The location, at 5959 Corporate Drive, will close on Sept. 27, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act letter filed with the Texas Workforce Commission.

The affected employees are not represented by a union, but almost all of them have the opportunity to relocate to the company?s other U.S. locations, according to the letter.

The company was not immediately available for comment. Pentagroup Financial is a CBV Collections Services company.

Terms of the deal, which were to go into effect in March, were not disclosed.

In addition to Phoenix, Primary Financial Services also has a location in Amherst, N.Y., according to its website.
