Failure to file a new bond within 10 days of the recovery on a bond, or within 10 days after notification by the commissioner that a new bond is required, constitutes sufficient grounds for the suspension or revocation of the license. A licensee may provide the commissioner a refundable deposit in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in lieu of the bond while the licensee pursues a new bond.

The commissioner may require a higher bond amount for a licensee based on the number of affiliates under the license and the dollar amount of collecting
consumer debt by that licensee.
