Clear Pricing, No Games
Fixed-Fee Recovery — $15
You keep 100% of what we recover.
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 rates — the earlier you assign, the better the results, because we start with our most amicable strategies while the account is still recoverable without tension. Let your employees do the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy). We also have Spanish-speaking collectors on board.
Money saver tip: Many of our clients can treat the fixed-fee service as a business expense (after consulting their CPA), which often offsets the cost.
Why Cooperation Collects More Than Conflict
A lot of businesses collect like they’re trying to “win” an argument.
But here’s the truth: nobody pays faster because they got yelled at.
They pay faster when the path is clear, the tone is respectful, and the next step is unavoidable.
That’s what we do. We help the debtor keep their dignity while still giving them a firm deadline.
It’s the Velvet Hammer approach: strong enough to secure payment, soft enough to protect your five-star reputation.
Instead of a fight, we create priority.
Because debtors don’t pay the loudest creditor first… they pay the creditor that makes it easiest to finish.
We also do a litigation scrub before applying heavier pressure. It’s a smart filter that helps protect you from spending energy on riskier files or bad-faith situations. Better decisions upfront = cleaner recoveries.
⚠️ Red Flag Box: 3 Ways Eau Claire Businesses Accidentally Lose Recoverable Money
1) “We’ll wait until next month.”
Next month becomes next quarter. Old balances don’t get friendlier — they get harder to collect.
2) Letting staff chase payments between real work.
Your office manager, scheduler, and team weren’t hired to have awkward money conversations all day. It drains morale and delays revenue tasks.
3) Chasing with outdated contact info.
People move apartments, change numbers, or ignore old emails. We use USPS address checks, then skip tracing when needed to find the right contact fast.

How We Move a Past-Due Account to “Paid” (Without the Drama)
We start by making the file collectible
Correct balance, correct responsible party, correct contact channels. No guesswork.
We open with professional mediation
Respectful tone, direct message, and a simple way to close the account.
We keep options limited
Pay now, or a short plan with real dates. Endless negotiating creates endless delays.
We follow up consistently
Not emotional. Not random. Predictable follow-up closes accounts faster.
And to prevent rogue behavior and review-bomb risk: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
