The magistrate was so nice, only gave me a 6months bond?
916096
ok this is a bit to take on.  first a bond is an agreement that you made with the court to be of good behaviour.  meaning you cannot do anything that is punishable by law within your six month stint.  as for community corrections you may need to see them every week or so. this should all be written out in your bond. Did you sign your bond? you should have.  \n\nIf you are legally aidded you wil not have to pay anything unless it is so stated in your legal aid application letter.  legal aid may say you need to pay half of your fees off in installments for a certain amount of time.   if you had a duty solicitor you usually dont pay  they just bill legal aid directly.

I did and won.  The guy prosecuting made the whole thing up about cationing me and it was all lies - my age, phone number, tv details the whole lot.  I pleaded not guilty and got a new court date and TV licensing dropped the case 1 day before due in court.  You can go not guilty if you dont have a tv or if they've lied like above. Good luck - try it what have you got to lose ????

No. The only reason a bailiff will pay you a visit is if you didn't pay off your debt for the product(s)-such as a rented TV. Since you didn't pay it off, it dosen't belong to you outright- so you can't sign it over to a good friend. The last few words in your questin "does not belong to me" is correct. Its all contract law and you may be charged civily and/or criminaly.

If he paid a bail bondsman, no that money is never returned.  The bondsman charges about 10 percent of the bond as his fee.  if the bond is 100,000, you will have to pay him 10,000 dollars and he keeps that money as his fee.\n\nIf you paid the court directly the 100,000 or put up your house, then you get it back from them.

yes because you signed a contract to pay. if you dont you go off bond and go back to jail. and you will have to bond out all over again

If the bailiffis has a coyrt order warrant to enter your property then yes. They should have allowed you to view and read the warrant, but they do have legal rights of access providing the council has applied for  a court order. \n\nYou need to address the issues that led to this. I presume you owe the council money for rent arrears, these may be easily addressed, especially if you are on Income Support, go to your local money advice centre or Citzens advice ffice who can assist you in challenging the council or arranging a manageable payback scheme

You have to post bail, if it applies to him...\nYou have to find out what are the charges first, and work from there... hope you can resolve it soon

In some jurisdictions - Nevada in my case, the Will said the executor could serve without bond.  Have you examined the Will's provisions?  If you are not intending to speak to an attorney check the Internet to see if your state statutes are posted and read what is required.\n\nIf all else fails call a bonding agency and ask, I'm sure they still give quotes without charge.

I was in the exact same situation when I was 19.  I had a totally clean record and had taken about $27 worth of stuff from a grocery store.  I did not have a job and I didn't want my mom to find out.\n\nI went to court on the date I was supposed to appear and I used the public defender that they had.  I was fined $500 plus another $100 (?) in court fees and given one year to do 40 hours of community service.  I think I was placed on probation for a year.   \n\nThe weird part was that they had told me something about how if I completed the 40 hours of community service it would be wiped off my record (?) because it was my first offense (something like that).  They kept saying the words 'misdemeanor' and 'felony'.  I could have sworn that they told me that if I didn't do my community service that it would be bumped up to a felony.  I don't see how that could have been true.  The whole thing was such a blur because I was so scared.  I was sure they were going to send me to jail.  \n\nI had to borrow the money from my boyfriend and I paid the fine.  My mom never found out.  A year went by and I never did the community service (long story).  When I returned to court when the year was up, I told the judge that I didn't do the community service and he said 'OK' and that was it.  I left.  I have no clue what I ended up actually being charged with and I've never seen my record.

The problem is that in our country, we give a judge a lot of discretion and power to uphold the implementation and determination of the law.  So, in your case, the magistrate judge does have the power to hold anyone in contempt, for a legal reason, and can impose a consequence.  The alternative is to be completely honest and forthright and explain the reason for the non-payment within a timely fashion.  Maybe demonstrate then that you will make the payment to show that you are not in defiance of the court.\n\nYou have a legal right to ask for a different judge to hear your cause for cause.

laws in states vary.  Sounds like you and he are currently in different states.  It also sounds like you opened the credit card accounts and added his name, which you have since removed.  There is an adage that I'm reminded of here, that it is impossible to get blood from a stone.  If your ex-friend hasn't a job and has not money, it seems foolish to tie up a lot of time and emotions on that venue.  Considering that you had three credit cards and only 10,000 charged to them, you might even consider yourself fortunate-they could have been maxed out.  Might be better off trying to consolidate the loans(if you can) and then try to work out payments with the creditors; payments that you can live with.  Next time when you feel your eyesight affected by love.  Remember that while love may indeed blind, it isn't cheap.\n\nbest of luck,

Show up at his office, and let the receptionist know you'd be happy to wait in his office a few minutes while he finishes up his meeting/phonecall.  :-)\n\nI don't think 2 months is reasonable.  You could at that point send a polite but firm letter to him.  Let him know you need an answer on X.  You have called 12 times over the past 60 days, and if he isn't interested in representing you, you need to be notified immediately. Give him a fixed amount of time:  "Please contact me within 10 days of this letter to answer these questions about my case or to inform me that you'll be unable to take this case."\n\nMy guess is that he doesn't want your business.  Maybe he sees no merit in the case and hasn't been clear enough to you the case is unwinnable.  Maybe he notices you don't have much money, and he realises he won't get rich from you as a client.  Maybe the questions aren't in his field of expertise and it would take days of research to find out what you're asking.   Who knows?\n\nIf he has a retainer (your money given in advance in preparation for him doing work for you), I WOULD insist he do something.  In the letter state you would like the full retainer returned if he's not taking the case.  If you stil get no answer and no money back, contact the State Bar Assoc.   He can't keep your money but do zero work for you for months.

I am impresssed with your vigilence.  Be patient.  It may get worse before it gets better.  \n\nThe following article is about credit repair and most of it will not apply to you but there is still some good information in it.  There is also a link at the very bottom of it that will take you to a law firm that specializes in the matter.\n\nhttp://www.fastlender.com/article/credit-repair.aspx\n\nGood luck - I hope you get to see the scum thrown in jail.
