DEBT COLLECTION EFFORT IS PAYING OFF
by Dennis Sullivan
WILL COUNTY, IL—A collections agency has retrieved more than $1.25 million in unpaid
fines and fees for the county government and Will County municipalities since the pro-
gram’s start in May, Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire said.
The county received the largest single portion, more than $557,000, while the rest was
spread to municipalities across Will, Bolingbrook, Joliet, Plainfield and Romeoville together
got $225,000.
Administered by Harris & Harris, Ltd. and the law offices of Arnold Scott Harris, the pro-
gram requires scofflaws to also pay all costs associated with the collection process. The
county incurs no costs for operating the program. Previously, the county had no mecha-
nism to collect the debts.
The county incurs no costs for operating the program. McGuire characterized the fledgling
program as a “get-tough” solution.
“There are millions of dollars in past-due court debts dating back several decades,” she
said. “ In 2005 alone, convicted defendants attempted to ignore nearly $1.7 million in fees
and fines.”

Excerpted from the Joliet Herald News March 24, 2007 CIRCUIT COURT DEBTS TO INCREASE BY 30 PERCENT By ANDREA HEIN STAFF WRITER Anyone with an outstanding bill for Will County Circuit Court costs and fines has one week
to pay up before the amount they owe jumps by 30 percent and their credit rating takes a
hit.
Starting in April, unpaid court debts will be referred to Harris & Harris Ltd., a Chicago-
based collection agency, Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire said. The collection agency will tack
30 percent on top of the initial court fee or fine.
Will County officials, including McGuire and Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow,
decided last year to hire a collection agency because the county currently is out millions
of dollars in outstanding fees and fines, according to information from McGuire's office.
"We're tightening up on it a lot," McGuire said.
The county redistributes the money to different places including the arresting agency, the
county's general fund or the state based on the offense generating the fine or court cost,
McGuire said.
A collection agency normally can take its fee out of the original debt owed by a person;
however, state law prohibits the agency from taking the money out of court costs,
McGuire said. Therefore, the fee is added to the debt.
Officials will send the oldest outstanding balances, some of which are delinquent by sev-
eral years, to the collection agency first and then regularly will refer balances at least 90
days old.
“Anyone with an outstanding
bill...has one week to pay before
the amount ...jumps by 30%

Excerpted from the Argus Press Spectator June 2006 COUNTY FINALLY CATCHING UP ON LEGAL FINE DODGERS Last week DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett announced a major
crackdown on individuals fined in the county’s circuit court system. Birkett and the county circuit
court clerk’s office revealed a joint game plan June 14 for more aggressively pursuing the collec-
tion of unpaid court-ordered fines and fees in criminal cases. The expanded efforts for the compli-
ance program include retaining the services of collection firms Harris & Harris of Chicago and the
national Alliance One, which will target an estimated $20 million backlog of outstanding debt that
has accumulated over two decades.
What’s shocking is not that the county is owed $20 million by those fined by the court, it’s that the
backlog of unpaid fines goes back 20 years. How does that happen? Letting some fines slip by for
a few years at a time is inevitable in a county the size of DuPage. But $20 million over 20 years is
as nearly as unacceptable as the debtors not paying the fines in the first place.
DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk Chris Kachiroubas said residents have been picking up the
slack by way of property taxes, which is an injustice because the county is entitled to fee payment.
Kachiroubas couldn’t be more right; it’s just a shame it’s taken so long for the county to come to
this realization. Until recently, legal fee and fine collections have been handled in-house using
attorneys to go after debtors, sidetracking them from other responsibilities. Now that the county
has turned this operation over to the private sector, be sure a great number of these debts will be
paid within the first year.
…So while we applaud the county for finally taking the necessary step of going after those who
have avoided the penalties they earned for so long, we would also like to offer an admonishment
for sticking everyday, law-abiding taxpayers with taxes that could have been diverted by the timely
collection of these fees.
It’s just a shame it’s taken so long for the county to come to this realization.
“...A great number of these
debts will be paid within the first
year”.

