I had a small specialty contracting business, Finish Carpentry. I had a performance bond issued by an insurance company, upon my making a one-time payment to the insurance company. I can't remember the name of the insurance company. I think I made a one-time payment to secure the bond, and the insurance company held onto my money to secure the bond. There was never any claims made against my bond. After 12 years of contracting, I closed my business. I forgot about the bond. Recently, I have been contacted by the bondholder/insurance company 26 years after closing my business because they are holding the money I paid to secure the bond, and they want to return it to me. It has accrued interest through the years. 1) From the above information, can you tell me what kind of bond I had? 2) I lost the letter I received from the insurer and I would like to know how I can find out the name of the company that was my bondholder/insurer. It was approximately 26 years ago that I closed my company, and I cannot remember the name of the insurer. Can you tell me how I can research that and find this information? Thank you very much. A.
