Collection Agency for Small Business in Texas
Running a small business in Texas is hard work. You have customers to manage, payroll to meet, and a reputation to protect. The last thing you need is unpaid invoices slowing you down. At HF Holdings, Inc., we know how frustrating it is when a client ghost's you after the job is done. Whether you are a contractor in Plano or run a medical practice in Sugar Land, unpaid bills hurt your cash flow. We are here to help you fix that. We act as an extension of your office, tracking down payments so you can focus on running your company. Your account is backed by our national small business collection services, so Texas businesses get the reach of a nationwide agency.
We serve businesses throughout Harris County, Dallas County, and Tarrant County, including Irving, Arlington, Garland, Grand Prairie, Richardson, Carrollton, Mesquite, Pasadena, Pearland, Baytown, Katy, Missouri City, Stafford, and La Porte.
When you choose HF Holdings, Inc., you are choosing a partner that understands local needs. Many collection agencies just send automated letters and hope for the best. We don't do that. We use a hands-on approach to recover what you are owed. Since we started in 2012, we have helped business owners recover funds while keeping their customer relationships intact. We know that in a tight-knit community, your good name means everything. That is why we treat your customers with respect while being firm about your payment.
Our model is simple and risk-free for your business. We work on a "No Recovery, No Fee" basis. This means you do not pay us a dime unless we collect your money. We only get paid when you get paid. This aligns our goals with yours. We are motivated to get results fast because our success depends on it. You don't have to worry about throwing good money after bad. If we can't recover your debt, you don't owe us any fees. It is that straightforward.
Dealing with legal rules in Texas can be tricky. Texas has specific laws about what creditors can and cannot do. If you make a mistake, you could end up in trouble. We handle all compliance for you. We follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and state regulations strictly. If a debtor refuses to pay and moves to another city or hides assets, we have the tools to find them. Our advanced skip-tracing technology helps us locate people who have skipped town, even if they leave the state.
Sometimes, a friendly reminder isn't enough. If a debtor still won't pay, we have a network of attorneys ready to step in. We can escalate the case to legal action if you decide that is the best path. We handle commercial debt, medical bills, utility accounts, and even bad checks. You don't need to hire different companies for different problems. We handle it all under one roof. Our goal is to get your money back in your pocket as quickly as possible.
Don't let unpaid invoices sit around and lose value. The longer you wait, the harder it is to collect. We have a 4.2-star rating on Google because we deliver results. Dave G., a Fractional CFO from Texas, said, "I REALLY appreciate the way HF Holdings handles collections for my clients. It's rare that I don't receive a phone call related to the claims I send to HF soon after they're submitted." Join the other Texas business owners who trust us to protect their bottom line.
Get You Free Quote TodayHow long do you have to collect a past due invoice in Texas?
Four years, in most cases. Texas gives you four years to sue on a written contract and on an open account, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 16.004. Invoices for goods sold can run shorter under the Uniform Commercial Code, so the type of deal matters. Once the window closes, the debtor can raise it as a defense, and a judge will throw the case out no matter how clearly the money is owed.
So we check that date first, against the statute of limitations and the paperwork you send us, before we spend a dollar of your time chasing it. Waiting is the part that quietly costs you. An oilfield services vendor in the Permian Basin or a freight broker working the I-35 corridor out of Dallas has more leverage on a ninety day old invoice than on a three year old one. Every month the debtor gets to move money, change banks, or wind the business down is a month working against you.
What happens when a Texas debtor refuses to pay?
Texas is different from most states, and at first glance it favors the debtor. The Texas Constitution bars garnishing wages for ordinary business debts, so chasing a paycheck is off the table here. That is exactly why experience matters. Once you hold a judgment, the tools that do work are a bank garnishment that reaches funds already on deposit, an abstract of judgment that puts a lien on the debtor's real property in that county, a writ of execution on non exempt property, and a turnover order to reach assets like accounts receivable.
We verify the debt, skip trace the debtor, work the account, and escalate to an affiliate attorney in the debtor's Texas jurisdiction when it comes to that, then handle the judgment collection and recovery after a win. Texas also requires third party collectors to post a surety bond on file with the Secretary of State under the Texas Debt Collection Act, so this is not work to hand to an outfit that cannot meet the state's basic requirements. Every call and letter is documented, which keeps you protected if a debtor later looks for a reason to push back.
