District Court unveils holiday promotion

The 36th District Court in Detroit has announced an exclusive holiday promotion that runs to the end of December.

Individuals who have outstanding debt owed to the court will have the opportunity to “lay it away” and enter into a payment plan with only 10 percent down of their balance due.

All adjudicated cases in which fines and costs were assessed are eligible. As an added bonus, upon making the final payment, all late fees and penalties will be waived.

Chief Judge Nancy Blount described the program as an opportunity for individuals “to get back on track and eventually restore their driving privileges, whether they have defaulted on a previous payment plan or want to start a new plan.”
