collateral must be returned. I f you are asked to sign any receipt for money or collateral you did not receive, you should refuse to sign the document. Ethical bonding agents would never ask you to sign such a release or receipt.
