What is a Collection Agency Surety Bond?

A Collection Agency surety bond guarantees that debt collectors will abide by all state and federal laws. The surety bond protects the public legally and financially if the collector breaks the law when dealing with the public. If the principle acts against the bond agreement, the state has the legal ability to cancel the bond and revoke the principal’s business license.

Typically, the bond amount is determined by the number of agency employees, how much yearly revenue is expected, and the population the agency will be serving, among other factors. The bond premium is only a small fraction of the bond amount that you will be required to pay in order to purchase the bond. Surety1 works to get you the lowest possible premium for your bond by working along side more than a dozen well established surety markets and sending over the lowest quote.
