BARR Credit Services Acquires United Commercial Collections

BARR Credit Services Inc. recently acquired Buffalo-based United Commercial Collections (UCC). BARR Credit is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, and operates a second location in Kansas City, Missouri.

In announcing the acquisition, BARR CEO Randy Frazee said, “BARR Credit Services is honored to acquire United Commercial Collections. UCC has developed trusted relationships with many long-term clients. We at BARR Credit Services hope to build on this trust by providing outstanding customer service to UCC clients.”

BARR Credit Services manages credit and collections for both domestic and international businesses.

BARR Credit Services was formed in 2016 by the merger of two successful commercial collection agencies, The Bessenbacher Company and Anderson Randall & Richards. But their story began way before that — in 1933. They’ve been providing B2B accounts receivable solutions for 90 years and certified by the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA).

In addition to third-party debt recovery services, BARR Credit Services, offers first‑party A/R outsourcing, international debt recovery, A/R training, and education. All their collection professionals are certified by the International Association of Commercial Collections (IACC).
