California Collection Agency Bonds

This surety bond aims to ensure collection agencies comply with the terms of their state license. Collection agencies must properly handle the money they receive and route it to outstanding debts appropriately. If an agency misappropriates funds, a claim can be filed against the bond. If the bond is paid out, the collection agency must reimburse the bond agency.

Pursuant to the Debt Collection Licensing Act of California, any person or persons engaged in debt collection on behalf of others or is a debt buyer must be licensed and therefore bonded.

California requires a collection agency bond amount of $25,000. For qualified applicants, this bond is relatively affordable and typically costs about one percent of the total bond amount. Collection agencies may require bonds in multiple states if they operate as such, therefore their total bond premium will vary based on the requirements of each state.
