  A little about credit bureaus: CreditBureaus are agencies that keep credit reports on file for every consumer with a federally-issued social security number.   A credit report file contains information about an individual’s financial debt, including account numbers for current and past debts, loan types and terms and payment history.   If an individual defaults on loan payments, the creditor may opt to send a report of the late payment(s) to the credit bureaus so that it will be reflected in the consumer’s credit file.   If you are a small business with a few debtors, you will have to use a middleman and pay a fee to report to the credit bureaus.   Otherwise, you may join the credit reporting bureaus and report directly to them.   Credit Reporting with Casetrackerlaw If you are interested in reporting debtors to the bureaus, you can use Casetrackerlaw to send the bureaus a file.   Using the “Advanced Search/Update Report” or the “Claims Report...

The bonding requirements are not based on the idea that particular individuals or organizations are inherently dishonest. Rather, bonding is required because experience has shown that when people are entrusted with the money or property of another, there will be instances when individuals will cause a loss through fraud or dishonesty. Bonding is there...
