About Massachusetts Commercial Collections Agency · Boston
Massachusetts Commercial Collections Agency is the Boston-area brand page of Mesa Revenue Partners (MRP), a privately held commercial debt collection agency founded in 1976 (formerly known as Commercial Collections of America). Headquartered operationally in Mesa, Arizona, MRP serves business clients in Massachusetts and across the United States, recovering unpaid B2B invoices, pursuing litigation when necessary, and running asset and credit investigations. The Massachusetts agency is licensed throughout the U.S. and abroad, holds CLLA certification and IACC endorsement, and operates on a contingency basis — clients pay nothing unless money is recovered.
Massachusetts Commercial Collections Agency operates as the regional Boston/Massachusetts identity of Mesa Revenue Partners, a commercial collections firm with roots going back to 1976 when the company was founded as Commercial Collections of America. After more than four decades in the corporate receivables business, the firm rebranded as Mesa Revenue Partners and in 2016 entered a strategic partnership with Altus Receivables Management (Altus GTS), giving it nationwide attorney coverage, international collections reach, and SSAE 16 Type II certified accounting practices. MRP's Massachusetts office is licensed throughout the United States and abroad, certified by the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA), and endorsed by the International Association of Commercial Collectors (IACC). The firm serves companies of all sizes and industries — from small local operations to Fortune 100 firms — recovering unpaid commercial invoices, performing business credit reports and commercial background checks, conducting corporate asset and liability investigations, and escalating to commercial collections litigation when cooperative collection methods fail. A defining feature of the practice is its contingency pricing: clients pay nothing unless MRP successfully recovers the debt. The firm emphasizes a tailored, 'blank slate' approach to each account, with typical collection cycles running 30–120 days depending on debt size, debtor location, and method required. Massachusetts consumers should note the agency's work is strictly commercial (B2B) — it does not handle consumer debt — and Massachusetts has a 6-year statute of limitations on most written/oral contract debt (extendable to 20 years on judgments).

Commercial Collections Services
MRP's core offering is B2B (business-to-business) debt recovery — unpaid invoices owed to one business by another. Every account is reviewed individually, and collection strategies range from cooperative outreach and demand letters through to litigation. A typical commercial collection cycle runs 30 to 120 days depending on the size of the debt, the number of debtors, the location of those debtors, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Clients receive a free accounts aging analysis to identify where revenue is leaking, and access to a live online portal with progress notes.
- 1st Party Outsourcing (in-house-style soft collections)
- 3rd Party Collections (demand-letter and skip-trace phase)
- Contingency fee — no recovery, no fee
- Free accounts aging analysis
- Live online status portal
Commercial Collections Litigation
When standard collection methods stall — usually because the debtor is unresponsive or actively evasive — MRP is qualified to escalate to commercial collections litigation. The firm maintains relationships with commercial collection attorneys in every U.S. state and many foreign jurisdictions. Notably, MRP's principals include a practicing collection attorney (James Landon, licensed since 1999, University of Arizona College of Law, Cum Laude 1996), which is rare among agencies of its size.
- Attorney-monitored collections
- Litigation only pursued when high probability of both judgment and collection
- James Landon — partner, practicing collection attorney since 1999
- U.S.-wide attorney network
Asset and Background Investigations
For debtors suspected of hiding assets to avoid payment, MRP runs corporate asset and liability investigations to surface recoverable property. The firm also produces business credit reports and commercial background checks on prospective customers or partners — services that businesses often use proactively to vet new B2B relationships before extending credit.
- Corporate Asset & Liability Investigations
- Business Credit Reports
- Commercial Background Checks
International Commercial Collections
Beyond U.S. borders, MRP and its Altus GTS affiliate pursue commercial debt owed to American businesses by foreign customers. The firm uses an established international network of collection attorneys and partner agencies to chase receivables overseas, with the same contingency pricing model that applies domestically.
- Worldwide attorney and agency connections
- Same contingency pricing as domestic work
- International debt recovery litigation when needed
Leadership Team
Mesa Revenue Partners is led by a small, experienced management team, several of whom are co-founders or longtime collection-industry veterans. The team includes a practicing attorney, a co-founder focused on client relationships, and a CFO with a public-accounting background — unusual depth for an agency of its size.
- James Landon — Partner & Retired Collection Attorney; practicing since 1999; University of Arizona College of Law, Cum Laude 1996
- Tom Priestley — Co-Founder & Vice President; 15+ years in commercial collections; works with clients from small operations to Fortune 100 companies; coaches junior-high and high-school baseball

Massachusetts Debt Collection Laws and FAQ
MRP's Massachusetts page highlights key state-law information that businesses should know before turning over an account. Most importantly, the Massachusetts statute of limitations on consumer-related debt (credit card debt, oral contracts, written contracts) is 6 years, after which a debt cannot be sent to collections — but if the collector has obtained a judgment, the statute extends to 20 years. Specific cases should always be reviewed with a collections attorney.
- Massachusetts SOL for consumer debt: 6 years (credit card, oral, written contracts)
- Judgment-extended SOL: 20 years
- Typical commercial collection cycle: 30–120 days
- Process begins cooperatively, escalates to litigation only when needed
Pricing, Client Experience, and Reputation
MRP's headline value proposition is contingency pricing — there is no retainer and no fee unless the firm actually collects. The agency publishes client testimonials on its Massachusetts page praising its transparency, communication, and turnaround, and self-describes as carrying five-star ratings on Google and Yelp. Past clients cited in reviews report recovering in full on invoices 9–12 months old that had previously gone uncollected, and call out specific team members (Tom Priestley is mentioned by name) for accessibility and persistence.
