29th District Court’s Amnesty Program

The 29th District Court

By Sarah Shurge – On Monday, February 23th, the City of Wayne published a press release regarding the 29th District Court offering a limited-time Amnesty Program for individuals with delinquent court cases.
This initiative not only provides an opportunity for participants to settle outstanding financial obligations at a reduced cost, but also assists the Court in efficiently clearing a backlog of cases with no additional court resources or collection costs.
The Amnesty Program will run from Sunday, March 1st through Tuesday, March 31st.
Any individual with a past due payable violation must contact the 29th District Court to determine eligibility and receive instructions on how to participate.
Eligible participants will have default, late fees, and warrant fees waived, reducing the total amount owed to the original fine.
Warrants will be canceled upon full payment of the original fine. Please note: a $45 clearance fee will still apply and cannot be waived.
This is a limited, one-time opportunity. After March 31st, the Court will resume collection efforts and enforcement, including the full imposition of penalties and late fees.
Payments must be made by cash, credit card (4% service fee applies), certified check, or money order. Personal checks will not be accepted.
For more information regarding the Amnesty Program or to check eligibility, call the 29th District Court at (734) 722-5220 or visit cityofwayne.com/200/29th-District-Court Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity before March 31st!
