McHenry County Collection Efforts Pay Off

The McHenry County State's Attorneys Office, with assistance of the McHenry County Circuit Clerk, Kathy Keefe, has recovered over $250,000 in outstanding fines and court costs owed the County from traffic and criminal offenders.

In January, 2009 a contract was entered into with Alliance One Receivables Managements, Inc., an outside collections agency to recover outstanding fines and court costs due the County on cases that have been closed by the courts.

This collection comes at no cost to the taxpayers as all costs are passed onto the delinquent offenders. This money would have remained largely unpaid without these efforts which help ease financial pressures for McHenry County and the taxpayers.
