Parking Tickets - Red Light Camera Tickets - Discover Pass Tickets

You must respond within fifteen (15) days of the date the ticket was personally served on you.  If the ticket is not paid timely, a Delinquency Notice will be issued advising the ticket has not been paid and the account will be assigned to the court's collection agency - ARMADA Corp.  Once the case has been sent to the collection agency, it is the policy of the Court that any and all further payment activity is made through ARMADA Corp. only; the Court will no longer accept payment on any such accounts.

Infractions

You must respond within fifteen (15) days of the date the ticket was personally served on you.  A failure to pay or respond to the ticket within 15 days results in an order that the infraction was committed.  If you asked for a hearing and do not appear, your payment is due immediately. 

If you can't pay your penalty in full at the time of the hearing, you may work out a payment plan.  This is a contract for installment payments with which you must strictly comply.  Read the contract carefully, as failure to follow the contract can result in late fees, a possible suspension of your driver's license, and assignment of the account to a collection agency. 

Payment plans are contracted with PAYASSIST, a division of Armada Corp.  If an account is not fully paid when at PAYASSIST, the account may be returned to the Court for assignment to a collections agency.  Once PAYASSIST no longer has the account, they will not accept payments.

When an infraction is not paid in a timely manner or a hearing is missed, a $52 late penalty is added to the amount shown on the ticket.  Your driver's license or privilege may then be suspended if the penalty is not paid and the account may be assigned to a collection agency.

Criminal

If you can't pay all of your fine at sentencing, the Judge or clerk will inform you how to set up a time payment agreement.  This is a contract for installment payments with which you must strictly comply.  Read the contract carefully, as failure to follow the contract can result in late fees, suspension of your driving privileges, a bench warrant or assignment to a collection agency.

Payment plans are contracted with PAYASSIST, a division of Armada Corp.  If an account is not fully paid when at PAYASSIST, the account may be returned to the Court for assignment to a collections agency.  Once PAYASSIST no longer has the account, they will not accept payments.

Delinquent Accounts Placed Into Collections Status

Chelan County District Court accounts receivable (criminal, civil and infraction case types) that have become delinquent and have had no payment activity, are assigned to ARMADA Corp. for collection purposes.  Once an account is assigned to the collection agency it is the policy of the Court that any and all further payment activity is made through ARMADA Corp. only; the Court will no longer accept payment on any such accounts.

To assist those whose accounts have been placed into collections, ARMADA Corp. offers several types of payment options, including payment plans for those persons who have suspended driver's licenses and need to have their case FTA cleared so that the suspension on their driver's license can be lifted.
