Why do I need this bond?

Oregon debt collection surety bonds ensure that principals (collection agencies) abide by all of the laws, rules and regulations stated in the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 697. Some of these laws include:

  • permitting the director to access any records
  • maintaining regular business hours
  • not depositing money from multiple clients into the same account

The Division of Financial Regulation classifies a business as a collection agency in Oregon when it collects third-party debts or repossesses collateral.
