About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Louisiana polices credit repair harder than almost any state: the Credit Repair Services Organization Act puts oversight under the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General, and a credit repair services organization must file a $100,000 surety bond there before conducting business. The bond secures your compliance with the Act — the disclosure, contract, and conduct rules that protect consumers who pay for credit repair.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General (the obligee). If the organization violates the Act or another legal obligation arising from its conduct, the Attorney General — and any person damaged by the violation — has a right of action on the bond for the loss sustained.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs continuously until cancelled on sixty days' written notice to the Attorney General, so it has to stay on file for as long as you operate; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

La. R.S. 9:3573.4The Attorney General's own bond form recites that a credit repair service organization applies to the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General for licensure as required by the Credit Repair Services Organization Act, LSA-R.S. 9:3573.4, and binds principal and surety in the full sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to secure compliance with the Act. The AG and any person damaged by a violation hold a right of action on the bond; cancellation requires sixty days' written notice.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the Attorney General. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General alongside your credit repair services registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $2,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued instantly.

These are the actual issuing fields — business details, an effective date, and a term. That is the application.
