Payment Options

Payment in Full

Our staff is always willing to accept payment of the full amount due. This is the best way to avoid any additional consequences that may result from continuing collection efforts. We accept the following forms of payment:

• Cash
• Check
• Money order
• MasterCard and Visa credit, debit
• EFT [Electronic Funds Transfer]

Partial Payment

Although a partial payment will not stop our collection efforts, it will demonstrate your commitment to clear your unpaid debt. In addition, by reducing your outstanding obligation you may avoid collection actions reserved for larger unpaid amounts. Partial payments can not be made online.

Payment Plans

In some cases, we may agree to formal payment plans. When requesting a payment plan, our staff may require that you submit an application for payment arrangements. It is important that this application be filled out as accurately and as completely as possible. If the information you provide is determined to be false or inaccurate, your application for payments may be denied for that reason alone.

• Aplicación para Arreglo de Pagos (PDF: 49K)

Once received, your application will be reviewed and a determination made as to your eligibility for the payment terms requested. In making this determination, staff will take into consideration the following:

• Ability to pay
• Ability to borrow from others
• Monthly income and expenses
• Employment status
• Additional cost to enforce full payment

If approved, you will be notified and may be required to sign a promissory note reflecting the terms of your approved payment plan. Most collection actions will be suspended on your account as long as you comply with the terms of the plan and make your payments on time. However, the following actions can and may still occur:

• Credit Reporting
• Franchise Tax Board Offset Requests
• Vehicle Impound (delinquent parking citations only)

Postdated Check Plans

For short term payment terms, staff may ask that you send postdated checks representing your payments. Once received, the checks will be held until the date indicated on each check. This allows us to stop any additional action from occurring on your account. However, it is important that the amount of each check be available in your checking account on the date the checks will be cashed. If it will not, please contact us prior to that date so that you avoid having your check returned unpaid.
