In November, 2014 Logan County entered into a contract with
Credit Collection Partners of Taylorville, IL to help collect unpaid
monies due to Logan County involving criminal and quasi-criminal
cases that have been uncollectable. The collection agency has been
instrumental in collecting over $100,000 since January of 2015.
We have now contracted with the Illinois Debt Recovery Offset
Program, Illinois Comptroller’s Office to further our collection
efforts. What this means is anyone who owes our county monies that
have been uncollectable involving criminal and quasi-criminal cases
and will receive an Illinois State income tax refund, is employed by
the State government, State University, Illinois Lottery Winnings,
and most other state payments an offset will be held by the state
Comptroller’s Office per statute and contract agreement. After the
holding period the funds will be forwarded to the Logan County
Circuit Clerk’s Office and applied to the balance owed. Should you
want to pay in full you can contact our office at (217) 735-2376 and
we will instruct you further.
