How to dispute a claim?

[missmida]

Hello!
There has been a claim put against me on my state contractors bond and I feel it is fraudulent. The bill for the claim has been paid for with the claimant. And now the bond company is asking for 40% of the bond amount in order to reinstate the bond. I feel that this claim is fraudulent and I would like to dispute it. What are my options to dispute?
Thanks.

As an agency, we never handle claims directly. However, the bonding company should go to bat for you against the state if they feel it is not a valid claim.

Try calling the claims department of the surety to discuss.
