Pricing You Can Explain in One Breath
-
Fixed-fee: $15 — you keep 100% of what’s collected.
-
Contingency: 40% — no recovery, no fee.
When appropriate and permitted, we may 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—because the story is fresher, the contact info is cleaner, and the debtor hasn’t prioritized ten other bills ahead of yours. Also: let your employees do the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy). Bilingual collections are available—Spanish collectors also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients treat the fixed-fee service as a business expense after consulting their CPA.
The “Levee” Metaphor: Chesterfield Valley Taught This City Something
Chesterfield Valley exists because people here understand protection and structure—build the right boundaries, and business can thrive. Collections work the same way. You don’t need threats. You need a controlled system that keeps you firm, keeps the debtor respectful, and keeps your reputation out of the mud.
We work in the rhythm of Chesterfield: the Chesterfield Valley commerce strip, the traffic veins of I-64/US-40 and MO-141 (Woods Mill), the energy around The District and The Factory, the family flow through Central Park and the Chesterfield Amphitheater, and the constant movement near Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS). Even the calm corners—Faust Park and the Butterfly House, Logan University—remind you this is still a community town. Word gets around.
Red Flag Box: 3 Chesterfield Collection Pitfalls We See Constantly
-
“We’re still reconciling the statement.” Translation: they’re buying time and hoping you stop following up.
-
Letting the debtor turn the conversation into a debate. Arguments don’t create payments—options do.
-
Chasing the wrong person at the wrong address. No USPS address check, no bankruptcy screen, no traction.
Why Cooperative Mediation Wins (Yes, Even With Stubborn Debtors)
You recover more by working with the debtor than arguing against them because payment is emotional before it’s financial. When people feel cornered, they protect ego first—by dodging, disputing, or going silent. When they feel guided, they protect their future—by paying.
That’s the Velvet Hammer: diplomatic style that is firm enough to secure payment, but respectful and soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation. The goal is to make you the creditor they can resolve first, not the one they resent the most.
We also run a litigation scrub to help you avoid collecting from riskier profiles and to reduce “surprise escalation” situations.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We keep the tone professional on purpose. We’re not here to “win” a phone call—we’re here to close balances without leaving scorch marks on your brand. That’s why calls are recorded and randomly reviewed, to prevent rogue collector behavior and reduce review-bomb risk.
What Happens After You Place an Account
-
USPS address checks to reduce “never received it” excuses
-
Skip tracing when the contact trail is stale
-
Bankruptcy checks before pushing momentum in the wrong direction
-
Clear, written options: pay in full, short plan, or structured settlement
-
Credit reporting if you choose and if permitted (and when it’s strategically useful)
Two Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe, Realistic)
Medical recovery — Chesterfield
-
Balance: $7,860 (specialty care patient responsibility across multiple visits)
-
Step 1: We verified address details and delivered a clean, non-accusatory summary—dates, balance, and options.
-
Step 2: Debtor asked for texting to avoid missed calls; we used permitted messaging to confirm plan terms and due dates.
-
Step 3: Two payments posted, final installment cleared, account closed quietly—no complaints, no public noise.
Business recovery — nearby Creve Coeur
-
Balance: $12,440 (B2B professional services invoice tied to “scope confusion”)
-
Step 1: We requested a one-paragraph dispute statement and supporting docs. Most “scope fights” shrink when written down.
-
Step 2: We proposed a resolution: immediate partial payment + a short, dated remainder contingent on sign-off.
-
Step 3: Funds arrived in two tranches, relationship intact, and the debtor stopped stalling once the path was simple.
Two Fast $3K–$12K Recovery Examples
Chesterfield — dental balance: $3,690
Patient claimed insurance delay. We stayed calm, clarified responsibility, offered a respectful two-pay plan, and closed it without conflict.
Nearby Ballwin — contractor receivable: $10,980
Debtor cited “cashflow this month.” We set a firm schedule with a modest incentive for fast resolution. They chose speed over stretching it out.
Laws That Matter in Missouri (Practical, Not Legal Advice)
A few guardrails shape how collections are handled day-to-day:
-
FDCPA and Regulation F influence how consumer-debt communications must be conducted (harassment, deception, and unfair pressure are out; clear disclosures and sane contact practices are in).
-
Missouri’s limitation windows often referenced in planning include 10 years for actions upon a writing for payment of money/property and 5 years for many other contract-based actions not in that category.
-
You can also choose credit reporting where permitted and appropriate—but it should be a policy decision, not a bluff.
This is general information, not legal advice.

What’s different about collecting in Chesterfield’s corporate-and-retail mix?
A lot of debt here is “professional people being busy,” not “people being malicious.” The fastest wins come from structured mediation—clear summaries, clear options, and a respectful tone that doesn’t trigger defensive behavior.
