Houston's Commercial Debt Collection Agency

Aggressive Recovery. Professional Results.

Nelson, Cooper & Ortiz is a licensed commercial debt collection agency headquartered in Houston, Texas. With over 75 years of combined experience, we have helped businesses across the Houston metro area — and throughout all 50 states — recover past-due B2B receivables through professional, compliant, and results-driven collection strategies.

Unlike consumer collection agencies, we focus exclusively on commercial (business-to-business) debt. Whether you are owed $5,000 or $5 million, our team pursues every account with the same level of urgency and professionalism. We are fully bonded, ACA International members, and carry an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Our Collection Services

Full-Service Commercial Debt Collection

Demand Letter Campaigns

Professionally drafted demand letters sent on agency letterhead, creating urgency and establishing a paper trail for potential escalation.

Direct Debtor Negotiation

Our collectors engage debtors directly by phone and written correspondence to negotiate payment in full or structured settlement arrangements.

Skip Tracing

When debtors go dark, our investigators locate updated contact information, business addresses, and assets to resume collection efforts.

Pre-Litigation Mediation

Before recommending legal action, we attempt structured mediation — often resolving disputes faster and at lower cost than litigation.

Accounts Receivable Management

Proactive AR management to reduce aging balances, improve cash flow, and prevent accounts from reaching the collection stage.

International Debt Recovery

Cross-border B2B collection for Houston exporters and multinational businesses owed money by foreign companies.
