Direct Recovery: Pricing for the “City of Destiny”
We believe in financial transparency that matches the grit of the Illinois business community. We offer two Current paths to reclaiming your liquidity:
-
Low-Fixed Tier: For early-stage accounts, pay just $15 per file and your business keeps 100% of the recovered funds.
-
Contingency Tier: For older or complex debts, we operate on a performance basis of 20%–40%. Our rule is absolute: No recovery, no fee.
Involving a professional agency significantly improves your recovery rate; the earlier you assign a file, the better the results. We utilize Current communication streams, including coordinated email and SMS text where possible, to engage debtors with speed. This partnership allows your employees to stay focused on the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections—a task that kills staff morale and productivity.

The Concierge Collective: A Note from the Team
“We view ourselves as the shock absorbers for your accounts receivable. In Des Plaines, where community roots run as deep as the historic downtown, we understand that today’s delinquent debtor might be tomorrow’s renewed partner. As your Account Reconciliation Concierges, we act as a firm but empathetic extension of your office. We handle the friction of the ‘past due’ notice so you can maintain the friendship of the long-term customer. We provide the ‘Velvet Hammer’—firm enough to secure the check, soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation.”
Why Psychological Mediation Recovers More
Traditional “scorched-earth” collection tactics fail because they trigger a defensive response. If you argue with a debtor, they instinctively hide or pay the “nicer” bill first just to avoid the stress of your interaction. We use a diplomatic style that is firm enough to secure payment but respectful enough to protect your reputation. By working with the debtor to find a path to “yes,” we ensure they have the will to pay you first than others.
To further insulate you from risk, every file undergoes a rigorous litigation scrub. This identifies “professional plaintiffs” who intentionally bait businesses into technical errors to trigger lawsuits. Combined with USPS address checks, skip tracing, and bankruptcy scrubs, we ensure you aren’t attempting to collect from high-risk individuals who could put your business at legal risk.
Red Flag Box: 3 Des Plaines Collection Pitfalls
-
The “Airport Transience” Factor: With proximity to O’Hare, many debtors are transient or operate out of temporary industrial flex spaces. Without Current skip-tracing, your notices are likely hitting empty mailboxes.
-
The “Net-90” Normalization: In the heavy manufacturing districts near Mount Prospect Road, debtors often try to push small vendors into unofficial Net-90 cycles to finance their own operations.
-
Reputation Fragility: Des Plaines is a tight-knit community. One rogue collector using aggressive tactics can lead to a community-wide “review-bombing” campaign against your local practice or firm.
