People’s Bail Bonds

Briefly describe your problem (4000 characters maximum) *
On or about midnight of January 19, 2016, I called EDWARD KASSABIAN — (BA1843436 EFF. 04÷27÷04) at People’s Bail Bond Agency at telephone number 818−787−7788, which he answered. I inquired about the possibility of bailing out one client of mine at my Sober Living Home located in Reseda, CA 91 335. She was in custody and had a $ 75,000.00 bail. After some discussion and negotiation, it was agreed that Edward Kassabian would post the bond in exchange for a $ 3,000.00 fee. We also discussed the fact that my client was already out on bail at the time of this latest arrest on a $ 250,000.00 bond written by Edward and Haroutoin (Harry) Kassabian, of People’s Bail Bond Agency (brothers). Edward Kassabian indicated that he had called the jail, that there were NO HOLDS on my client and assured me it would be «No problem» and took $ 3,000.00 in cash promising to go and see my client in Van Nuys Jail and post the bond. Several hours later, when my client had still not been released, I called Edward Kassabian, who stated that «he had posted the bond» and that my client was just «waiting on processing». I called the jailer who indicated that «No bond had been placed». Upon confronting Edward Kassabian with this, he denied it and said he would «check on it». This back and forth went on for hours resulting in no movement toward release for my client, Edward Kassabian attempting to change the deal by insisting that I would have to assume the balance of both bonds or put up my house as collateral, while he was also supposedly attempting to get the original bond co-​signer to agree to add this new $ 75,000.00 to the existing bond (which according to Edward Kassabian, the original co-​signors declined to do). Edward Kassabian acknowledged during this time that my client was in compliance with the payment terms of the $ 250,000.00 bond, paying as agreed (or more than agreed) each month and only owed approximately $ 3,000.00 to fully satisfy the terms of the prior agreement. Yet, by 8am he would only sporadically respond to calls and text messages until finally, at 8:38am, Edward Kassabian texted me for the last time stating, «Just got off the phone, they (the under-​writers) shot it down».
As it was clear at this point in time that People’s Bail Bond Agency and Edward Kassabian COULD NOT or WOULD NOT post the bond (despite me offering to double the rate to $ 6,000.00), I contacted another bonding agent. I had to pay him only $ 3,800.00 and my client was released within an hour. At 9:41 am I texted Edward Kassabian this final message «OK, what time can I pick up my money?» He never responded.
I contacted Harry Kassabian (Haroutoin) at 10:05 am asking for a refund… He said «Fuck you!» «Get it from that whore». I told him I needed to come to his office to get my money and that if he did not have my cash I would be reporting him to the Department of Insurance. He screamed at me never to threaten him and said that if I come to his office he will «shoot me in the head with his .45». That ended all discussions and is the basis of my complaint.
Now, while all of this is bad, the next thing they did is why you should never use their services: HARRY KASSABIAN CALLED THE COURT CLERK AND TOLD THE COURT ABOUT THE NEW ARREST!!! DELIBERATELY CREATING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE COURTS AND FOR MY CLIENT. There was no legal obligation to do that and he did it because he is a thief and a liar and a horrible human being. He did that to someone who paid all of his fees ($ 13,000.00) as agreed and never missed a court date.
What do I consider to be a fair resolution to your problem?
The only fair resolution is that I am to be refunded my $ 3,000.00 and that they should face disciplinary action and sanctions in keeping with whatever the Department of Insurance feels is appropriate. Personally, I would like to see Haroutoin (Harry) Kassabian stripped of his license and any gun permits he may possess, his brother Edward Kassabian charged with felony theft and both of them answering criminal charges. But my only interest here is to have my money returned to me and to warn the public. We are currently considering suing them.

Wow, Harry is so great!’ He got my ex-​husband out in a matter of minutes thank you so much !

Great company. They’re quick, convenient and courteous. Hopefully you won’t need they’re services, but if you do, I highly recommend Peoples.

This agency is the BEST!
My firm has dealt with PBB for years. «Eddie» at PBB is the most courteous and exemplifies customer service. His personal touch makes all the difference.
Most recently, he asissited an out of state client with a matter. He stayed with this client allday and allnight just to ensure everything went right. His efforts and knowledge made all the difference.
If ANYONE needs a REAL Bail Bonds Agent, call «Eddie.» He is absolutely EXCELLENT.
He’s so good, you’ll want to get arrested!
