Why do I need this bond?
Colorado debt collector bonds protect clients who placed debts with the collection agency for collection but did not receive remittances of money collected. Specifically, the bond ensures that the agency:
- accounts for and pays the proceeds of all collections less the charges for collection in accordance with the terms of the agreements made between the licensee and all of its clients
- turns over to its clients any notes, valuable papers or evidence of indebtedness which might have been deposited with the licensee by its clients as required by law
- faithfully complies with all requirements of the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the rules and regulations of the Administrator
