Debt Collection Costs for Montana Businesses
Fixed-Fee Recovery
For about $15 per account, NexaCollect can send professional collection demands while the client keeps 100% of recovered payments. This is generally best suited to fresher accounts (30 to 90 days past due).
Contingency Collections
Older or more difficult consumer accounts can move to full collection activity at a typical 40% contingency fee. If nothing is recovered, there is no contingency fee. Commercial B2B pricing may vary based on account size, age, and complexity.
Montana Debt Collection Laws: What Creditors Should Know
Montana creditors should consider both federal requirements and state-specific rules before escalating an account.
Contract Limitation Periods
MCA § 27-2-202 currently provides six years for actions founded on an instrument in writing and five years for contracts, accounts, or promises not founded on an instrument in writing. The correct limitation period can depend on the underlying documents and circumstances.
Wage Garnishment
Under MCA § 25-13-614, ordinary judgment garnishment is generally limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable weekly earnings or the amount by which those earnings exceed 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage. Different rules apply in certain situations.
Judgments
MCA § 27-2-201 generally provides a 10-year period for actions upon qualifying judgments.
> Noted: Older, disputed, or legally complex accounts should be reviewed individually before legal action is considered.

Frequently Asked Questions About Montana Debt Collection
How much does a collection agency cost in Montana?
NexaCollect offers fixed-fee collections starting around $15 per account and contingency collections for older accounts. Consumer contingency service is typically 40%, while commercial B2B rates can vary depending on balance size, account age, and complexity.
How long can a business pursue a debt in Montana?
It depends on the obligation. Montana currently provides six years for actions founded on a written instrument and five years for certain contracts, accounts, or promises not founded on a writing (MCA § 27-2-202). Other limitation periods may apply depending on the account.
When should a Montana business send an account to collections?
Businesses generally benefit from addressing unpaid accounts before they become severely aged. If normal invoices, reminders, and follow-up attempts are no longer producing payment, professional collection activity can reduce the time employees spend chasing the same balance.
Can NexaCollect handle medical collections in Montana?
Yes. Medical accounts are handled using patient-sensitive collection practices designed to protect provider relationships while following applicable privacy, consumer-protection, and collection requirements.
Can a Montana business collect from a debtor in another state?
Yes. Nationwide collection capability can simplify recovery when a Montana company’s customer or debtor is located in another state, subject to applicable collection requirements.
Does NexaCollect report accounts to credit bureaus?
Credit reporting may be available for eligible accounts when permitted under applicable laws and credit bureau policies. Medical debt requires additional care because applicable reporting requirements and bureau policies can differ.
What documents should I provide to start collections?
Useful documentation includes accurate debtor contact information, invoices, statements, contracts or agreements, payment history, and records of previous collection attempts. Complete documentation helps a collection agency evaluate and work the account efficiently.
