Oklahoma licenses consumer litigation funders through the Department of Consumer Credit under the Consumer Litigation Funding Act, and the Administrator conditions that license on a $50,000 bond (14A O.S. § 3-810). Ours is $500 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the bond issues the moment you pay. The credit screen this application authorizes is a soft pull only, and it never affects your score.
















The bond is the one moving part of the licensing packet that does not take the Department 60 days. Here is the whole thing:
Your entity type, business details, years in business, and an effective date. No financial statements, no schedule of open funding agreements.
The price is final before you pay, and the executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot. Any credit screen here is a soft pull that leaves your score untouched.
Send the executed bond with your license application or your renewal package — the Department wants a certified copy of a current bond on file. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A consumer litigation funder buys a contingent, non-recourse right to part of the proceeds of a consumer's pending legal claim — the consumer takes money now and repays the funded amount plus the agreed charges only if the case resolves in their favor. Because the consumer is often injured, out of work, and negotiating under pressure, Oklahoma put the whole business under the Department of Consumer Credit rather than leaving it to contract law.
The bond is the consumer-facing half of that supervision. It is a three-party instrument: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department as obligee, with funded consumers as the protected parties. If a licensed funder practices fraud, collects charges the Act does not allow, pays or accepts a prohibited referral fee, or otherwise violates the licensing law, a harmed consumer has something to recover against.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you reimburse the surety. The Act lets you post an irrevocable letter of credit instead, but that ties up $50,000 of bank collateral for a year; the bond is a one-time premium. Bond terms run concurrent with the licensing period, so we track the December 31 expiry and remind you at 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields. The application carries a credit consent, and it authorizes a soft inquiry only.
