Pricing (Fast, Simple, No Surprises)

Fixed-Fee Recovery: $15 — you keep 100% of what’s collected
Contingency Recovery: 40% — no recovery, no fee

When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses. Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate — earlier you assign, better recovery results are delivered using our most amicable strategies. Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy).

Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.

Money saver tip: Most of our clients are able to get our fixed-fee service for free by declaring it as a Business Expense on taxes, after consulting their CPA.

The Velvet Hammer Method: Why You Recover More by Cooperating

If you’ve ever tried to chase a past-due invoice yourself, you know how it usually goes:

  • One reminder feels polite

  • The second feels awkward

  • The third turns into a mini-argument

  • Then the debtor stops replying… and you’re stuck

The truth is: arguing makes people dig in.
Cooperative mediation makes them move.

We use a diplomatic style that is:

  • Firm enough to secure payment

  • Respectful & soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation

  • Clear enough that delay tactics stop working

We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from collecting debt from riskier people and situations that can backfire.

And yes — our recovery rates are way higher than industry average because we don’t rely on emotional pressure. We rely on clean facts, the right tone, and consistent follow-up that doesn’t cross lines.

Ambler Metaphor: Collections Should Run Like a Train Schedule

In Ambler, you can literally watch how things work: trains arrive, doors open, people move, the next stop happens.

Collections should feel like that too.

Not a debate. Not a tug-of-war.
A sequence:

  1. Clear outreach

  2. Two payment options

  3. A deadline

  4. Follow-through

  5. Closure

When debtors see structure, they stop testing boundaries and start choosing the easiest path: paying you.

Two Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe, Step-by-Step)

1) Medical Recovery — Ambler: $4,110 recovered without complaints

A medical office had a patient balance that aged out of internal reminders. Staff didn’t want awkward calls or negative reviews.
What happened (2–3 steps):

  1. We sent a respectful first notice offering two choices: pay in full or a short payment plan

  2. We confirmed contact accuracy before increasing pressure (no guessing, no spamming)

  3. We documented the plan and kept it on track with calm, timed follow-ups
    Outcome: Paid without escalation. No staff stress. No reputation fallout.

2) Business Recovery — Nearby (Fort Washington / Plymouth Meeting area): $23,870 recovered from “AP limbo”

A B2B invoice got trapped in approvals. The customer kept promising movement, but never gave a real date.
What happened (2–3 steps):

  1. We pinpointed the decision-maker and requested a specific pay date in writing

  2. We restated terms professionally and removed “confusion excuses” (PO, scope, invoice copy)

  3. We offered a short settlement window to close cleanly and move on
    Outcome: Funds recovered, relationship preserved, and the owner stopped wasting internal hours chasing “maybe.”

What Makes Ambler Accounts Different (And How We Use That)

Ambler has a unique mix: tight-knit downtown energy plus quick access to bigger business corridors.

We understand the collection patterns tied to:

  • Ambler Station commuter rhythm (people move fast, replies need to be efficient)

  • Butler Avenue / Downtown Ambler where reputation and repeat business matter

  • The Ambler Theater “marquee effect” — your brand is public even when your invoices are private

  • Temple University Ambler Campus and student-adjacent balances (fees, services, housing-related costs)

  • PA Route 309 connecting you to Fort Washington business parks and vendor networks

  • The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) corridor that creates multi-location debtors and layered approvals

  • Nearby creek/park communities around Wissahickon areas, where local reputation spreads quickly

This is exactly where Velvet Hammer works best: firm collection pressure that still feels human.

⚠️ Red Flag Box: 3 Collection Mistakes Ambler Businesses Make

1) Waiting until it feels personal (by then, the debtor has practiced ignoring you)
2) Letting invoice ping-pong continue (“send it again” is not a strategy)
3) Making your staff the bad cop (morale drops, and your business becomes the villain)

Note From the Account Reconciliation Team

We don’t “come in hot.” We come in smart.

We start respectful. We get clarity fast. We document everything.
And when it’s time to tighten the tone, we do it professionally — without threats, without embarrassment, without crossing boundaries.

Also: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors and reduce review-bomb risk.

Laws & Rules That Matter in Pennsylvania (Practical, Not Legal Advice)

We stay disciplined because sloppy collections create bigger problems than the original debt.

Key frameworks that commonly apply:

  • FDCPA + Regulation F: communication rules and limits on harassment-style contact

  • FCRA: governs credit reporting accuracy and dispute handling

  • TCPA: consent matters for calls/texts to mobile numbers

  • Pennsylvania FCEUA + UTPCPL: state-level guardrails against unfair or deceptive collection practices

  • Timing matters: many contract actions in PA commonly point to a four-year window, so older accounts can lose leverage

We also do USPS address checks, skip tracing, and bankruptcy checks to avoid wasted motion. Credit reporting is available if you choose and if permitted.
