Aaron Bail Bonds

I went to their North Brunswick location but I’m writing here because all of their offices operate in the same manner.
You may get a call from Aaron bail bonds asking you to bail someone you know out. They will continue to call you until you pick up and once you pick up they will continue to call you until you agree to bail that person out of jail. I’ve experienced this over the phone and when I walked into their office, they pretty much operate as a call center.
They will tell you they can bail that person out the same day for a very low price which they claim to be 1%. DO NOT, I I REPEAT DO NOT FALL FOR THIS .
1. WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE 1% IS NOT 1%. For a 5k bail, they were asking 150. You do the math. That should have been the first red flag. Even as I told the clerk this, she told me «I know youre smart enough to prove this is wrong, but that’s the amount you have to pay to get your friend bailed out»
2. Even after you pay the amount toward the bail, you will still be expected to pay more. For me it was 10% of the 5k bail with the option of paying 100 dollars a week until the amount is paid off. They don’t tell you this over the phone, but they know it and they definitely don’t care to tell you about additional costs even when you ask. They do all this to get you invested in the process while your at their location.
3. after paying what they consider to be 1%, you expect that they will post bail for the defendant right away. This is not the case. They run it by another department to get it approved which could take more than 1 day. The department will not approve the bail until you pay more money up front. They will not allow you to pay that amount over the phone requiring you to go into the office. This is Even after you’ve signed paper work agreeing to pay the remainder weekly. To add insult to injury, after paying more money upfront, they still won’t post bail. The case will have to be reviewed again by the same department that requested more money.
Do you get the pattern yet? They’ll continue to do this to get as close to the 10% that you’ve already agreed to pay weekly. If that’s the case you can get a 10% at any bail bonds dealer without the hassle of dealing with different departments and approval processes.
In my case, it took 4 days of being strung around by Aaron bail bonds offices and call centers before I got fed up and realized that this company is deceptive and sheisty. I met my friend rock it it in County and he eventually got it for 0 dollars.
Do yourself a favor and go with another bail bonds company. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. if you happen to not believe me, go step by step through their process and compare it to what I’ve included here.
In sure this company is breaking laws by using bait and switch tactics and flat out lying to people. Buyer beware. Look at the amount of no cash refund signs and that should be a good enough indicator that alot of people aren’t getting what they pay for.
Don’t do business with this company.

Don’t do business with them. First they hound you by phone to post someone’s bail, they promise you’ll only have to come up with 1% then they rope you in for more money… poor inmate is sitting there waiting while you go back and forth with these losers.
