What is a bondsman in medieval times?
The "bond" in bondsman was related to the word "bind." A bondsman was a person bound in some way. In the Middle Ages, this usually meant the person was a slave. Later, it usually meant the person was an indentured servant.
Do you still owe the bail bondsman 10 percent after you have been sentenced?
No. If you employ the services of a bail bondsman, you would contact him/her just after arrest or after a bond has been set. You (usually via family members) would pay them 10% toward your bond amount, and they, in turn, secure your release. If you show up for court as required, your bond is released, the bondsman keeps his 10%, and you complete your trial. If you do not show up for court, the state comes back to the bondsman for the full amount of bond. In that case, the bondsman comes after you for it (usually via bounty hunter).
Can a bondsman revoke a bond for no reason?
A bail bondsman can ask the court to revoke a bond, but the judge alone has the final say whether a bail bond may be revoked.
Is bondsman responsible for refunding your money if person to be released is not?
Bondsmen do not return your funds. Bond, or bail, is a sum of money put up to secure a person's appearance in court. Often if a person does not have adequate funds to put up the full amount of bond, a person will hire a bondsman. The bondsman will require the person to pay a small portion of the bond (usually about 10%), and the bondsman will guarantee the appearance for the court, and will put up the full sum of the bond. When the person appears for trial, the bond is returned to the bondsman. The bondsman then retains the percentage collected as payment. If you retained the services of a bondsman instead of posting the full bond, you are not due anything returned when the defendant appears.
Can a bail bondsman re bond out the person that forfeited on them?

Can a bail bondsman revoke your bond after you have been sentenced?

What does th XC stand for on a 5500XC bond?
XC is a designation of a split bond used by the Marion County Indiana Superior Courts. The XC designation means the bond is composed of a cash bond and a surety bond. The cash bond component may be posted by anyone in the entire cash bond amount ordered by the court. The surety bond is posted by a commercial bail bondsman. The bail bondsman charges 10% of the surety bond amount set by the court. All or a portion of the cash bond deposit can be refunded by the court. By law, the amount paid to the bail bondsman may not be refunded. In this instance of a $5500 XC bond, the cash bond is $500 dollars and the surety bond is $5000. The total paid to post the bond would be $1000: $500 cash and $500 dollars to a commercial bail bondsman.
