I’ve attached the wrong power to a bond and now I cannot change it.
This is likely due to the fact that the power is on a sales report. To correct the bond, click on the blue circle near the power number on the defendant full record. This will give the report name. Find that report under “edit report” in the sales report area and remove the incorrectly reported power. You will now be able to edit the power number on the defendant record.

Collections
Global Solutions Biz LLC is a specialist overdue bail bond debt collector. Captira makes it easy, but Global Solutions Biz (and not Captira) provides debt collection services.
How much does this cost?
There are no upfront costs and the collections fees are on a contingent "success" basis.
Collection fees will be ADDED to the amounts owing AND PAID BY THE DEFENDANT IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY OWE YOU if your written terms include recovery of costs.
Collection fees are 30% of amount collected, and overdues greater than 1 year old carries an additional 10% collection charge and more than 2 years old is an additional 20%. Depending on local state laws, overdues up to six years may potentially be recoverable.
For court action, filing and other fees (not collection fees) may be payable for a specific case but clients are made aware and approve these prior to lodgement.

Captira support desk does not support Collection issues. That is a direct relationship with clients and Global Solutions Biz LLC and Captira is not a party to the Collections process.
What types of bail bond debts are collected?
Global Solution Biz handles bail bond forfeitures, unpaid bail bond premiums and related costs, recovering investigative, attorney, and apprehension costs as well as current civil judgements from Defendants and co-signors.
Despite three year statute of limitations comments, many states with written contracts and promissory notes allow up to 4 and in many cases, up to 6 years, for recovery and Global Solutions Biz can determine this on a state by state basis and seek to recover the maximum permissable by law.
How does the collection process work?
To begin the collection process Global Solution Biz makes a series of attempts to make contact with the parties involved via telephone, mail and email. Key to success is the human attention and interaction. In the event that these efforts are not successful, a litigation recovery process is employed using local attorney relationships to secure the collection of the debt. This involves serving the debtors with a Complaint, obtaining a judgement, and securing collections through the courts. Bail bonds collection litigation is a specialty of Global Solution Biz.
How will I monitor progress and update my Captira records?
When you upload your overdue accounts, you have the option to auto mark all the uploaded transactions as "at collections" in Captira.
After, your Global Solutions Biz account manager will provide you with access to a Global client portal in order that you can monitor the progress and status of collections on your accounts. Captira support desk is unable to assist with Collections.
The Global client portal is not integrated back with Captira. Monies collected and remit information from the debt collector does NOT automatically update your Captira records and you need to maintain your records as with any other collection agency providing information back on a client collection or record.
How will I receive my funds?
The funds will be remitted bi-weekly via bank wire or a certified check sent via the USPS.
The Defendant has since paid me directly
You can send an update email to your Global Solution Biz representative or to info@globalsolutionbiz.com, contact or communicate this via the Global Solution client portal. Please do not contact Captira for these matters. We would love to, but are unable, to assist in Collection matters.
Change to current receivables? Future receivables?
For edits and changes to current receivables provided, please send an update email to info@globalsolutionbiz.com, contact your Global Solution Biz representative or communicate this via the Global Solution client portal. Please do not contact Captira as they are unable to assist.
