Why do I need this bond?
By posting an Indiana credit service organization bond, the principal (credit service organization) agrees to abide by all laws found in the Indiana Code. Prohibited acts according to this code include:
- receiving payment before the completion of services
- charging for services that will put the customer into further debt
- guaranteeing to complete services that are impossible, such as ‘making bad credit disappear’
If any of these acts occur and a valid claim is made against the bond, the surety will cover all damages suffered by the harmed parties up to the full bond amount. The principal, in turn, is required to compensate the surety for any financial loss.
