Why Des Moines Businesses Are Ditching “Old School” Collections
Des Moines is the insurance capital of the Midwest, a city built on calculating risk and securing futures. From the corporate towers on Grand Avenue to the hip startups in the East Village, business here is sophisticated. Yet, when it comes to recovering unpaid invoices, too many local companies are still relying on outdated agencies that operate like it’s 1990.

The “Insurance Capital” Standard: Why We Are Different
You know that in Des Moines, reputation is currency. Whether you are in Valley Junction or out near Jordan Creek, you can’t afford a collection partner who harasses your neighbors.
We replaced the old “churn and burn” model with a system that prioritizes your equity:
-
Stop Paying 50% on Easy Accounts: Traditional agencies want a huge cut of everything. We believe you should keep 100% of the money that is easily recoverable.
-
Step 1 & 2 (The Flat-Fee Phase): For just $15 per account, we send official, third-party demands in our name. This professional nudge is often all it takes to clear a balance.
-
Step 3 (The Contingency Phase): If a debtor ignores our demands, we escalate to intensive calls and negotiation. We charge a 40% fee here, but only if we succeed.
-
Step 4 (The Legal Phase): For the rare cases that require a courtroom, our network of attorneys is ready (50% contingency).

Frequently Asked Questions (Des Moines)
Q: Are you familiar with the Iowa Consumer Credit Code (ICCC)?
A: Yes. Des Moines businesses operate under strict regulations, specifically Iowa Code Chapter 537. We are fully versed in these laws, which mirror and expand on federal protections. We ensure that every demand we make is compliant, shielding you from the liability that “cowboy” agencies can bring.
Q: What is the Statute of Limitations for debt in Iowa?
A: In Iowa, time matters. You generally have 10 years to sue on a written contract (common for B2B and loans) but only 5 years for open accounts (like unwritten agreements or credit cards). If you wait too long, your legal leverage evaporates.
Q: My debtors are spread out—some in Ankeny, some in West Des Moines. Is that a problem?
A: Not at all. We cover the entire metro area and beyond. We are licensed to collect in all 50 states, so even if your debtor moves to Omaha or Minneapolis, our recovery process follows them seamlessly.
Q: How do I know if my accounts are worth pursuing?
A: We take the guesswork out of it. We provide Free Litigious and Bankruptcy checks upfront. If a debtor has filed for Chapter 7 or is a known habitual litigant, we’ll tell you before you spend a dime.
