      Answered
      Failure to Investigate: CNA Surety neglected to conduct a comprehensive investigation despite evidence highlighting inconsistencies in the notarization process. Misrepresentation: The company misrepresented facts and attempted to justify the notary's improper actions, providing false explanations and shifting blame away from the notary. Lack of Compliance: CNA Surety demonstrated a lack of knowledge and compliance with notary laws, making excuses for the notary's actions instead of ensuring adherence to legal requirements. Lack of Transparency: Throughout the claims process, CNA Surety failed to provide transparency, including updates on the status of my claim and steps taken in the investigation process. False Information: The company provided false information about efforts to locate the notary, who was actually bonded with CNA Surety during the period in question, indicating a conflict of interest. Omission of Paperwork: Despite initial assurances, essential paperwork provided by the notary was omitted by the company. Bias: CNA Surety exhibited bias towards the notary throughout the handling of my claim, compromising the fairness and integrity of the investigation process.

      Western Sure Company is not authorized to underwrite public official oath of office bonds with NAIC or the Texas Department of Insurance and needs to be held accountable for all the damages they’ve caused harm to the public, and the county and judicial system are all claiming governmental immunity. Thank you very much

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

      When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

      BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
