Any person who is intending to conduct a collection agency in the State of Indiana is required to submit an application for a license to the Secretary of State.

 

A surety bond – along with a completed application form, application fee, and the statement of the officers or partners of the LLP, corporation, and LLC – must be procured for the issuance of the said license.

 

The purpose of the surety bond is to ensure the compliance of the licensed collection agency to the relevant Indiana statutes which includes a complete accounting of all the collected monies.

 

A breach of the statutes and other regulations will be a ground for a bond claim. This requirement is in line with Section 25-11-1-3 of the Indiana Code.

The bond amount is $5,000 per office that the collection agency license applicant operates within the state.

 

If you have an excellent credit score, you will be eligible to pay for a low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount!
