If collateral was pledged to obtain my Amwest/Far West bail bond, how will I get it back?
The fact that the bail bond was cancelled does not necessarily mean that the collateral can be released. The best case would be for the court to react to the cancellation process by ordering the bail bond exonerated. However, we realize that not all judges will issue such an order. In all cases, the judge needs to have to have taken some action acknowledging the cancellation. Some examples of this would be, for example, if the court orders the defendant released upon his own recognizance, or orders the defendant rebailed. In these cases, we will consider the bond to have been discharged. In addition, you must have satisfied all legal or contractual obligations between yourself and your bail agent. You should contact your bail agent for further guidance and assistance.
