How to file a bond claim with Colonial Surety Company

1. Confirm the bond. Open the broker's page below (or check its MC) and confirm Colonial Surety Company is the surety and the bond is active. Note the bond number.
2. Send the broker a written demand with your invoice, rate confirmation, and signed POD/BOL.
3. Get the surety's claims address. FMCSA's public data does not list surety claims contacts. Use the address on the bond itself, ask the broker, or look on Colonial Surety Company's own website. See how to find a broker's surety and claims contact.
4. File the claim in writing with the bond number, broker name and MC, amount owed, and copies of your documents. Keep proof of delivery.
