Surety bail system
Yes. When you use the services of a bail bondsman you are, in effect, "renting" his services to pay your bond. Whether you are exonerated or not, it is a legitimate debt and you still need to pay the the bail bondsman for the use of his money.
Only if they pay the bail or sign over the bond into their name.

When a Bail Bond Company writes a bond, they are responsible for the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear. The indemnitor (person who gives collateral for the bond) is responsible to the extent that they will lose whatever they gave the bondsman for collateral if the bond is forfeited. That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
When you use a bondsman to pay, say $10,000 bail, he usually charges 10%. You pay $1,000 to him. He then pays the court $10,000 (your bail). When you return to court and get convicted/released he gets his $10,000 back. He made $1,000. If you pay the $10,000 bond, you get the $10,000 back. Thus saving you the 10% (minus any court costs/fines). So if you can afford it, pay the bond yourself, it's cheaper.

When someone gets a bail bond, they pay a non refundable fee to the bail bond agent. This is called a premium. It is similar to any other insurance product that you purchase that involves the payment of a premium to the insurance company (in this case the bail agent...who is actually an independent contractor of an insurance company). Other than this payment, the bail bond agent does not receive any additonal fees on a straight bail bond transaction. There are some very good videos explaining the process at ExpertBail's website under the Video FAQ section.
If no one is able to help with the bail bond, there are a few potential options. You could look into hiring a bail bondsman who can pay the bond for a fee. Alternatively, you could try to negotiate with the court for a lower bail amount or explore the possibility of a property bond if you have assets that can be used as collateral. Finally, you can seek legal advice from an attorney who may have other strategies or suggestions.
You lose the ENTIRE bail amount (i.e.: if the bail was $10,000 and you put up $1,000. you will lose the entire $10,000.). The money bond was an insurance policy that the person show up in court. If they left you holding the bag..... too bad. Now you know why bailbondsmen hire bounty hunters. ------------------------- It depends on the type of bail the court requires the defendant to post. In most cases, the type of bail that requires a defendant to post 10--15% of the bond is called a corporate surety bail bond. In this case, the defendant pays the bail bond company 10--15% of the bond amount and, in return, the bail bond company insures the defendant's appearance in court for all hearings and trial. The bail bond company does not actually provide the court officials the amount of the bond; it merely guarantees the defendant's appearance. If the defendant "skips out" and fails to appear, the bail bond company will have to pay the bond amount to the court. Recently, courts have allowed some defendants to pay a percentage of the bond amount directly to the court in lieu of obtaining a corporate surety bond. So, if the bond amount set by the court is, say, $10,000 and the usual percentage is 10%, the court will accept $1000 cash in lieu of a corporate surety bond. If the defendant fails to appear, he or she loses the cash they provided as bail. If the defendant makes all required appearances, the money is usually refunded one the case is adjudicated.
