A filing deadline depends on the claim, agreement, and applicable exceptions. These summaries do not determine the deadline for an individual account.

At Midwest Service Bureau (MSB), we offer debt collection in Arizona. We bring a working knowledge of Arizona-specific debt collection laws to help businesses, healthcare providers, and government agencies recover unpaid debts legally, ethically, and efficiently.

Our approach focuses on compliance with federal and state regulations. Whether you operate in Phoenix, Tucson, or Flagstaff, MSB provides customized, professional debt collection in Arizona.

Arizona has clear time limits for filing lawsuits to collect different types of debt. These statutes of limitations affect the legal enforceability of debts:

At MSB, we monitor all case timelines closely to ensure actions are taken within these deadlines.

Arizona requires collection agencies to hold a license from the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (A.R.S. § 32-1021), and all debt collectors must comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This federal law protects consumers from harassment, false statements, and unfair practices.

Additionally, Arizona’s Consumer Fraud Act and the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) further regulate how collections are reported and communicated.

MSB offers a full suite of Arizona debt collection services.

Our debt recovery solutions focus on recovering overdue accounts using multi-channel communication and skip tracing. We handle both consumer and commercial collections across Arizona.

MSB supports a wide range of Arizona businesses and institutions, including:

Arizona allows 6 years for written contracts executed in Arizona, promissory notes and credit cards (A.R.S. § 12-548), 4 years for written contracts executed outside Arizona (A.R.S. § 12-544), and 3 years for oral agreements and open accounts (A.R.S. § 12-543).
