How Does a Delaware Debt Management Services Provider Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a debt management services provider bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the debt management services provider filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Delaware Director of Consumer Protection requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding all applicable provisions of the Delaware Uniform Debt Management Services Act

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your debt management services provider bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
