DENVER - July 27, 2020 - As part of the Department of Personnel and Administration, Central Collections Services (CCS) has historically worked with both State and Federal authorities to provide revenue recovery services and comprehensive support for Colorado State Agencies, Departments, Statewide Judicial Districts, Corrections, Political Subdivisions, as well as Institutions of Higher Education. Over time, the environment in which Central Collections Services operates has changed significantly. With a declining client base and reduction in overall debt quality, a centralized model for debt collection has proven economically unsustainable. After much deliberation, it was determined that Central Collections Services would discontinue operations in July 2020.

At the close of business July 28, 2020, the CCS payment portal will be closed. Further information about the closure is available at the Office of the State Controller's website.
