In fact, most bail bond agencies get calls like this on a weekly basis!  So why do people believe there are discounts available for bail bond services? Who says there\u2019s such a thing as discount bail bonds? The answer is too difficult to come by; however, exposing the truth about discount bail bonds is simple. <\/p>\n<p>It is important to trust your bail bondsman, and ensure you are getting professional service and honest information. Reputation, experience, and credentials are all clues that can better reveal the trustworthiness of a bail bond company. Continue reading to learn what you need to know, once and for all, about discounted bail bonds and bail bond services.<\/p>\n<h1>What are Discount Bail Bonds?<\/h1>\n<p>Discount bail bonds are a myth! Even though it\u2019s no secret that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsbailbonds.com\/\" title=\"Bail Bonds Indianapolis Indiana\" target=\"_blank\">bail bonds<\/a> are a price-regulated industry, there are still several people that believe they can purchase bail bonds at a discounted rate. This is because people grasp onto the idea that, even though all bail bond agencies are mandated to charge the same rates, they can eventually find a company that will \u201cmake them a deal\u201d or cut them a break in price. Sorry folks, but this is simply not true. Discounting bail bonds and related services is illegal; end of story. No bail bondsman is going to put their livelihood on the line for a stranger that insists on a price-reduction for their services. Believing that discount bail bonds exist is like believing the same about unicorns and fairies! <\/p>\n<h1>Deceptive Bail Bonds<\/h1>\n<p>If you ever see a bail bond company advertising rates lower than ten percent, they are being deceptive. In the state of Indiana, bail bond companies are permitted to charge anywhere from 10-15% of a person\u2019s total bond amount. For example, if a defendant\u2019s total bond amount is $5,000, a bail bondsman can charge them anywhere between $500 and $750 (non-refundable) for a bail bond. The bail bondsman covers the rest of the bail amount, and receives this money back when the defendant appears for their scheduled court hearing. If the defendant fails to appear, an arrest warrant is issued, and the bail bond company investigates their whereabouts so they do not forfeit the money put up for that person\u2019s bail.  Sound familiar? <\/p>\n<p>If you ever come across bail bond advertisements that claim having cheaper bail bond rates and discounted prices, they are not giving you all the information. What they are selling, instead, is a discounted rate for putting money down on a payment plan. No matter what, a person will always pay the full ten to fifteen percent of the total bail amount. Depending on the risk, a bail bond company will charge either closer to ten, or closer to fifteen percent. Keep in mind that any bail bond company attempting to sell, or even advertise, cheaper rates for bail bonds, they are breaking the law and should not be trusted. They can face massive fines, apprehensions, and prosecution for numerous civil and criminal penalties.  <\/p>\n<h2>Woods Bail Bonds<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Call Woods Bail Bonds at 317-876-9600<\/strong> for more information about <strong>bail bonds in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/strong> and its surrounding counties. <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/116941307648256602004\/about?partnerid=gplp0\" title=\"James Woods Bail Bonds\" target=\"_blank\">James Woods<\/a>, owner and operator, has more than 30 years of experience and provides <strong>licensed bail bond services<\/strong> in several Indiana cities and counties.
