How Do I Avoid Chickasaw Small Loan Company Bond Claims?

Small loan lenders in the City of Chickasaw should be intimately familiar with the fiduciary requirements of their license and any provisions that pertain to them in the Small Loan Act Section 5-18. A few examples of violations of the Act that may lead to a claim are:

If a consumer has a complaint, they can file it with the Alabama State Banking Department or the City of Chickasaw, who will then conduct an investigation. If the complaint is found to be valid, it can escalate into a claim on the Small Loan Company Bond. Furthermore, under the Small Loan Act, violations can result in misdemeanor conviction, fines of $100 to $500, and even prison sentences up to six months.

Notify Jet immediately if an investigation is pending that could result in a bond claim. Jet will help defend you to the maximum extent possible. The Jet team will be counting on your honest communication and transparency with the details of the case to offer you the best possible defense. 

If the claim is valid, Jet Insurance Company is obligated to pay out the claim up to the limit of the bond. Consider Jet in this case to be a financial guarantor, providing payment to the City on your behalf. You are still responsible for the actions that resulted in the claim, and will be required to reimburse Jet to reinstate your bond. Failure to keep your bond in the amount required may lead to complications with your license.
