- commingling funds from multiple clients
These laws and more can be found in the ORS Chapter 697.662 - Prohibited Acts, which is linked to in the "Additional Resources" section of this page.
What’s the fine print?
Oregon debt management bonds are continuous until canceled. If for any reason the surety decides to cancel this bond, it must provide 30 days' written notice to the Department of Consumer and Business Services.
To become a legal working debt management company, the company must also be registered with the state.