Excerpted from the Daily Pantagraph, October 22, 2006 COUNTY HANDS FINES OVER TO COLLECTION AGENCY BLOOMINGTON—People who skipped paying court fines years ago may start receiving letters and
calls. and they’ll find out they owe 30 percent more than they once did.
…Last May, McLean County began referring its oldest outstanding debts to a collection agency.
And, because of a recent change in state law, McLean County now can pass the collection agen-
cy’s fee to the people who owe money.
Before the contract with Chicago-based Harris & Harris Ltd., State’s Attorney Bill Yoder said peo-
ple appeared countless times before a judge and said they couldn’t pay their fines and costs.
People arrested on new charges often had no problem finding $300 to be released from jail, he
said, it’s “like pulling teeth” to collect restitution from the same people.
Referring the cases to a collection agency also frees up prosecutors to work on current court
cases, instead of chasing down previously ordered fines, Yoder said.
Any felony, misdemeanor or traffic case with unpaid debts from before January 2003 was re-
ferred to the collection agency, Parker said. Cases from January 2003 to November 2005 were
referred to the state’s attorney’s office to determine whether to send them out for collections,
she said. “The beauty of this program is that it doesn’t cost the taxpayers anything to adminis-
ter,” Parker said, because the collection agency’s fee is tacked onto the amount paid by the
scofflaw.
James Gilbert, director of government affairs for Harris & Harris, said …“Often times, the county
lacks the resources to pursue some of the smaller dollar amounts and offenders because there’s
just more serious matters going on, violent crime, domestic crime and that sort of thing,” Gilbert
said.
Gilbert said some debts were aging without repayment, and people had moved to other jurisdic-
tions. “We have the resources to locate those people very quickly,” Gilbert said, adding his com-
pany can find current addresses, phone numbers and employers of the people that owe money.
“Referring the cases to a
collection agency also frees up
prosecutors to work on current court
cases”.

Client Press Release August 18, 2008
COUNTY HIRES COLLECTION AGENCY
By Circuit Court Clerk Joseph Carey
I am proud to announce that, in conjunction with LaSalle County State’s Attorney Brian
Towne, we have approved a contract with a top collection agency that will be assigned to
collect past-due court fines and fees. We have entered into a contract with Harris & Harris
Ltd. and the Law Offices of Arnold Scott Harris to collect past-due court debts.
This contract will enable Harris & Harris to begin collecting debts owed by thousands of peo-
ple who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to pay their court-ordered fines or fees. I am
constantly looking for sources of revenue to lessen the burden on the taxpayers of LaSalle
County and I feel this initiative will result in considerable amounts of money for the County
of LaSalle, local municipalities and the State of Illinois.
It is estimated that defendants in the last few decades have ignored over $5 million in fines
and fees. Collecting even a small portion of these past due debts will assist the county and
other municipalities as they grapple with tight budgets. A number of potential collection op-
tions and companies have been researched in the last twelve months. Harris & Harris, Ltd.
was chosen for numerous reasons: The company currently provides this service for circuit
clerks around the State of Illinois (e.g., Will, McLean, DuPage & Cook) and comes highly
recommended by officials from both counties.
The collections business is affiliated with a respected Chicago legal firm, thereby ensuring a
legal and ethical approach to retrieving past-due debts. The contract allows for the monitor-
ing of collections activities over the Internet in real time, allowing LaSalle County officials to
make certain the county is being professionally represented and that those who are contact-
ed about past-due debts are treated respectfully. There is no cost to the county or the tax-
payer for the collection agencies’ efforts. However, Illinois Public Act 93-0693 allows the
agencies to impose a collection fee up to 30 percent. For example, a fine of $100 that has
gone unpaid could turn into $130.00.
“There is no cost to the county
or the taxpayer for the collection
agency’s efforts”.

Client Press Release October 21, 2008
GOING AFTER UNPAID FINES AND FEES MAKES BOTH DOLLARS AND SENSE
By Circuit Court Clerk Robert Spears
Peoria County Circuit Clerk Robert Spears reports that his office has retrieved more than $3 million in revenue for Peoria County and several of its municipalities thanks to programs enacted by his office in partnership with Peoria County State’s Attorney Kevin Lyons.
Lyons negotiated a contract with Harris & Harris Ltd. and the law offices of Arnold Scott Har-ris to collect past-due court fines and fees owed by criminal defendants and ordinance viola-tors. He authorized Harris & Harris Ltd. to begin collections more than two years ago as a supplement to the Compliance Program Circuit Clerk Robert Spears had already created in his own office.
The Circuit Clerk’s Office worked with Harris & Harris during the end of 2005 and the begin-ning of 2006 to fine-tune the collections program. Since January of 2006, this
program has collected and delivered to the County of Peoria more than $3,000,000 in delin-quent fines and costs. Scofflaws also pay all costs associated with the collection process, as Peoria County incurs no costs for operating this program and, prior to enacting this program, these debts would have gone uncollected. “It is a get-tough answer to a long-standing prob-lem,” Circuit Clerk Spears stated. “There are millions of dollars in past-due court debts da-ting back several decades.”
State’s Attorney Kevin Lyons said “It’s simply the right thing to aggressively collect what criminals owe the public. The County of Peoria is not some toothless tiger that should wait forever to get paid by criminals that are perfectly capable of paying their debts and don’t.” This collection program puts heat where it belongs: on the offender to cough up what’s due, and it keeps the County of Peoria from serving as a virtual bank carrying debt for someone that is able to pay but doesn’t.”
Circuit Clerk Spears said the collections and compliance programs demonstrate how com-munication and cooperation between several of the county’s top officials benefit taxpayers. “It’s all about accountability and collaboration for the benefit of Peoria County,” Spears said. “Because of these factors, along with the hard work of the employees of the Circuit Clerk’s and State’s Attorney’s Offices, this initiative enjoys great success.
“It keeps the County of Peoria
from serving as a virtual bank”.

