A company I deal next to is insured and bonded. How do I obtain the information on who they are bonded through?
Company did not complete contract agreement. They also did not comply with the lingo of Better Business Bureau arbitration which decided heavily contained by our favor.
Answers:
Well, the bond means NOTHING unless you are the obligee.
Let me explain . . . a bond is a guarantee, from the insurance company, to THE NAMED ENTITY ONLY, that the company will complete the contract agreement. The bond is issued TO THE NAMED ENTITY when it is first taken out.
If you be not sent a copy of the bond, then that scheme the bond is TO SOMEONE ELSE, and won't help you out AT ALL. So bonded, yes, but that channel SQUAT unless YOU are the obligee - which you are not.
So you won't be able to collect on the bond. You're going to hold to sue them in court to win any $$ from them. Sorry.
On your initial contract here should be an insurance number somewhere.
They should have, but are not required to, provide you near the information on who they are insured/bonded with.
Regardless of who it is...their insurance and bonding agreements are between the company you deal with and the insurer/bonder...not you. So you don't hold an automatic right to know who they are and you don't have an automatic right to record a claim directly with the insurer/bond agent.
The appropriate process is for you to lift court action against the company and win a decision. The company you dealt near can then any pay you directly or profile a claim with the insurer/bonder.
