Simple Pricing (Choose What Fits the Account)

Fixed-Fee: $15 per account — you keep 100% of what you recover
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 rates — and the earlier you assign, the better the results, especially when the approach stays amicable. Your employees were hired to do their actual jobs… not chase payments they don’t enjoy chasing.
And yes — Spanish-speaking collectors are available.

Money-saver tip: Many clients offset the fixed-fee service by treating it as a business expense (after checking with their CPA).

Why Elkhorn Debtors Pay Faster When You Don’t Pick a Fight

A lot of businesses unknowingly train customers to delay payment by going nuclear too early: stern calls, threats, awkward confrontations, and “we’ll never work with you again” vibes.

We do the opposite — without being soft.

Our “Velvet Hammer” style is:

  • Firm enough to create urgency and structure

  • Respectful enough to protect your reputation

  • Clear enough that the debtor understands the next steps

Instead of cornering people, we give them a clean path to resolve the balance — and we make it easier to prioritize you over everyone else yelling at them.

We also run a litigation scrub and bankruptcy screening so you don’t waste time pushing the wrong account the wrong way.

A Local Reality Check: Elkhorn Isn’t a Big Anonymous City

Around here, business moves up and down familiar routes — I-43, US-12, and WI-67.

Customers bounce between Elkhorn and nearby hubs like Lake Geneva, Delavan, and Whitewater.

Seasonality matters too — when the Walworth County Fairgrounds is active, hospitality and vendor traffic spikes, and so do billing disputes, chargebacks, and “I’ll pay after the event” promises.

And with major healthcare access nearby, including Aurora Lakeland Medical Center, medical balances often depend on timing, insurance coordination, and patient trust.

That’s why our collection tone is built to recover cash without creating local drama.

⚠️ Red Flag Box: 3 Payment Pitfalls We See Around Elkhorn

  1. “Small town goodwill” turns into unlimited extensions — kindness is fine, but vague deadlines aren’t.

  2. No paper trail after the fair/event rush — verbal add-ons become uncollectible confusion later.

  3. Front office doing collections — patients/customers don’t pay faster… they just resent your staff.

A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team

We’re not here to “win arguments.” We’re here to win payments.
So we speak to people like they’re still human — but we stay consistent, track everything, and tighten the timeline. Most debtors don’t need humiliation. They need a plan they can follow and a firm reminder that the balance won’t disappear.

What We Do Behind the Scenes (So You Don’t Have To)

  • USPS address checks to reduce wrong-contact headaches

  • Skip tracing when accounts go ghost

  • Bankruptcy checks and account screening before escalation

  • Credit reporting if you choose, and if permitted

  • Email + text options when appropriate and allowed

Also important: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collector behavior and reduce review-bomb risk.

Laws That Matter in Wisconsin (Practical Summary)

Debt recovery has rules — and smart collection protects you as much as it protects the consumer.

In Wisconsin, debtor communication and conduct are shaped by the Wisconsin Consumer Act (Chapter 427) for consumer obligations, along with key federal standards like:

  • FDCPA (harassment, deception, unfair practices)

  • FCRA (if credit reporting is used, accuracy and dispute handling)

  • TCPA / texting & calling rules (permissions and limits)

  • Regulation F (clear communication standards for debt collection)

This isn’t legal advice — it’s the real-world framework we follow so recovery stays effective and reputation-safe.

Common Questions We Get in Elkhorn

Can you collect without upsetting customers in a tight-knit area like Walworth County?
Yes — that’s the whole point of Velvet Hammer. We apply pressure without burning bridges.

What if the debtor is “local” and I still want to keep the relationship?
Then we push for a respectful settlement plan, documented agreements, and clean follow-through.

Do you handle seasonal businesses tied to events and tourism?
Absolutely. Event-heavy cycles (including fairground-related spikes) often create payment delays — we build timelines around real cashflow patterns, not wishful thinking.
