About us - Philosophy

OUR MISSION is to provide maximum return by striving for quality, innovation, and value while treating everyone with the utmost respect and dignity. WE BELIEVE that your customer, having not paid you as anticipated and agreed, should now be required to pay the balance in full. We always request balance in full from your customer on first contact. PAYMENT PLANS are offered as an alternative to payment in full. Our collection staff is trained to determine the best process necessary to obtain payments of your accounts. Our aim is to secure the best plan for recovery for your offices. SETTLEMENTS are your decision, not ours. It’s your money! Only YOU can determine if a settlement of the amount due is in your best interest. We will never settle the amount due without your express permission. We will present you with all of the known facts that our collection staff has gathered so that you can make the best decision for you. CONTACT by phone is a priority in our agency. We believe the best way to resolve the balance due is to engage your customer in conversation. If we can’t reach them by phone, your account goes to our Skip Department to obtain additional information so we can contact your customer and get you payment. ACCOUNTABILITY is the foundation for resolution of the file. We expect a specific date and time commitment from your customer. If your customer fails to honor the commitment, we will make attempts to contact them again. Often your customer feels it is easier to defer our demands back to your office personnel rather than work with our office. Our collection staff has been trained to insist upon a commitment from your customer to resolve your file. If we cannot reach an acceptable resolution, we may recommend a suit against your customer. DISTRIBUTION of letters is in compliance with state and federal laws by a validation notice being sent to your customer within 24 hours of receiving your referral. This letter informs your customer of their rights regarding the debt. Additional mailings are sent as a when attempts to reach your customer have been unsuccessful.

Center for Same Day Surgery
Midwest Service Bureau is a company that truly looks out for the greater good of their client. They want to see their clients thrive, even if that means they do not make a profit. Any time I have ever had a question I call Midwest and they have the answer. Any time I have needed advice they have been there for me and have guided me through the process. Their customer service is outstanding and their work ethic is even better! I couldn’t imagine a time when I wouldn’t need them.
Advanced/Preferred Physical Therapy
The team at Midwest Service Bureau has earned our trust for over 10 years based on their service, results, performance, and rates and that’s why they will continue to receive all our collection business. They deliver excellent customer service with quick responses, unlimited willingness to lend their assistance, ethical work values, and even training seminars that provide us with other processes and tools to reduce our collections activity. On top of that, I enjoy the relationships I have made with the people of MSB over the years. I have no reservation in recommending Midwest Service Bureau to others.
Earnest Heat & Air, Inc.
We have been doing business with Midwest Service Bureau for a while now. They have an extremely high recovery rate. They are always right on top of things, and get the job done. We have other credit services calling us but, we always tell them that we are happy with who we are using. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
Inspire ENT & Pulmonology
Our office has had a great experience with Midwest Service Bureau. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, always available to answer questions. Our representative comes into our office once a month to check in and see how things are going for us. If we have any questions or issues they take the time to get them resolved. Midwest also offers training for the staff. We did take advantage of this opportunity and it was very helpful to the staff members that had no previous experience with collections. Through the training, the front office staff learned what information they should be gathering and the importance of it. I would highly recommend Midwest Service Bureau if you are looking for a collection agency.
Debbie P. Collection Manager
I have been employed with Sunflower Bank for over 20 years as the collection manager, and during that time have dealt with Midwest Service Bureau, LLC regarding collection accounts to include credit cards, loans, and deposit accounts. I have also dealt with them prior to coming to Sunflower Bank when I worked for GMAC out of Wichita, KS for roughly ten years. Micki Kell who is the President of this organization and her staff have provided wonderful customer service the entire time. A representative from the organization always contacted us in person once a month, and the face-to-face contact was always greatly appreciated. Their staff was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we had. Their software program was very user friendly and make it an easy way to communicate regarding accounts. I would definitely recommend this organization if you are looking for a company to handle your collection accounts.
