What is a Collection Agency Bond?
If you own a collection agency, then your state may require you to purchase a surety bond before you are legally licensed to perform debt collections.
A collection agency bond is much the same as other surety bonds in that they serve as a guarantee that your company will perform its duties in accordance with all state and industry regulations.

How does a surety bond work?
In surety bonds like a collection agency bond, there are three entities: the principal, the obligee, and the surety. The principal is the business or individual that is required to purchase the bond. The obligee is the agency that requires a bond to be purchased. The surety is the company that serves as the underwriter for the bond.
If a consumer believes that funds were misappropriated by the collection agency, they can file a claim against the bond. The surety company will investigate, and if their claim is deemed valid, then payment will be made, not to exceed the amount of the bond. The collection agency is responsible for reimbursing the surety company for the amount that is paid out of the bond.
