1% Bail Bonds

When arrested in the State of California, most defendants are eligible for bail. However, the judge will often set this to a five or six-figure amount. When you can’t afford to pay this, 1% bail bonds could be the best way to secure a quick release from custody.

San Diego Bail Bonds is a licensed bail bonds agent that can offer one percent bail bonds along with a range of related services. When you need to get yourself or a loved one out of jail fast.

An Introduction to 1% Bail Bonds

The term one % bail is one that can be quite confusing, especially for defendants who are completing the bail process for the first (and hopefully last) time. Once you understand it, though, you will see why it is one of the most popular solutions.

When a defendant pays the bail fee themselves, they will eventually see the money returned to them as long as they satisfy their terms of bail. However, the court sets the bail amount to a figure you can’t afford, professional bail bonds allow you to pass on the financial liability to the bondsman for a fee that is equivalent to 10% of the bail amount. So, a $100,000 commitment suddenly becomes a $10,000 one.

Still, finding $10,000 instantly can be very difficult, especially when you're in custody. However, flexible bail bond payments enable you to overcome this hurdle. One percent bail bonds are a fantastic option. With 1% bail bonds, you only have to pay 1% of the bail figure (10% of the bondsman’s fee) amount today before subsequently paying off the rest of the fee over the coming weeks or months. So for a $100,000 bail amount, the process will be;

Call San Diego Bail Bonds to confirm eligibility for 1% bail bonds.
Make a down payment of $1,000 today.
Get released from custody within hours.
Pay the remaining $9,000 as per the agreed schedule.

It should also be noted that there is no interest fee or hidden costs when using one percent bail bonds. So, it is essentially no different from paying the full 10% today, except for the fact it gives you added flexibility.

When Can 1% Bail Bonds Be Used?

The concept of using 1% bail bonds will appeal to many defendants or families who have a loved one in custody. They are available to defendants at any of San Diego’s detention centers as well as those held in the other 57 counties of California. This type of bail bond may be used in relation to both felony and misdemeanor charges.

While all cases are reviewed on an individual basis, the most common case types are;

Child Abuse
Domestic Violence
DUI’s
DUI with Accidents
Violating Court Orders

However, there are several situations in which one percent bail bonds are not available. This includes cases where bail is set to $10,000 or less, as well as FIA warrants and out-of-county or out-of-state warrants. Drug charges, prostitution, and fraud charges will also lead to exemption.

Eligibility for 1% Bail Bonds

One percent bail bonds are a great option for eligible candidates, and SD Bail Bond has a solid reputation for supporting defendants and their families during difficult times. We are committed to making this solution available to as many people as possible. However, to be eligible for one % bail, you will need to meet several criteria. Defendants must;

Be a legal resident of California.
Have two co-signers who have proof of employment, residency, and California IDs.
Be a first-time offender who hasn’t had their arraignment.
Have an annual income (including indemnitors) that exceeds the full cash bail amount.
Have been arrested on suspicion of a misdemeanor or felony included in our list.

It should be noted that candidates who use SSI, welfare, Cal-works, or disability insurance are not able to apply. Self-employed people and gig economy workers are also exempt. Furthermore, real estate collateral may be required if the total bail amount is more than $100,000.

One % Bail Repayment Plans

The basic procedure of using 1% bail bonds in San Diego has already been discussed above. However, it’s important to understand the repayment plan. After paying the 1% down payment today, our bail bondsmen can get to work on informing the courts of our intention to pay your full bail amount, which begins the procedure of securing your (or your loved one’s) release.

While we are happy to discuss flexible payments with defendants and/or indemnitors, the general repayment plan when using one percent bail bonds is as follows;

A 1% down payment is made today.
A further payment equivalent to 2% of the total fee is due within 10 days.
The final 7% (70% of the premium) is paid off via monthly payments over 12 months.

Posting bail (either yourself or courtesy of a bail bond) will not influence the outcome in court. Similarly, the repayment plans remain the same regardless of the verdict. Still, the fact that you will avoid interest charges and admin fees makes 1% bail bonds a convenient solution.
