In 1948, Howard E. Stark and Hilding Haag founded and incorporated the collection agency now known as the The Stark Agency. For more than 60 years, Stark has been delivering exceptional service and high recovery rates to government agencies and businesses of every size and industry type throughout Wisconsin and the upper Midwest.

Current owner Pauline Kussart purchased The Stark Agency in 1998 and serves as the Agency’s President, managing the day-to-day operations.  Pauline is a recognized leader in the collections industry, serving in many leadership roles in both the Wisconsin Collectors Association and the American Collectors Association International professional organizations.

The Stark Agency serves clients in several industries – government, healthcare, retail, telecommunications, financial services and property management, and many others.   Our longevity in the collection industry is a testament to the results we provide to our clients.  While we have great pride in our history, we continue to evolve with the times, providing innovative products and services to meet our clients’ needs.
