THE SURETY BOND CLAIM PROCESS The obligee (the party protected by the bond) files a claim with the surety company, providing evidence of the principal's (the party who purchased the bond) failure to meet contractual obligations.
The surety bond protects the obligee against losses resulting from the principal's failure to meet the obligation. The person or company providing the promise is also known as a "surety" or as a "guarantor".
How to make a surety bond claim Step #1: Find out who bonded the offender. Step #2: Make contact with the bonding company, specifically their Claims Department. Step #3: File the surety bond claim as the surety company requires. Step #4: Once your claim is received, maintain contact with the surety company.
Surety bond premiums are mainly calculated based on the applicant's credit score and usually vary between 0.5%-10% of the total bond amount. Other influencing factors include: Industry Experience: More experience can lead to lower premiums. Financial Strength: Strong financials and liquid assets can reduce costs.
With a surety bond in Illinois, customers can seek the services of a business knowing that they will be compensated in case the contract is violated. A growing number of businesses are therefore required to be bonded to protect their customers from damages incurred when the terms of a contract are not fulfilled.
Is Everyone Eligible for a Surety Bond? No, not everyone is eligible for a surety bond. Being eligible for a surety bond typically depends upon two important things: whether claims have been made against your past bonds and your credit history.
