Our 4-Step Process: Control & Flexibility
You decide how far to go.
-
Step 1: First-Party Outreach ($15): We act as your internal team, sending professional reminders under your brand.
-
Step 2: Third-Party Demands ($15): We escalate respectfully as a third party, applying more pressure.
-
Step 3: Contingency (40%): If Steps 1 & 2 don’t work, we move to a traditional model. We only get paid if you do.

Step 4: Legal Forwarding (50%): For the most difficult accounts, we can manage the legal process.
Most of our clients use a powerful combination: Step 2 (Third-Party Demands) followed by Step 3 (Contingency). This hybrid approach gets results without the immediate high cost.

How We Helped a Reno Service Company
A local Reno B2B service provider was losing thousands to a traditional agency that charged a high flat contingency fee, even on small accounts. They felt stuck. By switching to our Step 2 + Step 3 model, they immediately cut their recovery costs. We successfully resolved over 50% of their delinquent accounts within the $15 fixed-fee step, saving their customer relationships and adding thousands back to their bottom line before ever needing to use contingency.
Navigating Nevada’s Collection Landscape
We understand Nevada’s specific regulations (NRS 649). This includes rules on communication, statute of limitations (often 6 years for written contracts), and consumer protections. We handle the compliance details so you can focus on your business, whether you’re near the Truckee River or downtown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Reno medical provider send a patient balance to a collection agency as soon as it becomes overdue?
Not under Nevada’s current medical-debt rules.
Effective January 1, 2026, transferring or selling covered medical debt to a collection agency is considered an extraordinary collection action. Nevada generally prohibits that action until at least 180 days after the first medical bill was sent to the consumer.
At least 30 days before an extraordinary collection action, the required notice must also be provided. Nevada collection agencies have an additional rule requiring a 60-day medical-debt notification before taking collection action after an account is assigned.
For Reno healthcare organizations, that makes account timing, financial-assistance screening, insurance resolution, and documentation especially important.
Nexa’s medical collection services use HIPAA-compliant, reputation-safe workflows designed to recover legitimate balances without unnecessarily damaging patient relationships.
How can a Reno business check whether a collection agency is properly authorized in Nevada?
Nevada collection agencies are regulated through the Nevada Financial Institutions Division.
An applicant for a Nevada collection-agency license generally must provide a $35,000 bond or approved substitute security. Depending on the agency’s average monthly trust-account balance, the required bond can increase to $40,000, $50,000, or $60,000.
Nevada also provides a collection-agency license lookup, giving Reno creditors a practical way to perform due diligence before transferring customer accounts.
Licensing is only one part of the decision. Medical practices, schools, contractors, CPAs, and businesses should also evaluate security controls, industry expertise, reporting, complaint handling, and whether the agency uses a reputation-safe collection approach.

Does every unpaid Reno invoice get six years for collection under Nevada law?
No. The documentation behind the debt matters.
Nevada generally provides six years for an action based on a contract, obligation, or liability founded on a written instrument.
But an open account for goods, or an obligation that is not based on a written instrument, generally carries a four-year limitation period.
There is another important Nevada detail: a qualifying payment toward principal or interest after an obligation becomes due can cause the limitation period to run from the date of the last payment.
That makes contracts, purchase orders, account statements, invoices, payment history, and written acknowledgments particularly important for aging commercial accounts.
For unpaid business receivables, see Nexa’s commercial B2B collection services.
How quickly can a Reno contractor lose Nevada mechanics-lien rights?
Faster than many contractors expect.
Nevada generally requires a qualifying lien claimant to record a notice of lien within 90 days after the latest of:
- completion of the improvement,
- the claimant’s last delivery of materials or equipment, or
- the claimant’s last performance of work.
But if a valid Notice of Completion is properly recorded and served, the deadline can shrink to just 40 days after the notice is recorded.
That means months of informal follow-up can be risky. Collection negotiations and mechanics-lien rights are separate tools, and pursuing payment through collections does not automatically preserve a contractor’s lien deadline.
Nexa’s contractor collection service can pursue documented balances while the contractor separately evaluates any Nevada lien rights that may apply.
Should a Reno property manager send move-out charges to collections before reconciling the security deposit?
The account should generally be reconciled first.
Nevada requires a residential landlord to provide an itemized written accounting of the security deposit and return any remaining portion no later than 30 days after termination of the tenancy.
Permitted deductions can include qualifying unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear, and reasonable cleaning costs.
For a later collection placement, the strongest file usually includes the lease, rent ledger, move-in and move-out documentation, photographs, repair invoices, cleaning charges, security-deposit accounting, and the final amount still owed.
That documentation can be particularly valuable in Reno’s active rental market, where former tenants may relocate elsewhere in Nevada or across state lines.
See Nexa’s landlord and property management collection services.
What should a Reno logistics or advanced-manufacturing company send with a disputed B2B account?
For Reno’s logistics, distribution, and manufacturing companies, an invoice by itself may not be enough.
A strong commercial collection package can include the master agreement, purchase order, statement of work, invoices, bills of lading, proof of delivery, receiving confirmations, change orders, quality-control records, freight documentation, customer approvals, prior payment history, and the debtor’s written explanation for withholding payment.
That documentation helps determine whether the issue is a legitimate performance dispute, a procurement problem, an AP delay, or simply a refusal to pay.
This is particularly relevant in the Reno region, where logistics, warehousing, technology, and advanced manufacturing have become significant parts of the local economy.
Nexa’s commercial B2B collection service uses documentation-first negotiation while keeping communication professional and reputation-safe.
How does Nevada NRS 649 regulate medical vs. commercial debt collection?
Medical Debt (Strict Consumer Rules – SB 248):
-
60-Day Notice: Requires a written pre-collection notice with 60 days of zero collection activity or credit bureau reporting.
-
Fee Caps: Recovery fees are legally capped at 5% of the principal medical debt.
-
No Clock Reset: Voluntary payments during the grace period do not restart the statute of limitations.
Commercial / B2B Debt:
-
Licensing & Manager: Agencies must hold an NFID license and employ a state-certified Compliance Manager.
-
Trust Accounts: Collected business funds must be segregated into approved trust accounts with prompt accounting.
-
Statute of Limitations: 6 years for written agreements; 4 years for open accounts.
