Former Agent Appeals DIFP License Refusal

Gregory Billingsley of Macon, MO has appealed the DIFP’s October 2006 decision to refuse to grant him a bail bond license. According to the Department’s ruling, Billingsley previously held a general bail bond license from 1996 to 1999. The DIFP alleges in their decision that Billingsley surrendered his general bail bond license after he had numerous unsatisfied judgments. Billingsley’s $10,000 CD was attached to satisfy some of the judgments. DIFP refused to grant Billingsley’s recent application for a bail bond license, stating that he failed to meet qualifications for surety under MO Supreme Court rules, had demonstrated incompetence, and had violated obligations imposed by the laws of this state by not satisfying the previous judgments against him. Billingsley appealed the DIFP ruling to the Administrative Hearing Commission. That hearing is scheduled for April 2, 2007.
