Warrants And I was charged for 2 warrants. asked him if I can make payments on the rest and he said we could work something out but instantly he took out over 5000 for both warrants that his computer showed 2. I called police station, sheriff department courts. Wrote to courts, Noone could find ANY warrants! I have paperwork and everything, how can I dispute, sue? And am I in statue of limitation to do anything about this. Happened 122021. Thanks
A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you may have been overcharged by the bail bondsman for your son's release.
Firstly, if you have the paperwork that shows there was only one warrant and you were charged for two, that could be helpful in disputing the charges with the bail bondsman. You can try to contact them and explain the situation and provide the documentation that you have. You can also request an itemized receipt from the bail bondsman that shows how the charges were calculated.
If the bail bondsman is not willing to work with you, you may want to consider filing a complaint with the California Department of Insurance, which regulates bail bond agents. You can also consult with a lawyer who specializes in bail bond disputes or consumer law to explore your legal options.
In terms of the statute of limitations, it would depend on the specific laws in California and the type of claim or cause of action you are pursuing. It's best to consult with a lawyer to determine whether you are within the time limit to pursue legal action.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck in resolving this issue.
