Why do I need this bond?
Connecticut consumer collection agency bonds ensure that the principal (collection agency) truly accounts for all funds entrusted to it and collected and received by it during business conducted as a licensed collection agency. If the principal fails to conduct business ethically and lawfully, the bond protects any person who is damaged by the wrongful conversion of any creditor, consumer debtor or property tax debtor funds held by the principal up to the full amount of the bond ($25,000). The collection agency must reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.
