Horrific experience!!!!!
I am absolutely traumatized and I fear negatively affected for life after being wrongfully arrested in July 2016- AAAA bonded me out with a co-signer and 10% of the bond.
Conditions of AAAA are that you call every Wednesday to check in -- I've called every Wednesday with the exception of 3 or 4 times when their line is busy for hours and then at some point I'm forced to get back to my life and once because I didn't have a working phone but called on Thursday.
Due to flooding, missed court but called the court and bond company to alert them-- I've not missed once in 8 months at this point and anyone who owns a radio or TV could tell it was flooding all over the city! AAAA said no problem, bring in $100 tomorrow and it's real easy to just pop over to court house and re-set!
It took me a few days to get paid and have an extra $100 called each day (Thursday and Friday) explained courts would be closed by the time I would have the $100-- no biggie, come on Monday
I did and court refused to reset it and a warrant was issued!!!!
So, even though 1 day before flooding and missed court date, I had gone to a court appointed psychiatrist and called and stayed in contact, had ample proof, 8 months of showing up, they arrested me anyway-- I spent 7 days being tortured! Got beat, strapped to a chair for 10-12 hours- naked in 40 degree weather all because AAAA would hang up on me when I could finally reach them to bind me back out!!!!!!!
Then!!!!! Get this!!!!!!! I have another court date -- a rep from AAAA goes with me to court to vouch for me and say I'm a good egg -- 3 months later, I call and do as I'm told I get arrested AGAIN!!!!
Call AAAA get screamed at by an employee who says "they will not bond me out because I know I don't do what I'm supposed to do on bond- I am already in a horrific situation AGAIN, they have been paid about $4,500 cash and have my grandma pegged for over $40k if I don't go to court, I call every week, haven't missed but the one unavoidable court date and I'm pissed and desperate. So I say, bail me out or I won't go to my next court date - he hangs up on me
THEN HE CALLS THE JAIL AND TELLS THEM I AM HARASSING AND THREATENING HIM AND I GET BEAT AND STRAPPED BACK TO A CHAIR FOR 5 HOURS -- 25 hours later I was bonded out by a new company!
The employees are inappropriate and they are evil and unprofessional!!!!!!
I hope Texas lowers bond amounts so low that they all go out of business read more
