What this bond does

Bond #2 reimburses the North Carolina Department of Insurance for visiting and examining the agency in connection with a federal bankruptcy or State receivership proceeding involving that agency. It is not the bond that indemnifies collection clients for money the agency fails to account for.

Who needs it
A collection agency with a North Carolina permit that needs to replace its foreign state-expenses bond. DOI defines foreign domicile by incorporation within the United States but outside North Carolina, not simply by the office mailing address. Match the permit holder's incorporation status and requested bond number.
Who it protects
Under section 58-70-20(c), the bond is in favor of DOI for its specified examination expenses. The foreign model binds the principal and surety jointly and severally for $10,000. Client-fund protection under subsection (a) remains a separate requirement; replacing #2 does not replace #1.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Details

Check the existing permit and DOI request for FOREIGN #2 and section 58-70-20(c). The initial and renewal foreign packets each contain two different bonds. Their #2 condition covers DOI's expenses in the agency's bankruptcy or receivership proceeding, while #1 protects clients against unaccounted collections.

The state-expenses bond is continuous during the permit period and remains in effect until the Commissioner terminates it. Providing replacement security does not itself release the old surety: the Commissioner must accept the replacement and notify that surety of its release in writing. Plan the transition before letting existing security end.

The foreign model requires notice to both the principal and Commissioner at least 30 days before the permit period ends if the surety will not renew. That is a nonrenewal notice, not a general right to cancel the expense obligation on 30 days' notice. Past obligations incurred during the permit period remain covered if the permit is suspended or revoked.

Complete the legal name, address, FEIN, permit details and effective dates with authorized signatures and seals and the surety's notarial acknowledgment. DOI approval is needed to alter the bond's terms. The model also requires written registered- or certified-mail notice of a principal/surety legal-name change within 10 days and payment by the surety no later than 30 days after the Commissioner's written claim demand.

Purchase and delivery alone do not establish DOI acceptance or release the old surety.

Questions about this bond

Does replacing #2 replace the client-funds bond?

No. Bond #2 covers DOI's specified examination expenses under section 58-70-20(c). The client-funds obligation under subsection (a), shown as #1 in the foreign packet, is separate.

When is the previous surety released?

The foreign model permits release after the Commissioner accepts replacement security and notifies the surety in writing. A checkout receipt or a newly issued document is not that release.

Does MAIL mean DOI only accepts paper bonds?

It is the label on this purchase option. DOI publishes a bond-only mailing route, and its renewal instructions also accept electronic bonds by email. Confirm fulfillment with the provider and the accepted filing route with DOI for this replacement.
