A Note on New Jersey Commercial Collections
It’s important for business owners to know that the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) does not apply to commercial (B2B) debt. This means businesses have fewer legal protections from aggressive tactics than consumers do.
This makes your choice of partner even more critical. An unethical team can use this lack of regulation to bully your clients, permanently damaging your brand. We are bonded to operate in New Jersey and are committed to ethical, professional outreach that gets results while protecting your good name.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can a Newark collection agency recover unpaid freight, transportation, and warehousing invoices?
Yes. Logistics is especially important in Newark. The city reports that warehousing accounts for about 24% of jobs located in Newark, driven largely by Port Newark, Newark Liberty International Airport, rail connections, trucking, and freight operations.
Nexa can pursue documented B2B receivables involving freight charges, trucking invoices, warehousing and storage fees, distribution services, equipment rentals, logistics services, and commercial supply accounts.
For disputed transportation accounts, businesses should preserve contracts, rate confirmations, bills of lading, proof of delivery, warehouse records, invoices, accessorial charges, and correspondence regarding shortages, damaged freight, detention, or storage.
2. Can Newark medical and dental practices still send unpaid patient balances to collections in New Jersey?
Yes, but New Jersey has significantly changed the rules governing medical debt.
Under the Louisa Carman Medical Debt Relief Act, covered medical creditors and medical debt collectors generally cannot begin specified collection actions until 120 days after the first bill has been sent and the patient has been offered a reasonable payment plan. The law also caps medical-debt interest at 3% per year and restricts medical-debt credit reporting.
For Newark physicians, dentists, hospitals, urgent care centers, surgery centers, ophthalmologists, imaging centers, and senior living providers, patient balances should therefore be handled with accurate billing, appropriate payment-plan options, respectful communication, and secure handling of patient information.
3. How quickly should a Newark contractor act on an unpaid construction invoice?
Quickly. Under current New Jersey law, a qualifying contractor, subcontractor, or supplier on a nonresidential project generally has 90 days after last providing the work, services, materials, or equipment for which payment is claimed to file a construction lien. Residential construction follows a different procedure and timetable.
For Newark general contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies, restoration firms, roofers, subcontractors, and material suppliers, repeatedly sending invoices should not consume the lien period.
Collection activity can begin while potential lien rights are evaluated, with a qualified New Jersey construction attorney handling lien filing and enforcement where appropriate.
4. Can Newark landlords and property managers collect move-out charges that exceed the security deposit?
Potentially, yes. New Jersey generally requires a residential landlord to return the security deposit, less permissible deductions, within 30 days after the tenancy ends. If deductions are made, the landlord must also provide an itemized list.
Permissible deductions can include qualifying property damage beyond ordinary wear and tear and other amounts due under the lease. If legitimate unpaid rent, damages, or other lawful charges exceed the security deposit, the landlord may pursue the remaining balance.
For Newark property managers, a strong collection file should contain the lease, payment ledger, security-deposit accounting, photographs, inspection records, repair invoices, notices, and tenant communications.
5. Can a Newark business use Small Claims Court for an unpaid invoice?
Yes. In New Jersey, Small Claims Court generally handles claims up to $5,000. Claims above $5,000 and up to $20,000 can generally be filed in the Special Civil Part. Larger claims ordinarily belong in the Civil Part of Superior Court.
There is an important rule for businesses: a corporation, partnership, or other business entity generally must be represented by an attorney in Special Civil Part when its claim is more than $5,000.
For Newark businesses with straightforward unpaid invoices, court may be an option after ordinary collection efforts fail. But obtaining a judgment and actually collecting the money are separate steps.
6. How long does a Newark business have to collect an unpaid invoice in New Jersey?
It depends on the type of transaction.
Many New Jersey contractual claims are generally subject to a six-year statute of limitations. However, contracts involving the sale of goods are generally governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and have a four-year limitation period.
That distinction is particularly relevant for Newark manufacturers, wholesalers, logistics companies, equipment suppliers, food distributors, professional-service firms, and other B2B creditors. A service invoice and an invoice for goods may not have the same legal deadline.
Businesses should therefore avoid allowing accounts to age for years before deciding how to pursue them—the older an account becomes, the more difficult recovery can become even before the legal deadline expires.
