Why Baltimore Companies Move to Us
- More net back, less noise: start light with fixed-fee nudges on fresh balances, only escalate when needed.
- Brand-safe by default: polite, compliant conversations—firm when it counts, never abrasive.
- Cleaner files, fewer surprises: bankruptcy checks, litigious-debtor flags, and address hygiene included.
- Switching pays off: tighter timelines, clearer updates, and a cadence your finance team can trust.
How We Work (field-tested, traceable)
Practical guidance, not legal advice. We tailor to your facts and the latest rules.
- Place accounts in our secure portal (CSV/API/manual).
- Pick the entry step with our guidance (age, balance, dispute risk).
- We engage via respectful letters/calls and compliant digital where allowed.
- You get paid: Steps 1–2 route money straight to you; Step 3 is no recovery, no fee with clean remits.
Service Types & Pricing (start where it fits)
- Step 1 — First-Party Courtesy Reminders (Fixed-Fee)
Five friendly reminders for 0–60-day balances, sent as if from you. Typical fee: $15/account. - Step 2 — Third-Party Written Demands (Fixed-Fee)
Five professional letters; limited digital touches where permitted. Typical fee: $15/account. - Step 3 — Full Third-Party Collections (Contingency)
Polite phone + digital outreach, realistic plans, practical settlements. Typical fee: 40% (No recovery, No Fee). - Step 4 — Legal Collections (Contingency, client-approved)
Attorney escalation only after review; nominal filing fees initiated by you and reimbursed upon recovery. Typical fee: 50% (No recovery, No Fee).
Always included: bankruptcy screen, litigious-debtor check, latest-address check. Credit reporting available if you want and if law permits.
Pro tip: Don’t let accounts age—newer placements resolve faster and cheaper.
Baltimore Patterns That Matter (what we actually see)
- Health & education corridors (Hopkins/UMMS/UMB): reminder-tone Steps 1–2 clear many self-pay balances without drama.
- B2B & professional services (Harbor East, Pratt St., Downtown): older invoices respond when Step 3 pairs outreach with smaller, time-boxed installments.
- Property, memberships, and trades (Canton, Federal Hill, Towson, Columbia): steady month-over-month closes with brief, respectful follow-ups.

Maryland Collection Law — ultra-brief (what actually impacts you)
- Time to sue: many contract claims face a short general window (commonly about three years). Some “specialty” contracts and UCC sales operate on different clocks, and judgments can last much longer. We screen for time-barred status and use the right disclosures before any talk of voluntary payment.
- Licensing: third-party collection activity requires Maryland licensing and compliant disclosures.
- Wage garnishment: available only after judgment and capped by exemptions; we prioritize cooperative plans first.
- Interest/fees: we pursue only what your contract or the law allows—verified before the first touch.
- Medical specifics: hospital/financial-assistance rules and billing protections are observed; credit reporting is opt-in and used carefully.
Reputation Protection (how we keep doors open)
- Calm scripting that preserves relationships.
- Dispute-pause protocol: we stop and validate before escalation.
- Workplace & privacy respect: no surprises for employers or patients/consumers.
FAQs
- Can we skip to Step 3? Yes—common for older or higher-balance files.
- Do you operate beyond Maryland? Yes—all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
