Pricing (Two Options, Zero Confusion)
Fixed-Fee Recovery: $15 per account — you keep 100% of what we collect.
Contingency Recovery: 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 — and the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, using our most amicable strategies.
Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy). The awkward “just checking in” calls don’t belong on a technician’s schedule or a front-desk team’s plate.
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.
Money saver tip: Most of our clients are able to offset our fixed-fee service by declaring it as a business expense (after consulting their CPA). For many businesses, that makes the $15 feel close to free.
Why East Wenatchee Past-Due Accounts Get Weirdly Stuck
East Wenatchee has a very specific kind of “close by” customer. People aren’t far away — they’re just constantly moving.
An overdue account here often comes from the same patterns:
-
customers commuting the US-2 / US-97 corridor
-
trucks and crews running up and down US-97 toward Okanogan County
-
steady cross-river traffic over the Odabashian Bridge and pedestrian crossings
-
appointments and follow-ups connected to Confluence Health across the river in Wenatchee
-
travel days through Pangborn Memorial Airport (EAT) just minutes away
-
local weekends around the Apple Capital Loop Trail (where everyone looks relaxed… except your A/R)
So the debtor isn’t always refusing.
They’re postponing. Confidently. Repeatedly.
East Wenatchee metaphor: your invoice can’t be treated like fruit in cold storage.
The longer it sits, the easier it is to forget… and the harder it is to sell.
We bring it back to the front of the line.
Red Flag Box: 3 Local Collection Habits That Cost You the Most
🚩 “They’re local — I’ll just mention it next time I see them.”
That turns your business relationship into a payment standoff. Nobody wins.
🚩 Letting the account bounce between husband/wife, office manager, and “the bookkeeper.”
If there’s no clear payer, you’re negotiating with fog.
🚩 Sending statements forever with no next step.
Statements are passive. Recovery needs structure, deadlines, and follow-through.
Why You Recover More by Working With the Debtor (Not Arguing)
Businesses lose money when they turn collections into a debate.
Debtors don’t pay the loudest creditor. They pay the one who feels:
-
organized
-
consistent
-
easy to resolve with
-
serious enough to keep moving forward
That’s cooperative mediation. We don’t corner people. We give them a clean way to finish — then we keep the timeline real.
Velvet Hammer, in plain terms:
-
respectful opening that earns a response
-
two simple options (pay-in-full or short plan)
-
deadlines that don’t feel like threats, but don’t drift
-
steady follow-up without emotional language
We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from pushing the wrong accounts the wrong way. Some balances are collectible. Some situations are riskier than they look. Smart recovery means staying firm and staying safe.

We’re not here to embarrass your customer. We’re here to close the loop.
Our messages are calm, consistent, and documented. That’s how you get payment without turning the relationship into a public mess.
Most people don’t need pressure… they need clarity and a deadline that actually holds.

Practical Rules Summary (Not Legal Advice)
Collections work best when they stay calm, accurate, and consistent.
Key rules that shape responsible collection activity:
-
FDCPA: no harassment, deception, or unfair pressure
-
Regulation F: communication boundaries and structured outreach practices
-
FCRA: accuracy and dispute handling if credit reporting is used and permitted
-
TCPA: careful rules for calling/texting, especially to mobile numbers

If you choose it (and if permitted), credit reporting can be part of the strategy for the right accounts.
And to reduce review-bomb risk: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collector behavior.
FAQs
When should I place an account for collections in East Wenatchee?
As soon as it’s clearly past due and your reminders aren’t creating action. Earlier assignment usually improves recovery and reduces excuses.
Do you work accounts tied to seasonal schedules and “always traveling” customers?
Yes. That’s common here. Structured outreach stops “busy” from turning into permanent delay.
Can you use text messages to speed up payment?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text is used as a convenience tool — short, respectful, documented — never as pressure.
