North Carolina — Collection Agency Foreign Bond # 2 (UPDATED)

Foreign collection agency Bond #2 is North Carolina's $10,000 security for specified Department of Insurance examination expenses. Check that your permit request calls for #2, rather than the separate client-funds bond. The UPDATED label on this purchase option does not replace checking the issued form against DOI's current request.

What this bond does

This bond reimburses DOI for visiting and examining a nonresident collection agency in connection with a federal bankruptcy or State receivership proceeding involving that agency. It does not cover ordinary examinations generally or substitute for the agency's separate client-funds security.

Who needs it
Collection agencies applying for or maintaining the foreign classification in North Carolina. DOI bases that classification on incorporation within the United States but outside North Carolina. An office's street or mailing address alone does not determine the domicile classification.
Who it protects
Section 58-70-20(c) makes DOI the beneficiary for those specified expenses. The official foreign #2 form binds the principal and surety jointly and severally for $10,000, with aggregate surety liability limited to the bond amount. The foreign packet's #1 obligation protects collection clients separately.

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

Find the #2 document in DOI's foreign initial or renewal packet. Its expense condition under section 58-70-20(c) is different from #1's obligation to account for money collected for clients. A request for the client-funds calculation does not change the separate #2 amount to that calculated sum.

The expense bond remains continuous during the permit period and in force until the Commissioner terminates it. The model's surety-nonrenewal procedure calls for written notice to both the agency and Commissioner at least 30 days before the permit period ends. It does not create a general 30-day cancellation right.

Use the exact permit-holder name, address and FEIN, requested effective dates, authorized signatures and seals and surety notarial acknowledgment. Legal-name changes require the specified written notice within 10 days and an endorsement. No terms may be altered without the Commissioner's written approval; suspension or revocation leaves existing permit-period obligations covered.

If this purchase replaces existing security, obtain DOI acceptance and the Commissioner's written release of the previous surety. Issuance alone is not that release. The model also requires the surety to pay the Commissioner's proper claim within 30 days after written demand.

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Foreign Bond #2 UPDATED application in a new tab. Have the current permit/application and #2 request ready, then check the issued condition and execution. Follow DOI's bond-document route rather than the payment lockbox; its renewal instructions accept electronic copies. Finish the separate application or renewal and bond submission steps. Checkout does not approve the permit or certify that a supplier's UPDATED label matches DOI's accepted wording.

Have these ready

  1. Confirm the permit holder's foreign domicile classification and bring its legal name, FEIN and permit/application details.
  2. Check that DOI requests #2 state-expense security, separate from #1 client-funds security.
  3. Have the requested effective dates and arrange the principal/surety signatures, seals and surety acknowledgment.
  4. Review the issued condition against DOI's current foreign #2 form and use DOI's bond-filing instructions.

Questions about this bond

What expenses does #2 cover?

DOI's costs of visiting and examining the agency in connection with a federal bankruptcy or State receivership in which the agency is the subject. It is not a general guarantee of the agency's debts or its separate client-funds obligation.

Does UPDATED identify a legally different bond?

It is this purchase option's label. The controlling obligation is foreign #2 under section 58-70-20(c). Check the actual issued wording, dates and execution against DOI's accepted form rather than relying on the label alone.

Does a new #2 bond release an existing surety?

The official model allows release after the Commissioner accepts replacement security and gives the old surety written notice of release. Buying a new document does not establish that acceptance or release.
