About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Mississippi Debt Management Services Act licenses providers who administer debt management plans for consumers, through the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. To be eligible for a license, an applicant must file with the commissioner a bond with good security in the penal sum of $50,000, payable to the State of Mississippi — cash, a certificate of deposit, or government bonds of $50,000 may be filed in lieu.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee). The bond stands behind your faithful performance of the duties and obligations of the licensed business and the prompt payment of any judgment recovered against you on account of charges or other claims arising from a violation of the chapter — practically, it backstops consumer payments that were not properly distributed to creditors.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Your written agreement with each consumer has to disclose that the bond is on file with the commissioner, and the state can enforce its rights under the bond to collect civil penalties, criminal fines, or investigation costs, so it must stay continuously on file; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Miss. Code Ann. § 81-22-7Section 81-22-7 of the Mississippi Debt Management Services Act provides that to be eligible for a license an applicant shall file with the commissioner a bond with good security in the penal sum of $50,000, payable to the State of Mississippi for the faithful performance by the licensee of the duties and obligations pertaining to the business so licensed and the prompt payment of any judgment that may be recovered against the licensee on account of charges or other claims arising directly or collectively from any violation of the chapter. The applicant may file, in lieu of the bond, cash, a certificate of deposit, or government bonds in the amount of $50,000 with the commissioner. Section 81-22-11 requires each consumer agreement to disclose the existence of the bond, and Section 81-22-19 lets the state enforce its rights under the bond to collect civil penalties, criminal fines, and costs of investigation or prosecution.

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 $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.

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

Sign the original and file it. The original bond is mailed to the address you give us. The principal must sign it before it is filed with the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $775 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

No credit check.
