When will I have to pay APS remaining balance?
APS remaining balance is due at the time that you provide the First Court payment of $210. You can pay the remaining balance with a DEBIT CARD, CREDIT CARD, PAYPAL or ZELLE, no personal checks accepted.

Can Someone Else Make the Payment On My Behalf?
If someone else makes the payment on your behalf (i.e. your Spouse, Family Member or Friend), then that person has to sign an AFFIDAVIT before a notary that authorizes that payment. APS will prepare the AFFIDAVIT for you at no additional cost (after the form and deposit have been received).
Can I make the payment with my PayPal Business Account or Business Debit/Credit Card?
You cannot use a Debit or Credit Card in your BUSINESS NAME. If the payment is received in your BUSINESS NAME, then APS cannot provide service to you. If you have a PayPal account and the information in your PayPal account is in your BUSINESS NAME, sorry APS cannot provide service to you. The payment has to be in your name only.