COUNTY HIRES COLLECTORS, RECOVERS $4.6 MILLION
A Chicagoland county has been seeing success after it sent a tag-team of collection agen-
cies on the hunt for delinquent fees and fines. DuPage County, Ill., has successfully recov-
ered more than $4.6 million in payments on delinquent fines and fees since employing the
services of two debt collection firms a little more than 18 months ago, according to Bill Ma-
io, the county clerk’s chief compliance officer.
“A couple of years ago, Illinois law changed, allowing us to use outside collection agencies,
with their fee added on to the outstanding debt,” Maio said. DuPage County limits the fees
for its collection agencies – Harris & Harris of Chicago and Alliance One of Gig Harbor,
Wash., to 30 percent of the outstanding debt.
DuPage County Clerk Chris Kachiroubus decided several years ago that collecting outstand-
ing debt was a primary goal and named Maio to oversee the program. DuPage is predomi-
nately a wealthy, white collar suburban area located west of Chicago. “We thought this
[outside agencies] would be a good way to go to clean up a lot of our bad debt,” Maio add-
ed. The clerk’s office turns accounts over to the collection firms once the debts are 30 days
delinquent. Initially there were some complaints from delinquent payers, Maio said. “They
didn’t think we were serious at first. Now I haven’t heard a complaint in eight to nine
months.”
“We’ve sent a message that no matter where you are, we are going to find you,” Maio said.
“I have one guy in prison that sends me $1.25 a month.” The county is successfully collect-
ing delinquent debts from other prisoners as well, Maio added. “For every dollar we collect,
that’s one dollar less DuPage County residents have to pay in taxes.”
“For every dollar we collect,

AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by changing Section 5-9-3 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-9-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-9-3) Sec. 5-9-3. Default.
(a) An offender who defaults in the payment of a fine or any installment of that fine may be held in
contempt and imprisoned for nonpayment. The court may issue a summons for his appearance or a
warrant of arrest. (b) Unless the offender shows that his default was not due to his intentional refusal
to pay, or not due to a failure on his part to make a good faith effort to pay, the court may order the
offender imprisoned for a term not to exceed 6 months if the fine was for a felony, or 30 days if the
fine was for a misdemeanor, a petty offense or a business offense. Payment of the fine at any time
will entitle the offender to be released, but imprisonment under this Section shall not satisfy the pay-
ment of the fine. (c) If it appears that the default in the payment of a fine is not intentional under
paragraph (b) of this Section, the court may enter an order allowing the offender additional time for
payment, reducing the amount of the fine or of each installment, or revoking the fine or the unpaid
portion. (d) When a fine is imposed on a corporation or unincorporated organization or association, it
is the duty of the person or persons authorized to make disbursement of assets, and their superiors,
to pay the fine from assets of the corporation or unincorporated organization or association. The
failure of such persons to do so shall render them subject to proceedings under paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section. (e) A default in the payment of a fine, judgment order of forfeiture, order of restitu-
tion, or any installment thereof may be collected by any and all means authorized for the collection
of money judgments. The State's Attorney of the county in which the fine, judgment order of forfei-
ture, or order of restitution was imposed may retain attorneys and private collection agents for the
purpose of collecting any default in payment of any fine, judgment order of forfeiture, order of restitu-
tion, or installment thereof of that fine. The fees and costs incurred by the State's Attorney in any
such collection and the fees and charges of attorneys and private collection agents retained by the
State's Attorney for those purposes shall be charged to the offender.
