What happens in case a party files a bond claim against me?
It’s important to remember that your surety bond does not protect your foreclosure consultancy. Instead, it safeguards the interests of your customers and the general public. You can get a claim against your surety bond if you transgress from your obligations under the Indiana Code and other applicable rules.
The harmed party can ask for a reimbursement of up to $25,000, which is the penal sum of your bond. The surety that bonded you may have to cover the claim costs at first, in order to ensure a quick response for the claimant. You need to repay it in full soon after. This means that avoiding costly and problematic claims is your best course of action.
