What is the Purpose of the Surety Bond?
The primary purpose of a Colorado Repossessor Bond is to protect the public from financial loss caused by property damage during a repossession. Here’s a closer look at how it achieves this:
- Financial Guarantee: It acts as a financial guarantee of at least $50,000. If a repossessor damages property while repossessing collateral (like a car), the bond can be used to compensate the owner for the repairs or replacement.
- Discourages Negligence: By requiring a bond, the state discourages irresponsible repossession practices. Repossessors are more likely to handle the process with care to avoid damaging property, which could trigger a claim against their bond.
- Provides Recompense: In the unfortunate event of damage, the bond ensures the owner has a means to recover their losses. This helps minimize the financial burden caused by a repossessor’s negligence.
Overall, the Colorado Repossessor Bond serves as a safety net for both the public and the repossession industry. It promotes responsible repossession practices while offering financial recourse to property owners in case of damage.
If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal.
