Fines Recovery & License Reinstatement Program
For many, outstanding court debt has become a source of ongoing stress, financial hardship and in some cases additional court costs resulting from contempt of court and jail time.
The Guthrie County Attorney's Office established a program to assist those who have delinquent financial court obligations. All collections staff and operations for Guthrie County are handled through the Guthrie County Attorney’s Office.
Those who might not qualify for driver's license reinstatement at this time might be eligible for a payment plan through our office while they work to meet the other requirements for reinstatement.
Benefits:
The possibility of one payment for all your delinquent Guthrie County cases:
- Renewal of vehicle registration
- Reinstatement of driving privileges
- Avoid contempt charges
- Avoid garnishment of wages
Payment plans must remain in good standing and are subject to program rules and Iowa Code 331.756 & 602.8107.
If you would like more information, please call 641-747-3765 Ext. 2 or email [email protected].
Payment Plan
This plan is most often used to satisfy probation/parole requirements, help with vehicle registration holds, and to avoid garnishments.
The payment plan WILL NOT PREVENT THE SUSPENSION or CHANGE THE STATUS of your driver's license. For a payment plan regarding for your driver’s license status, please apply for the Driver’s License Reinstatement Payment Plan (CAPP).
Driver’s License Reinstatement Payment Plan (CAPP)
The Driver's License Reinstatement Plan (CAPP) is a payment plan that allows people who have been suspended, or soon will be suspended, for non-payment of fines to get their driver’s license back.
If you owe delinquent child support, DOT civil penalty and/or judgement(s) as a result of an auto accident, the CAPP can only lift the suspension(s) for non-payment of fines.
