<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nAttention Financial Institutions and Recovery Agencies Owners <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Allied Finance Adjusters has secured individual $1,000,000 Fidelity Protection Policies for its members!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n Many of you may already know that all the collateral recovery\u00a0trade associations\u00a0have lost their group Bond protection insurance policies. The Texas Department of Insurance was the first State to review the “bond” coverage that the trade associations had all purchased (from the same carrier, amazingly).\u00a0 After the Texas review, other states joined in and began their own reviews of the group bond coverage. After months of looking at the group policies and the way they had historically been handled, the regulators decided that allowing the associations to pay the fidelity bond coverage premium for the entire group of its members was, by state law, an unlicensed “selling” of insurance.\u00a0 The regulators also took issue with calling it\u00a0“bond” coverage rather than “fidelity protection” coverage! So, in order to\u00a0avoid any conflict or sanction by the state regulators, Allied Finance Adjusters went to work and negotiated a compliant program with its\u00a0new carrier,\u00a0The Hanover Insurance Group.<\/p>\n Allied has\u00a0made arrangements for each of its members to obtain\u00a0individual fidelity insurance policies\u00a0with our carrier without interruption of service to our members and their clients! For those of you who have been a member of\u00a0a national trade association, join Allied today and\u00a0you will\u00a0be covered for the next 30 days (pending inspections).
