What is a mortgage loan originator surety bond?
A mortgage loan originator surety bond is a type of license and permit bond to ensure that consumers can seek recourse for financial losses if they’re wronged by a professional loan originator during a mortgage transaction. Prohibited acts covered by this bond include, but are not limited to:
- defrauding or misleading borrowers and lenders
- obtaining property by fraud or misrepresentation
- failing to disclose information as required by state law (such as annual interest rate percentages)
- advertising a product at a low price when not available to entice customers to buy a more expensive product (otherwise known as “bait and switch” advertising)
- collecting or charging prohibited fees
- failing to comply with the Act or any Board rule
If the principal violates the terms of the bond agreement and a consumer is harmed as a result, a claim can be made on the bond.
Colorado mortgage loan originator bonds remain continuous unless otherwise canceled. If the bond is to be canceled, the surety must provide 30 days written notice to the obligee prior to cancellation.
