Boots on the ground. No quit.
The difference between an agency that recovers and one that just bills you is what happens after the easy calls stop working.
Before we make a single call, we know who we're dealing with — their assets, their banking, their pressure points. Skip tracing and asset investigation turn a dead file into a recoverable one.
Letters get ignored. Voicemails get deleted. We put a professional on the ground at the debtor's place of business — because nothing concentrates the mind like a collector standing in the lobby.
From first contact to legal enforcement, your account never gets handed off and forgotten. One team, one strategy, relentless follow-through until the money moves.
The difference between most collection agencies and us.

Alexander, Strauss & Associates
Every tool. Every tactic. No excuses.
Field visits to debtor businesses. In-person pressure that phone-only agencies can't apply.
We locate evasive debtors and map the assets, accounts, and income that make recovery real.
When voluntary payment fails, our attorney network pursues judgments, liens, and garnishment.
Trained negotiators who understand leverage and resolve accounts without burning the relationship.
B2B receivables, unpaid invoices, breached contracts, and aged debt across every industry.
We work on contingency. If we don't collect, you don't pay. Our incentive is your money back.
The clock is working against you
The longer an invoice goes unpaid, the colder the trail and the lower your odds. Money you wait on is money you may never see.
Texas gives roughly four years to sue on most commercial debt — and lien rights can expire in months, not years. Miss the window and the leverage is gone.
Fast placement means we pursue while the assets are still there and the debtor still has something to lose.

About the firmFAQ
A commercial debt collection agency recovers unpaid business-to-business debt on behalf of the creditor — unpaid invoices, defaulted contracts, and aged receivables owed by one business to another. Unlike consumer collections, commercial (B2B) debt isn't governed by the FDCPA's consumer rules. Alexander, Strauss & Associates is a Dallas-based commercial collection agency serving businesses across Texas and nationwide, and we work on contingency — no recovery, no fee.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — no retainer, no monthly fee. If we don't collect, you don't pay. Our fee comes out of what we recover, so our incentive is the same as yours.
Commercial, business-to-business debt only: unpaid invoices, breached contracts, defaulted notes, judgments, and aged receivables. We do not handle consumer or patient collections — commercial debt isn't governed by the consumer rules, and that works in your favor.
As soon as it's clearly past due. The longer a debt ages, the colder the trail and the lower the odds of full recovery — and lien rights and statute-of-limitations deadlines can expire. Early placement gives us the most leverage.
Yes. We're based in Dallas and pursue commercial accounts nationwide through our network of collection attorneys, enforcing in the debtor's own jurisdiction when legal action is warranted.
The invoice or contract, the amount owed, and what you know about the debtor. A few minutes of intake is enough for us to assess whether and how we'd pursue it.
Every contact is professional and documented. Where a relationship is worth preserving, we resolve the account through negotiation; where the customer has simply stopped paying, we escalate as far as it takes.
Tell us what you're owed and we'll tell you exactly how we'll get it back. The review is free, and you pay nothing unless we collect.
