Simple pricing (pick the lane that fits)
-
Fixed-fee: $15 — you keep 100% of what’s recovered.
-
Contingency: 40% — no recovery, no fee.
When appropriate and permitted, we’ll also use email or text to speed up responses. And yes—Spanish-speaking collectors are on board.
Money-saver tip: Many clients can offset the fixed-fee cost by treating it as a business expense (after confirming with their CPA).
The “Velvet Hammer” approach: firm enough to get paid, calm enough to protect reviews
In a market where one angry customer can leave a permanent mark online, the loudest collector isn’t the best collector.
We recover more by working with the debtor instead of trying to “win” a fight:
-
Debtors prioritize who treats them like a person. If your message is respectful and structured, you become the “must-pay-first” account.
-
Arguments create delay. Delay creates excuses. Excuses create “I’ll pay next month.”
-
Diplomatic pressure closes faster. Clear deadlines, simple options, and zero shaming.
That’s the Velvet Hammer: steady pressure, professional tone, and a path to yes.
Before we push, we also do a litigation scrub so you’re not collecting in ways that expose you to unnecessary risk.
Note from the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not trying to “ruin someone’s day.” We’re trying to restore your cash flow without damaging your brand. Most debtors aren’t villains—they’re overwhelmed, disorganized, or juggling too many vendors. When we give them structure (and keep the temperature low), they pay. When they won’t, we document everything and escalate cleanly.
Two recent, reputation-safe recoveries
Recovery #1 — Medical balance (Concord) | $2,860 recovered
-
The patient had a legitimate dispute: they claimed they never received a clear final statement after insurance processed. We requested backup documents, verified address via USPS checks, and rebuilt a clean statement trail.
-
We sent a calm validation-style notice with a simple choice: pay in full with a short deadline, or choose a two-payment plan.
-
They selected the plan and paid both installments on time—no threats, no drama, no review-bomb risk.
Recovery #2 — B2B commercial invoice (nearby Kannapolis) | $9,740 recovered
-
A contractor billed for completed work; the customer kept delaying with “waiting on my customer.” We confirmed the paper trail: signed scope, change-order approvals, delivery logs, and invoice timing.
-
We opened with cooperative mediation: acknowledge the cash squeeze, then offer two options—pay in full by a set date or sign a short settlement plan with automatic reminders.
-
Once the debtor realized the file was organized (and escalation would be clean), they paid a lump sum plus a final smaller installment.
Red Flag Box: 3 collection mistakes that cost Concord businesses money
-
Chasing without documentation: no signed agreement, missing proof of delivery, or unclear pricing terms. In New York you really get punished for this, but even in North Carolina it still kills leverage.
-
Letting emotions drive messaging: aggressive calls or sloppy texts invite disputes and complaints.
-
Waiting too long to assign: the longer a balance sits, the more likely you’ll get “lost contact,” staff turnover, or a debtor who simply reorganizes their priorities.
Local context matters in Concord
We build strategy around how Concord actually operates:
-
I-85 / US-29 corridors where vendors, trades, and logistics companies run tight schedules.
-
Charlotte Motor Speedway and event-driven surges where short-term cash crunches create late payments.
-
Concord Mills area where retail and service vendors can stack up quickly.
-
Atrium Health Cabarrus and nearby specialty clinics that need a patient-safe tone.
-
Cabarrus College of Health Sciences and the local education ecosystem where sensitivity matters.
-
CLT airport proximity (for regional vendors) where out-of-town debtors assume you’ll “never follow up.”
Rules that shape collections (practical, not legal advice)
Collections isn’t just “ask harder.” The rules matter—even for commercial accounts.
In practice, our process includes:
-
Address checks using USPS tools to cut down bad-contact files.
-
Skip tracing to locate current phones/emails when staff or offices change.
-
Bankruptcy checks before escalation.
-
Credit reporting only if you choose and only if permitted for the account type and situation.
We also follow key federal guardrails (validation notices, disclosures, and communication limits) and North Carolina’s consumer-protection framework that restricts unfair or deceptive collection behavior.
And to keep your reputation safe: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed—that’s how we prevent rogue collectors, sloppy language, and “review-bomb” moments.

FAQs
Do you work smaller balances, or only big accounts?
Both. Fixed-fee is popular for smaller invoices because it’s simple and cost-controlled; contingency is better for larger or older balances.
Can you contact by text in Concord?
When appropriate and permitted, yes—especially for fast coordination. We keep it professional and opt-out aware.
What should I prepare before placing an account?
Best results come when you have: invoice(s), signed agreement or authorization, proof of delivery/service, payment history, and the debtor’s best contact details. Clean files close faster.
