Why do I need a North Dakota collection agency bond?
North Dakota collection agency surety bonds ensure that principals (collection agencies) fully comply with all provisions of Chapter 13-05 of the North Dakota Century Code. If the collection agency fails to comply with these terms and the state or an individual financially suffers as a result, the surety will cover claims up to the full bond amount. The principal is then responsible for reimbursing the surety.
