Circuit court amnesty week starts Monday


Starting Monday, individuals with outstanding criminal or traffic fines and fees can catch a break and have a chance to settle a delinquent accounts with the County Circuit Clerk. For five days next week all collection and late fees will be waived for those who pay the amount due on their entire case.

To avoid collection fees and interest, those seeking amnesty must pay the total of the original court-ordered fines and fees for their case by Friday, September 13. Partial payments will not be accepted by the Clerk's office.

Payments will be accepted by mail with a money order or cashier’s check as long as the envelope is postmarked by Friday. The Clerk’s Office is also offering extended office hours at the Urbana courthouse. For more information contact the Champaign County Circuit Court at 217-384-3725 to speak with a representative.
