debt collection agency iowa

Iowa’s economy is built on advanced manufacturing (ag equipment like John Deere, appliances, and food-processing machinery), agriculture (corn, soybeans, hogs, ethanol, and biofuels) across the state, insurance and financial services in Des Moines (the “Hartford of the West”), logistics and trucking along I-80 and I-35, renewable energy (wind farms and biodiesel), and healthcare/education in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. When invoices go unpaid—often with farmers, co-ops, manufacturers, or customers in IL, NE, MN, MO, SD, or WI—cash flow can stall quickly in a state where seasonal income and commodity prices rule.

Key Debt Recovery provides Iowa companies a straightforward, compliant route from account placement to recovery. We combine in-house skip tracing with professional, multi-channel contact, transparent reporting, and—only when the numbers justify it—escalation through licensed attorneys in the proper Iowa venue. Get paid what you’re owed without damaging relationships or your reputation.

Statewide coverage: Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, Iowa City, Waterloo, Council Bluffs, Ames, Dubuque, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Cedar Falls, Marion, Bettendorf, Mason City, Fort Dodge, Clinton, and beyond.

Debt Collection Agency iowa FAQs | Key Debt Recovery 

  • Yes. Workflows and compliance differ; we tailor cadence, documentation, and tone accordingly.

  • Only if the file warrants it and you approve in writing. When litigation is appropriate, we coordinate with licensed Iowa attorneys (or the correct state for cross-border matters). KDR is not a law firm.

  • Contracts/terms, invoices or statements, POs/work orders, proof of delivery/service, prior correspondence, and any promised-to-pay notes or disputes.

  • Placement/validation typically begin within 1 business day, with first contact attempts shortly thereafter, followed by clear 30/60/90-day reviews.

In Iowa, written contracts carry a strong 10-year statute of limitations (Iowa Code § 614.1(5))—one of the longest in the country—while oral contracts and open accounts have 5 years. This extended window is especially valuable for seasonal ag, equipment, and insurance-related debts. Iowa also enforces its own Debt Collection Practices Act that mirrors and sometimes exceeds the FDCPA, so partnering with an agency that knows both federal and Iowa-specific rules—like Key Debt Recovery—keeps every effort effective, ethical, and fully compliant.
