Q: In CA can bondsmen revoke bail later if they all of a sudden want another cosighner?
I cosighned for a bail paid 2000 down signed a contract and its been a week and a half since person was released. I received a call from bondsmen demanding another co-sighner. I have thoroughly read my contract and nothing in it says I need or agreed to an additional co-sighner. I even put down extra money then originally requested. To avoid that. This bondsmen had me even help him to locate another customer who had skipped court. I almost did but the bondsmen wanted me to push meeting him harder and he stopped communication with me. He even sent a man who claimed to work for law enforcement but was actually a bail enforcement officer to my house and threaten me saying I wasn't getting this guy fast enough I proceeded with the proof I had and he took my phone took photos and left all on camera because my property is equipped with. This was supposedly for a address verification but this couldn't be true because he never asked to see the person under bond. Now he want another cosighner.
A: You, or an attorney, would have to read the bonding agreement. It may allow for revocation of the bond in certain circumstances.
