Make a payment on your subrogation file

• Final payment: a 90-day hold applies before we clear your file; then we file your releases (and dismiss a garnishment, if you have one).
• Down payment: you get a Conditional Release for your license after 90 days — sooner if you pay in person by cash, money order, or certified funds.
• Refunds & chargebacks: if a payment is later refunded or disputed, the bank’s or processor’s fees are added back to your balance.
• Posting: payments are posted to your account within 2 business days.

DETAILS:

If you are making a final payment, please note there is a 90-day hold before we clear your file. After the hold, we issue a Satisfaction of Judgment to let the court know that the judgment has been paid; a General Release for the Department of Driver's Services (if your license was ever suspended); and a cancellation of the FIFA - the lien on any real property that you own. If you are paying through a Garnishment, we will file a Dismissal of the Garnishment with the Court as well.

If you are making a down payment, we wait 90 days before issuing a Conditional Release for your driver's license (a temporary release granted while you keep up with your payments). If you need that release sooner than 90 days, consider making an appointment to pay in person by cash, money order, or certified funds.

If your payment is later refunded or disputed, any fees charged to Boutwell & Associates by the bank or payment processor will be added to your account. This includes fees from the institution that issued the payment, the institution processing it, or any institution associated with our firm. If we don't add these fees right away, we still have the right to add them later.

For posting, once a payment is processed we post the file number and amount to your account within 2 business days. If you don't see it reflected after that, call our office and we'll confirm receipt.
