How to Purchase a Bad Credit Surety Bond

Many surety bond companies operate the same way. Because they assume a 0% loss ratio, only those with good credit scores (usually 650 or higher) are approved. If you do not meet this requirement, you are not approved and you have no other options. However, with a bad credit surety bond, even those with average-to-poor credit scores or no credit history can easily be approved. Finding places that offer a bad credit surety bond is not as difficult as one might think.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Use a search engine like Google to find a company offering Bad Credit Surety Bonds in your state. Many companies that specialize in Bad Credit Surety Bonds operate in only specific states, so you'll have to find some options that work for your location. A simple search for the phrase "Bad Credit Surety Bonds" in parenthesis, and your state outside of the parenthesis, will return a multitude of results.

2. Read over the web page for the company or companies you are thinking about to get a feel of what kind of business they are. Consider doing a second search for just the name of the company or with the Better Business Bureau to see what kind of experiences others are having with them. Be sure to look at thinks like rates and when payments are due. Be sure to compare companies.

3. Find the Bad Credit Surety Bond application on the web page for the company you have ultimately decided to go with. Many of them will be linked right on the homepage. Select the application. Some sites may have online electronic applications. Others may require you to print out an application to fill it out and mail or fax it to them. Don't decide not to go with a company just because they don't have an online application that yields instant approval - these people are here to help you, so you need to be patient.

4. Wait for your results. Some companies promise instant approval or in as soon as 24 hours. Other companies may take longer. Be patient. After this, you've successfully purchased a Bad Credit Surety Bond.

on 8/3/2009 Rates for these bonds will be about the same, regardless of the agency you choose. This is because there are only a few sources for these bonds nationwide. One source may asks for a percentage of cash collateral to secure the bond and some may charge a larger premium but will not require collateral. You should avoid those agencies that add large brokers fees to the already very high premiums for these high risk bonds.
