debt collection agency michigan
Michigan’s economy is powered by automotive and mobility manufacturing (OEMs, Tier 1–3 suppliers) in Detroit, Warren, Auburn Hills, Grand Rapids, and Lansing, furniture and office systems in West Michigan (Steelcase, Herman Miller), agriculture (cherries, apples, blueberries, corn, soy) across the state, food processing in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, defense and aerospace in Sterling Heights and Macomb County, healthcare and medical devices in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids, and tourism in Traverse City, Mackinac Island, and the Upper Peninsula. When invoices go unpaid—often with suppliers in OH, IN, IL, Ontario, or global auto chains—cash flow stalls fast in a state where just-in-time supply chains leave no room for slow pays.
Key Debt Recovery provides Michigan 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 Michigan venue. Get paid what you’re owed without damaging relationships or your reputation.
Statewide coverage: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, Kalamazoo, Troy, Farmington Hills, Dearborn, Livonia, Traverse City, Muskegon, Battle Creek, Saginaw, Holland, Marquette, and beyond.

In Michigan, written contracts carry a six-year statute of limitations (MCL 600.5807(9)), giving businesses solid time to pursue most commercial and automotive-related debts—especially valuable for long tool-build and validation cycles. Michigan also enforces strict licensing and bonding for collection agencies under the Occupational Code (Act 70 of 1974), plus strong consumer protections, so partnering with a compliant, Michigan-savvy agency like Key Debt Recovery ensures every collection effort stays effective, ethical, and fully within both federal FDCPA and Michigan law.
