What can happenifa bond company revokes a bondbecause of an alleged non-payment?
The bond company we used to bond my boyfriend out is threatening to revoke bond because they say we haven’t paid the bond off. However I have the receipts showing it has been in full. Can they legally do this?

Possibly because they agreement to pay is a contract and if you read the agreement does it actually state that they can revoke the bond for non payment? You agreed to the terms. Now, you of course have a right to fight this and great grounds for doing so: payment in full. It is possible that they just made a mistake but I agree that threatening you is no way to deal with the matter. Bail bondmen do not have the best reputations for handling things. Have you ever seen them portrayed in movies or reality shows? It is not to say that they need to live up to their reputations. But you need to handle yourself with the greatest of composure and explain that you have a receipt for payment in full and would they like you to fax it to them? Then I am sure that it will all be cleared up. Good luck.
