Court Fines Amnesty This Week


From the News-Gazette last week:
Amnesty week offers way to skip late fees on past-due court fines
Residents who have run afoul of the law in Champaign County and owe the government money because of it should take note of the chance to pay fines without fees and interest.

Circuit Clerk Katie Blakeman is offering an amnesty week from Sept. 10 through 14.

Residents who have unpaid traffic tickets or past due fines and fees in criminal cases can avoid paying the collection fees and interest for those five days only if they pay the total amount originally ordered in their cases...

Blakeman reminds that all cases must be paid in full. No partial payments or personal checks will be accepted.

Acceptable forms of payment in person include cash, cashier's check, money order or credit card with valid identification.

If paying by mail, acceptable payments are money order or cashier's check or money order.
Full details, including additional hours and benefits, at the full article here.
