Okay.. I am SO confused.. I got arrested in 2005 and taken to jail because I was driving with a suspended license (I was caught drinking underage..).
I was bailed out through a bondsman.. and just yesterday I got a letter in the mail saying that I failed to follow through with my end of the deal and that I haven't checked in with them since 2005. Well... I thought that the only thing I had to do was show up for court.. pay all of my fines.. ect ect.. and then I was through with all of that ****.
Why would I get that letter in the mail? I checked in to them.. WENT to court.. payed all of my fines and everything. Why would they say that I didn't follow through with my end of the bargain? Are you supposed to check in even after you go to court?
The reason I am so frantic is because they are putting a warrant out for my arrest.. and I can't get ahold of them to find out what is going on.. and I just gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL baby boy 5 days ago. I don't want to go to jail.

This is a tough situation. When a bonding company bails you out you are at their disposal. There are terms to your bond that you must keep. If they tell you each day that you need to call them, you must do just that or they can do what's called revocation.
Keep in mind this could be a paperwork mess up. The correctional department might have stated that you did not appear, or demanded payment on the bond from the bonding agent.
Either way your best bet is to make the bondman you best friend. Call them ASAP and let them know what is going on. Keep them in the loop on what you did, and where you are now. If a bondsman believes you are trying to do the right thing they will look to help you. They made their fee already, they just want to ensure their money is safe as far as the bond goes.
Good Luck, and congracts on your new son!

It sounds like a mistake to me. A bail bondsman takes a fee of 10-15% of your bond to guarantee to the court that you will show up for your hearing. Once you've had the hearing and been sentenced it is no longer the bail bondsman's business. If you have been sentenced and served the sentence and paid the fine the bondsman has no right to even contact you. If you have been sentenced and and get arrested for absconding from bond you could sue the crap out of everyone involved.

Are you sure that part of your sentence was not for you to attend a class? Sometimes these charges with underage people they are also ordered to attend a sponsored one night school class the court holds. Call the Clerks office that handled your fines/case first thing in the morning and ask about your letter though.
Did you get a receipt when you paid the fines? Have you since gotten your license back? I would check on all this at the same time you talk to them tomorrow.

Did you pay back the bondsman the bail money they put up for you? (That's not part of your fine or judgement, that's seperate money you owed them because they put up the bail/bond money for you to be free until trial)
Since it seems you did not understand this, I'm sure if you go talk to the bond company and to the clerk of court they will sort it out for you. Go NOW, though, or it will look like you are showing a pattern of "not following the rules"...
Congratulations, & Good luck!

You definitely need to call your bondsman. He has all the answers to this.

did you ever get a paper that said you have complied to everything and the case was dismissed..sounds like you didn't do everything you were supposed to do.. talk to a lawyer to see what you need to do

you should call them and explain that you are confused, and politely ask what was required that was not done and what you can do to remedy it. ask them if there is anything you can do, in terms of cooperating with them, that would convince them not to enforce the warrant.
