Can a bail bonds revoke a bond if they want? 43 Answers as of January 23, 2012

Yes, they can do it if they think you are too risky of a bail.

A bondsman can ask the court to be released from the bond, if the defendant has done something to show he may be a flight risk. He can't do it just because a second bondsman was used.

The bonds company needs to request the courts permission surrender and get off a bond. The judge has to sign it, but they have to be able to explain to judge why they should be let off.

Nebraska does not do "bail bonds". Bond are posted by the person or family members. If a person gets rearrested while out on bond the person who posted the bond can request that the bond be released so they can get back part of the funds they have posted. Normally there is a 10% fee.

A bail bondsman can petition the court to allow the company to withdraw its bail bond. If the "indictment out of another county" is in effect a violation of the original bail conditions, the court may allow the withdrawal. If it is not a violation, the court is unlikely to allow the bondsman's petition.

The terms of the bail bond would be as set forth in the contract between the company and the defendant. There are probably provisions for the revocation of the bond but you would have to review the contract.

I'm pretty sure that is not what happened. In the first case the judge violated the bond because of the arrest in the second case. The bail amount (amount the bondsman must post to get you released) on the first case was either raised or the judge set "no bail" as the amount. Committing another offense while out of custody on a pending case is one of the quickest ways to get thrown in jail, bondsman or no.

Bail bonds are revoked by the court. I doubt that a court would consider this a valid reason.

Bond may only be revoked for a violation of a condition of bond. I doubt that a condition of bond is that you use a particular bond company. If the new indictment was alleging a crime occurred while you where on bond, then that is a violation of bond an the bond may be revoked.

A bond is a contract. You would need to review the language of the contract to determine whether the bond can be can be validly can be cancelled. I hope that this as helpful.

The bail bonding company has no obligation to the court to maintain a bondthe answer to your question depends on the contract with the bonding company.

If a person is on bond fora case, and picks up a second case, on which bail is set, the Court in the first case can definitely revoke the bond in that case, as one of the conditions of bail is that the arrestee refrain from picking up another criminal case.

Bond can be revoked at anytime if the court finds that a condition of the bail has been violated, such as new crime committed.

Once a bond is posted, only the case's conclusion will exonerate the bond.

Bail bondsmen are illegal in Illinois. Bond is set by the court and an individual posts with the court, usually at 10% the total value.

A person who posts a bond can revoke the bond at any time for any or no reason.

You have a contract with your bondsman. You should examine the contract and see if that situation is covered.

Yes. Getting a new charge can cause the bondsmen to revoke.

Generally a Bond is at will, meaning the Bonds Men has a right to revoke the bond. What a defendant can do is 1st ask for some type of notice, and then argue for a hearing. At the Hearing the Defendant can argue that the bondsman revoking the bond has caused an undue hardship and the judge should schedule the next bond accordingly. In the end you will probably have the bond revoked but you still have a chance at a lower bond.

Illinois does not have bail bondsmen. Bond is set by the judge and posted with the clerk in the county of the charges.

Most likely the answer is yes. You would need to refer to the contract you have with the bail bond agency.

Yes. The bail bond company can revoke the bong if they believe the person who is out on bond is a risk. I suggest reading the contract you have with the bond company.

In Massachusetts a defendant's bail can be revoked and the defendant sent to jail for up to 60 days if he or she is rearrested, provided the court informed the defendant at arraignment of the bail revocation statute. If that warning was not given the defendant would not likely have the bail revoked. The defendant could post another bail on the new case. In any event do not go to court without an attorney.

You need to start by looking at the agreement that was signed with the bail bondsman. Also if there was a subsequent incident that occurred after the initial bond was written, that could be a violation resulting in revocation. If the bail bond company is fearful that the person will not show for court, for whatever reason, that could also be an issue. I don't have enough facts. You need to consult with a local attorney.

Yes, the bondsman can revoke the bond if they choose. Then the person would have to re-post it with someone else. Check the contract that was signed when the bond was posted for specifics.

A bail bondsman can revoke the bond any time they want.

It all depends. The facts could enable bond to be revoked if risk of flight or other good cause. The Court would still need to approve the revocation.

Yes. bail bond agencies and clients are engaged in a contractual relationship. Before a bail bond agency puts up substantial funds to bail a person out, the client (or his/her representatives) must agree to numerous conditions. These conditions usually include the proviso that the bailed out person not get arrested again on a new charge. If the person does get arrested, the bail bond agency can simply go back to court and ask the court to exonerate the bail bond. Essentially, the bail bond agency is not in the business of risking its funds for a person who persists in criminal activity. A person facing numerous charges may decide to flee the jurisdiction, causing the bail bond agency to lose money, and bail bond agencies are not in the business of losing money.

Bonds are covered by contract law and the terms of the bond will spell out what conditions will allow the bond to be pulled. The bond paperwork is generally written so loosely and favorable to the bondsman that they can pretty much do what they want.

Only the court via a judge can revoke bond. Bondsmen cannot revoke bonds as they are issued by the court.

I don't know why he would, as long as the person was still making their payments to him. That kind of thing happens all the time. The 2 arrests are 2 different incidents, each with its own bond. If the bondsman was to come off of the first bond, the person would be picked up by law enforcement in the first jurisdiction and held in that jail, because he would no longer be out on bond.

A bond company doesn't have the authority to revoke a bond, only the court can revoke a bond.

Yes, a bail bond can revoke a bond if they would like. It is their money that they are risking. If they do not want to take the risk, they take their money back.
