36th District Court announces exclusive seasonal layaway plan and waiver of fees
The 36th District Court announced this week an exclusive holiday promotion being offered for the entire month of December. Individuals who have outstanding debt owed to the court will have the opportunity to “lay it away” and enter into a payment plan with only 10 percent down of their balance due. All adjudicated cases in which fines and costs were assessed are eligible. As an added bonus, upon making the final payment, all late fees and penalties will be waived.
Chief Judge Nancy Blount stated, “We are excited to offer this chance for individuals to get back on track and eventually restore their driving privileges, whether they have defaulted on a previous payment plan or want to start a new plan. Plus, the waiver of all penalties and late fees upon final payment should be a big incentive to comply with their new or reinstated agreement.”
Court Administrator, Kelli Moore Owen added, “We wanted to do something unique this holiday season and this is a way for people to start fresh with payments that fit their budget before additional collection enforcement actions, slated for January 2017, are initiated.”
Current payment plan customers are excluded and ineligible to participate. Clearance fees cannot be waived.
