Service Types & Pricing (choose your entry point)
• Step 1 — First-Party Courtesy Reminders (Fixed-Fee)
We act as your extension with five soft reminders for fresher balances (0–60 days), sent as if these reminders are coming from you. Typical Fee: $15 per account.
• Step 2 — Third-Party Written Demands (Fixed-Fee)
Five professional letters on our letterhead that prompt action while preserving goodwill. Sometimes digital contacts are mixed if permitted by law in that area. Typical Fee: $15 per account.
• Step 3 — Full Third-Party Collections (Contingency)
Persistent, polite phone + digital contact; payment plans and settlements used when helpful. Typical Fee: 40% of amounts recovered. No recovery, No Fee.
• Step 4 — Legal Collections (Contingency, client-approved)
Attorney escalation only after in-depth review; nominal filing fees initiated and reimbursed upon recovery. Typical Fee: 50% of amounts recovered. No recovery, No Fee.
Notes: In Steps 1–2, payments go directly to you; no extra fees. Start at any step (1–3) by age/amount.
Included free: Bankruptcy screening • Litigious-debtor check • Latest address check • Credit reporting (if you want and the law permits).
Timing tip: Newer accounts recover better—place early.

Hawaiʻi Collection Law — Practical Highlights
-
Statute of limitations (SOL):
-
Written and oral contracts: generally 6 years from accrual.
-
Sale of goods (UCC): typically 4 years (parties may shorten by agreement to not less than 1 year).
-
Action step: Track the last payment or written acknowledgment—it can affect the SOL analysis.
-
-
Judgments: lifespan & interest:
-
Judgment validity: commonly 10 years unless properly extended; older judgments risk being treated as satisfied.
-
Post-judgment interest: often 10% per year unless a different lawful rate applies.
-
Action step: If you already have a judgment, calendar renewal/extension deadlines and compute interest accurately.
-
-
Wage garnishment (after judgment):
-
Tiered withholding often summarized as 5% of the first $100/month, 10% of the next $100, and 20% of amounts over $200 (weekly equivalents apply).
-
Action step: Confirm exemptions and employer processing timelines before seeking a writ.
-
-
Bank levies & exemptions:
-
Court orders can reach bank accounts, but exempt funds (e.g., certain benefits) must be honored.
-
Action step: Verify employer and bank details early; prepare declarations addressing exemptions where applicable.
-
-
Call recording:
-
One-party consent—recording is generally lawful if one participant consents.
-
Action step: Standardize consent language and store recordings with the account log.
-
-
Licensing/registration:
-
Consumer recovery tied to Hawaiʻi requires compliance with state registration/licensing and bonding rules.
-
Action step: Keep licenses current and ensure vendor partners align with Hawaiʻi requirements.
-
-
Compliance cadence (quick tips):
-
Respect local calling windows (align to HST) and modern contact-frequency limits.
-
Time-barred debt: Avoid litigation and provide appropriate disclosures before discussing payment options.
-
Credit reporting: Only when accurate, permissible, and substantiated—keep documentation ready.
-
What this means for you:
-
Place early to avoid SOL issues, especially on goods-related invoices.
-
If balances approach the 6-year window (or 4 years for goods), move decisively with Step 2 → Step 3.
-
For existing judgments, use interest accrual and garnishment tools thoughtfully, with exemptions in mind.
