ABOUT SOUTHWEST RECOVERY SERVICES

What We Do

Southwest Recovery Services is a nationally recognized debt collection and accounts receivable management firm headquartered in Addison, Texas, with offices in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Colorado. We have worked with businesses of every size since 2004: solo medical practices, enterprise commercial creditors, everything in between.

We operate across first-party collections, third-party collections, revenue cycle management, skip tracing, and asset location. Every service line runs on the same data infrastructure: two decades of recovery patterns across Dallas-Fort Worth and seven states. Before we dial a number, we score accounts for contact probability. We sequence outreach based on what the data says about timing, channel, and balance size. Recovery rates are consistently higher than what manual processes produce.

Technology is the multiplier. The client relationship is the constant.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Steven Dietz

Steven Dietz founded Southwest Recovery Services in Addison in 2004. He has spent more than 20 years in financial services and debt recovery, building the company from a single Dallas office into a nationally recognized firm with 12 offices across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Colorado.

Under his leadership, Southwest Recovery developed a data-powered recovery platform covering commercial, consumer, healthcare, and government accounts, all under full FDCPA, CFPB, FCRA, and HIPAA compliance. That platform is what separates SWRS from agencies that still run manual dialing queues off spreadsheets.

First account or large portfolio, our team walks you through every step. New clients can access our client training resources to understand the submission process, reporting, and what to expect from placement to resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Southwest Recovery Services

Southwest Recovery Services was founded in Addison, Texas in 2004. We have been working commercial and consumer collections for over 20 years across Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, and Colorado. Most of our clients come to us through referrals. That track record spans two decades of delivering results without shortcuts.

Yes. Southwest Recovery Services holds all licensing and bonding required in every state where we operate — Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Ohio. We comply with the FDCPA, CFPB guidelines, FCRA, HIPAA, and applicable Federal Bankruptcy Laws on every account we work.

We work commercial and consumer collections across 10 industry verticals: commercial B2B, consumer, property management, medical and healthcare, oil and gas, automotive finance, insurance subrogation, government and municipality, logistics and transportation, and utilities.

Nothing upfront. Southwest Recovery operates on a contingency basis. We collect a percentage of what we actually recover. Fees typically range from 18% to 45% depending on account age, debt type, and portfolio size. Older or harder-to-recover accounts carry higher rates to reflect the additional work required. If we do not collect, you pay nothing. No retainers, no monthly minimums, no setup fees.

Yes. We serve businesses of every size, from solo medical practices and single-location contractors to enterprise commercial creditors managing large portfolios. If you are owed money and have exhausted internal collection efforts, we can take your accounts regardless of volume.

Yes. We comply with the FDCPA, CFPB guidelines, FCRA, HIPAA for healthcare accounts, TCPA for all phone contacts, and Federal Bankruptcy Laws on every account. Compliance is enforced at the data layer before any outreach begins — not as a manual review step.

You can place accounts through our online client portal at portal.swrecovery.com, via direct API integration with your CRM or property management platform, by FTP, or through the Place an Account form on our website. Most clients are active and placing accounts within 24 to 48 hours of initial setup. If your system does not support a standard API connection, we will build a custom integration at no charge.

Initial outreach begins within 24 hours of account submission and enrichment. Recovery timelines vary based on account age, debtor financial profile, and balance size. Clients have real-time visibility into every account through the SWRS client portal at all times — no waiting on monthly reports.

Accounts that do not resolve through standard collections are evaluated by CollectWise for legal viability. If litigation is appropriate, we coordinate with our legal network. Accounts with no viable recovery path are closed at no charge to the client.

Yes. We handle B2B commercial debt, consumer debt recovery, healthcare patient balances, rent and lease delinquencies, and early-out pre-collection programs. Each service line operates under the appropriate compliance framework for that account type.

In many cases, yes. Commercial accounts can often be pursued based on invoices, purchase orders, emails confirming the transaction, or established course of dealing. A signed contract strengthens the claim but is not always required. We evaluate documentation on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Southwest Recovery Services reports to Experian, Equifax, and Dun & Bradstreet as part of our standard collections platform. Integrated credit reporting is included at no additional charge.

Southwest Recovery Services has 12 offices across Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Ohio. Through our national collections network we can pursue debtors in all 50 states. Southwest Recovery Services does not do business in Oregon or Washington.

Our recovery platform integrates Experian data intelligence and Collection Triggers, Aktos workflow automation, Skit.ai voice AI, TCN predictive dialing, CollectWise legal intelligence, and Amazon SES for email — processing over 400,000 calls per week. Every account is scored and routed by data before the first contact attempt.

Three things separate Southwest Recovery Services: a compliance-first process enforced at the data layer before any outreach begins, an AI-driven recovery platform that most agencies do not operate, and 20+ years of regional recovery data informing every placement decision. We work on contingency with no upfront fees, provide real-time portal access on every account, and build custom API integrations with client systems at no charge. Most of our clients come to us through referrals.
