McHenry County Delinquent Fines and Fees Recovered By State's Attorney

McHenry County is collecting $145,000 owed by delinquent defendants who failed to pay their Court ordered fines and fees.

This was accomplished through the State's Attorney's contract with AllianceOne, a collection agency, retained for this purpose. The County pays no costs for the collections; instead the delinquent defendants pay all collection costs.
State's Attorney Louis A. Bianchi reports that a collaborative effort with McHenry County Circuit Clerk, Kathy Keefe, resulted in the collection of unpaid fines and fees, recovered in less than a year.

This was the results of the State’s Attorney’s initiative to pursue the collection of these outstanding fines and costs to help meet the financial needs of the County.
