Why do I need this bond?

Collection agency corporate bonds ensure that principals (collection agencies) will adhere and comply with all provisions of the New Mexico Collection Agency Regulatory Act. If the principal violates any of the given provisions, a claim can be made against the bond.

What’s the fine print?

The principal’s signature on the bond form must be witnessed by a licensed notary public. The bond is to be maintained until the principal’s license is withdrawn, terminated, or revoked. If the bond is otherwise canceled, the surety must send a written cancellation notice to the Director of the Financial Institutions Division at least 30 days before the cancellation date.
