Corinth is a crossroads city in the most literal sense—where routes, rail lines, and small-town word-of-mouth all intersect. That’s great for commerce. It’s brutal for awkward collections. Push too hard and the story travels. Wait too long and the money disappears into someone else’s “priority stack.”

Pricing (fast clarity, no fluff)
-
Fixed-fee $15: you keep 100% of what’s recovered.
-
Contingency 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—the earlier you assign, the better recovery results tend to be, especially with amicable strategies. Let your employees do the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections work they obviously don’t enjoy. Bilingual collections are available (Spanish-speaking collectors).
Money saver tip: Many clients are able to treat the fixed-fee service as a business expense after consulting their CPA, which can effectively offset the cost.
The “Switchyard” approach: route the payment, don’t derail the relationship
Corinth became famous because trains met here. Switches mattered. Timing mattered. A bad move didn’t just slow one train—it jammed the whole system.
Past-due accounts work the same way. If you come in loud, you derail cooperation. If you come in vague, you get parked on a siding forever. Velvet Hammer is the middle track: firm enough to move money, soft enough to protect your reputation.

Why you recover more by working with the debtor (instead of arguing)
Arguing feels productive. It rarely is.
Debtors don’t pay the angriest creditor first. They pay the creditor who offers:
-
a clear summary of what’s owed,
-
a clean way to fix it, and
-
a tone that won’t embarrass them.
So we lean into cooperative mediation:
-
Clarity first. One-page summary. No rambling threads.
-
Controlled options. Pay-in-full, short plan, or settlement—structured and time-bound.
-
Respectful firmness. Deadlines without drama.
-
Litigation scrub. We screen for accounts that are riskier to pursue the wrong way, before escalation.
And to protect your brand: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to reduce rogue-collector behavior and review-bomb risk.
Note from the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not trying to “win” a conversation. We’re trying to end the problem. When we talk to debtors, we listen for the real blocker—missing paperwork, a scope dispute, a contact change, cash-flow timing, or simple avoidance. Then we remove the blocker and give them a dignified path to pay you before they pay anyone else.
Red flag box: 3 Corinth pitfalls that quietly kill recovery
1) The “I’ll drop it by” stall. They promise an in-person check that never arrives.
2) The “wrong contact loop.” You keep emailing someone who can’t approve payment.
3) The “too-polite delay.” You wait because it’s a small town—then your invoice ages out and your leverage shrinks.
Two recent recovery results (reputation-safe, realistic)
Medical recovery in Corinth — $8,430 recovered (patient balance)
-
Step 1: Verify and reach the right person. We used address checks (USPS-based where available) and careful contact validation to avoid wrong-party outreach.
-
Step 2: Reset the tone and offer options. Pay-in-full option plus a short plan with firm dates and receipts.
-
Step 3: Quiet follow-through. Consistent reminders (including text where appropriate) kept momentum. Paid without complaints.
Business recovery in nearby Tupelo — $15,280 recovered (B2B services invoice)
-
Step 1: Turn the “approval delay” into specifics. Who approves, what they need, and when it closes—no vague chasing.
-
Step 2: Mediation framing with a firm deadline. “Let’s close this vendor file before your next pay run.” Calm, direct, time-bound.
-
Step 3: Escalation-ready after litigation scrub. Once the account screened as safe to press, a final date triggered payment to avoid disruption.
Two $3K–$12K mini scenarios (fast, concrete)
Corinth — $3,760 (contractor/trades)
A customer disputes a minor detail after completion to freeze payment. We acknowledge the issue, propose a small controlled resolution tied to immediate payment (or a short plan), and set a close-out deadline. Result: paid in two installments, no public heat.
Nearby Booneville — $11,940 (B2B commercial / recurring service)
AP insists the invoice “never came through.” We verify delivery, resend once with a clean ledger summary, and set a pay-by date aligned to their pay cycle. A final reminder text (where appropriate) gets it handled the same week.

Practical laws summary (not legal advice)
-
Federal baseline: FDCPA and CFPB Regulation F shape debt collection communications and guardrails, including how modern channels (email/text) can be used with proper procedures and opt-outs.
-
Mississippi time limits: many actions on open accounts / unwritten contracts commonly run on a three-year window; other claims may also fall under Mississippi’s general three-year period.
-
Garnishment: typically requires a judgment first, and wage garnishment has limits and exemptions.
Operationally, we also use skip tracing, bankruptcy checks, and USPS-based address checks (where available). Credit reporting can be used if you choose and if permitted for the account type and situation.
