debt collection agency louisiana
Louisiana powers its economy with oil & gas, petrochemicals, and refining along the Mississippi River corridor and Gulf Coast, ports and maritime logistics (Port of New Orleans, Port of South Louisiana, Batonne Rouge), seafood, agriculture (sugarcane, rice, crawfish), tourism and hospitality in New Orleans and along the bayous, manufacturing (steel, paper, aerospace in Shreveport and Lake Charles), healthcare and higher education in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, and film/production incentives statewide. When invoices go unpaid—often with vendors in TX, MS, AR, FL, or international energy partners—cash flow gets complicated fast in a state where projects run long and relationships matter.
Key Debt Recovery provides Louisiana 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 Louisiana parish. Get paid what you’re owed without damaging your reputation in close-knit energy, maritime, and hospitality circles.

Louisiana offers one of the most creditor-friendly “open account” statutes in the nation (La. R.S. 9:2781)—a three-year statute of limitations with the possibility of attorney fees (up to 33⅓%) if a proper demand letter is sent. Written contracts enjoy 10 years of liberative prescription. This combination gives Louisiana businesses powerful leverage when professional collection begins early. The state also follows the FDCPA while adding its own consumer protections, so partnering with an agency that knows both federal and Louisiana-specific rules—like Key Debt Recovery—ensures every effort stays effective, ethical, and fully compliant.
