Pricing That Makes Sense Up Front
Fixed-Fee Collections: $15 (you keep 100%)
Contingency Collections: 40% (no recovery, no fee)
The earlier you assign an account, the higher the recovery—because we can still catch it while the debtor’s intent to pay is alive. We may also use email or text when appropriate and permitted to speed up responses, and we have Spanish-speaking collectors available.
Money-saver tip: Many clients ask their CPA about treating the fixed-fee service as a business expense. In plenty of cases, that effectively makes the $15 feel “free” after tax treatment.
The Everett Reality: People Pay the Invoice They Feel Safest Paying
In a city with aerospace pay cycles, marina schedules, and contractors juggling jobs from Everett to Mukilteo and Marysville, a lot of non-payment is less “refusal” and more disorganization + avoidance.
Arguing usually hardens the situation.
Cooperation softens it.
We use a Velvet Hammer approach—firm enough to secure a commitment, soft enough to keep your reputation intact. The goal is simple: make your invoice the easiest one to say yes to.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t come in swinging. We come in structured.
We verify the story, clean up the paperwork gaps, and give the debtor a clear path to close the balance with dignity. Then we tighten the follow-up so it doesn’t drift for weeks.
Most businesses don’t need “more aggression.” They need more control.
Red Flags We See Around Everett (That Quietly Kill Recovery)
1) “We’ll resend the invoice later.” Later turns into never—especially when your debtor’s mail and job sites keep changing.
2) Too many voices contacting the debtor. Owner calls, office manager texts, someone else emails… it creates confusion and delays payment.
3) Emotional messages. A frustrated tone can trigger review-bomb risk, complaints, or total ghosting—even from people who could have paid.
Why Cooperative Mediation Wins More Money (Without the Drama)
Debtors prioritize the creditor who feels reasonable but serious. When the tone stays professional, you create a psychological “safe exit” for them:
-
They can pay without feeling cornered
-
They can ask for time without being shamed
-
They can resolve it without escalating the conflict
We still hold the line. We simply do it with tact.
To protect you further, we run a litigation scrub to avoid chasing accounts that look unusually risky. We also use USPS address checks, skip tracing, and bankruptcy screening to prevent wasted effort and messy outcomes.
Recent Recovery Results
Medical Balance (Everett)
A specialty clinic had a patient balance that drifted after insurance processing. Staff follow-ups were getting ignored, and the clinic didn’t want negative online drama.
What we did (in 3 steps):
-
Confirmed the balance details, verified contact accuracy, and opened with a respectful “resolution” call—no threats, no pressure language.
-
Offered two clean options: pay in full or split across short payments (with written confirmation).
-
Sent a simple reminder schedule via permitted channels and closed the account once the final payment cleared.
Outcome: Payment recovered while keeping the tone calm and reputation-safe—clinic staff stopped spending their day chasing callbacks.
Business Debt (Marysville Area)
A contractor had an overdue commercial invoice after a job wrap-up. The debtor wasn’t disputing the work—just dodging the “last step” of paying.
What we did (in 3 steps):
-
Reframed the conversation from “you’re late” to “let’s close this cleanly,” then documented the approval trail.
-
Set a short deadline with a polite but firm commitment plan.
-
Followed up consistently until paid—no unnecessary escalation, no personal attacks.
Outcome: Funds recovered without damaging future working relationships in a tight regional trade network.
Practical Rules That Shape Collection in Washington
This is general information, not legal advice—but here’s what matters:
-
Washington has specific rules for collection agencies under RCW 19.16, and it’s built to prevent deceptive or abusive practices.
-
The FDCPA sets baseline conduct rules for consumer debt: no harassment, no misrepresentation, and clear communication boundaries.
-
Regulation F governs key FDCPA interpretations (including call-frequency limits like the “7-in-7” concept for certain situations).
-
If text or phone is used, TCPA rules and consent expectations matter.
-
If credit reporting is chosen and permitted, FCRA standards apply—accuracy and proper handling are non-negotiable.
-
For medical-related accounts, privacy expectations (including HIPAA-aware handling) stay front and center.
Also important: Calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collector behavior and reduce review-bomb risk.

FAQs
How fast can you start recovery in Everett?
Same-day is often possible once we have the invoice, debtor details, and a clean “who approved what” summary. Speed matters—Everett accounts move with job schedules.
Will this damage our reputation or trigger angry reviews?
We’re built to avoid that. The Velvet Hammer style stays respectful, documented, and controlled—plus calls are recorded and reviewed.
What if the debtor moved or “vanished” between Everett and nearby cities?
That’s exactly why we use USPS address checks and skip tracing, then restart contact cleanly instead of guessing and burning time.
