What is a Collection Agency Bond?
Collection Agency Bonds (sometimes called Debt Collector Bonds) connect you, your state government agency, and a surety company into a contractual agreement.
A Collection Agency Bond holds your business to a high standard and promises your clients that you will conduct ethical and honest services. This includes appropriately handling money and appropriately processing any fees that incur during a business transaction.
Should you not run an ethical business, your clients are protected by the bond and have a plan of action to recover any financial losses that might come about.
How Much Will my Bond Cost?
The amount of a collection agency bond in Oregon is $10,000, luckily, that is not how much you will need to pay to get your bond. The actual price you pay is a small percentage of that amount which is determined by your credit score. This percentage is usually between 1-15%.
