Massachusetts Collection Agency Bond: Amount Required and the Premium

 

 

 

The Massachusetts collection agency bond is a $25,000 surety bond required by Commonwealth state regulations.

Pricing for the collection agency bond will be determined by the following:

  • Information provided on your surety bond application. (An application may be accepted directly over the phone with our surety agent);
  • The credit score of your business or your personal score.

Applicants with very good credit may pay as little as 1% for this surety bond; however, the amount that you will pay will be determined by the above variables, and so may vary considerably.

 

 

 

The Bond’s Duration

 

 

 

The Massachusetts debt collection agency bond is typically active for one year from the date of issuance.

Options exist in some cases to prepay for the collection agency bond for either 2 or 3 years. Though the premium in such instances would obviously be more, it does offer a savings over renewing annually.

 

 

 

The Purpose of this Surety Bond

 

 

 

Your Massachusetts collection agency bond (also referred to as a debt collection surety bond) is a financial guarantee which ensures your compliance with all rules, regulations, additions, and amendments involved in debt collecting in the Commonwealth.

The bond protects against acts of fraud, theft, misrepresentation or criminal malfeasance involved in debt collections.

The protections afforded the consumer by this surety bond also extend to wrongdoing committed by employees, agents, and managers of your collection agency business.
