Debt Management Service Provider Bonds

Learn more about debt management service provider bonds

Some states (obligees) require those who provide debt management services (principals) to file surety bonds to legally operate.

Debt management service provider bonds are a form of consumer protection. The surety provider guarantees the obligee will be compensated in the event the principal does not fulfill the terms of the agreement and prohibits principals from engaging in activities such as purchasing debts of consumers, providing credit to a consumer, or engaging in unfair or deceptive debt management practices.

If the principal violates any of the terms of the bond agreement and consumers are harmed, the surety will cover all damages up to the full bond amount. The principal, in turn, must compensate the surety for any damages paid out.
