Recovering Revenue in the Grand Canyon State: Arizona Debt Collection Guide
In Arizona’s explosive economy—from the semiconductor giants of Phoenix to the aerospace hubs of Tucson—cash flow is the engine of growth. However, with average household debt in Arizona hitting $67,800 and credit card balances averaging $9,099, businesses are facing a new era of delinquency.
Navigating the Arizona legal landscape requires more than persistence; it requires an agency that understands the seismic shifts caused by Proposition 209.
Apart from Arizona, Nexa provides 100% reputation-safe, 50-state collections with free credit reporting, litigation and bankruptcy scrubs, and zero hidden or onboarding fees on both fixed-fee and contingency models. Secure – SOC 2 Type II & HIPAA compliant.

The Arizona Legal Landscape
Arizona is a unique “hybrid” state. While the Statute of Limitations is generous, consumer protections on assets are some of the strongest in the country.
Strategic Compliance Note: Under Proposition 209, interest on medical debt is capped at 3% (or the weekly average one-year constant maturity treasury yield, whichever is less). Nexa’s 2026 auditing engine automatically adjusts these rates, ensuring your practice never faces a predatory lending lawsuit.

2. Construction & B2B: Protecting Your Liens
