We turn slow pays into steady cash with polite, regulation-smart outreach that keeps your name strong on Google and lightens workload for your team. We collect in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, so relocations don’t stall recovery.

Most Durham clients choose Step 2 (Fixed-Fee) → Step 3 (Contingency) for the best cost-to-lift balance.

Make finance happy: Clean dashboards, timestamped activity, and your approvals on settlements or any credit reporting.
Built for Durham’s mix: Healthcare, biotech, education, property management, trade services—one partner that adapts to each.

Mini Case Study: RTP supplier stops 90-day drift

An RTP lab consumables distributor (Miami Blvd.) placed 112 invoices (0–150 days; avg. $256). We launched Step 2 letters with self-serve links and focused follow-ups. In 41 days, $24,980 posted; 11% additional set on two-installment plans via Step 3. Their AR specialist reclaimed 6 hours/week once dunning calls ended.

Service Types & Pricing (start where it fits)

• 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 collection agency 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. You may also be able to claim this fixed-fee cost as a business expense (often making it feel “free”). Start at any step (1–3) by age/amount.

Free: Bankruptcy screening • Litigious-debtor check • Latest address check • Credit reporting (if you want and if the law permits).

Timing matters: Newer accounts recover better—place early.

North Carolina Collection Law — Short & Useful

Statute of limitations: Generally 3 years for most written/open-account debts; 4 years for sale-of-goods (UCC). Some sealed instruments can run longer.
Wage garnishment: Not permitted in NC for ordinary consumer debts (exceptions: taxes, child support, certain federal/student loans).
Judgments: Often valid up to 10 years (renewal rules apply); track interest and deadlines.
Call recording: One-party consent (lawful if one participant consents).
Licensing: Consumer recovery tied to NC requires proper state authorization and compliance.

New FAQs (Durham-specific)

We accept simple CSV/API and mirror your data fields; exports align to your GL/aging buckets.

What’s a smart placement policy for us?
Many teams place at 30–45 days past due for memberships/retail; 45–60 days for medical/dental; earlier if balances exceed your threshold.
How are disputes handled?
