Consumer Legal and Litigation Funding companies advance cash to their customers who are awaiting settlements or judgements from ongoing lawsuits. The agreement is that the plaintiff will repay after they receive their legal proceeds. This creates an opportunity for financial damage to the customer through excessive fees or deceptive funding practices. The bond is in place as a guarantee to the obligee that the company will not engage in unlawful activity. Should a customer suffer financial harm, the bond may provide restitution for valid claims. Below is a list of activities that could potentially lead to a claim:
This list is not exhaustive, and specific regulations can change depending on the state.
Filing procedures can vary by state, but the standard process is typically for you to mail or email the signed bond to the obligee. After you purchase, Jet will email you a copy of your bond form that you can print out and sign, or electronically sign if the obligee you're working with allows for it. In the event that you are required to mail in the physical bond form, Jet will mail you the original sealed bond form for you to sign and mail in. If your specific bond is filed in the National Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), Jet can file the bond for you after you grant us authority.
