About Collection Kings
Redefining commercial collections through proven ethical practices.
Our Mission
Prove that ethical, psychologically intelligent collection practices don't just work — they outperform aggressive tactics. And then teach the industry how to do the same.
We're building a new standard for the collections industry: one where authenticity beats aggression, psychology beats pressure, and results speak louder than reputation damage.
Here's Why We're Different:
Typical debt collectors burn bridges and use your debtors as a means to earn income. They extract, intimidate, and disappear.
We partner with our debtors. We offer a mixed bag of solutions: lending options, educational tools, payment plans — whatever it takes to find a real solution.

Built on 20+ Years of Proven Results
Collection Kings is the parent brand for Alexander Strauss & Associates (ASA), a commercial collections agency founded and led by Chris, a 20-year industry veteran and majority owner.
ASA has recovered millions in commercial debt across diverse industries — from small businesses with $5,000 invoices to large enterprises with six-figure receivables. Our approach has always been different: we build trust, not fear.
Collection Kings was created to share those proven strategies with the broader industry through education, training, and thought leadership.
