Remedy Bail Bonds is proud to serve the citizens of Orange County and to help those who have been arrested get out of jail and back home with their families as they await trial. In our mission to provide Orange County affordable bail bonds, we pay most of the bail amount that judges stipulate; as with any bail bond service, though, we do require our clients to pay a small part of their bail amount.
For some clients, this is no big deal, but for those whose resources are limited—or whose bail amounts are set astronomically high—there is sometimes a question of whether or not they can pay the bond amount. The question is, what can you do in the event that you can’t afford a bail bond?
One option is to get a co-signer—a family member or friend who will agree to help you cover your bail bond expense. This can be a smart arrangement, but again, it’s not always possible for every individual. If you do not have a willing co-signer, the next step is to put up some collateral, which the bail bondsman will use to secure your arrangement.
Collateral for Your Orange County Bail Bonds
Most any valuable item can be used as collateral. Here are just a few of the most commonly used collateral items.
Vehicles
Any kind of valuable vehicle can be used as collateral—not just cars, trucks, and SUVs, but also motorcycles, boats, RVs, and ATVs. Just be aware that, as with any other form of collateral, you’ll be forfeiting it if you fail to show up for your scheduled court appearance.
Real Estate
If you own a house or a piece of land, you can use it as your collateral. You can also use a piece of land you don’t own outright, but in which you have significant equity.
Precious Metals
Not everyone has a personal supply of silver or gold, but if you do, that can be used as collateral. Jewelry is another thing you can offer as you seek to get fast bail bonds.
Investments and Savings
Maybe you don’t have liquid cash, but you do have stocks, bonds, CDs, or other forms of savings or investment. Any of these can make for an acceptable form of collateral.
Find OC Bail, Get Out of Jail
The bottom line is that a bail bondsman will work with you to make sure you can pay your bail bond, somehow or another—and so long as you make it to your scheduled court appearance, you won’t have to forfeit those collateral items.
