On January 18th, the Consumer Affairs Division of the DIFP issued an advisory regarding the use of fictitious names and the filing of monthly affidavits.
The advisory states that all general agents must submit a voided copy of the power of attorney used in executing bail bonds by February 28th. The advisory states that paperwork submitted to the courts, law enforcement or the DIFP shall not contain a DBA, marketing name, or fictitious name, and should only include the name of the licensee. (emphasis by DIFP) The advisory states that there have been a number of issues regarding the use of fictitious names on power of attorney forms used to execute bail bonds. The DIFP advises that any licensing or renewal application containing a fictitious name will be returned for correction, thus “hampering the already time-consuming application process.”
The department advises that each general agent must file an affidavit between the first and tenth of each month informing the DIFP whether or not there are any outstanding judgments against the licensee.
The DIFP attached bulletin 06-03, which was issued in 2006, concerning the use of fictitious names.
