Pricing That Keeps the Decision Easy
-
Fixed-fee: $15 — you keep 100% of what’s collected.
-
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 rate—earlier you assign, better recovery results are delivered—because the file is fresh and the debtor hasn’t learned they can stall you out. Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy). Bilingual collections are available—Spanish collectors also on board.
Money saver tip: Most of our clients are able to get our fixed-fee service for free by treating it as a business expense after consulting their CPA.
The Radburn Lesson: Separate the Walkway From the Traffic
Radburn is famous for its planning—separating pedestrian paths from car flow. Collections should copy that idea.
Most businesses mix two things that shouldn’t touch: emotion and money. They argue, plead, apologize, then get ignored. We separate it:
-
Walkway: calm, respectful communication that keeps cooperation alive
-
Traffic lane: firm structure—documentation, deadlines, and a clear next step
That’s the Velvet Hammer: strong enough to secure payment, soft enough to protect your 5-star reputation. We’re not here to “win” a conversation. We’re here to close the balance without leaving your brand bruised.
Red Flag Box: 3 Fair Lawn Payment Games That Waste the Most Time
-
The station shuffle: “I’m commuting—call me later.” Later becomes never if there’s no structure.
-
The AP reroute: “Send it to someone else.” If you don’t verify the right contact, you’ll loop for weeks.
-
The polite dispute fog: “That doesn’t look right.” If they won’t put specifics in writing, it’s usually delay dressed up as confusion.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We keep it professional because Fair Lawn is connected—Paterson next door, Route 4 traffic, and a community where reputations travel fast. That’s why calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors and reduce review-bomb risk. You get firm follow-through without chaos.
What Happens Behind the Scenes (So You Don’t Pay for Guesswork)
Before we “push,” we tighten the file so excuses run out naturally:
-
USPS address checks to prevent the “wrong address” loop
-
Skip tracing when the contact trail is stale
-
Bankruptcy check before applying pressure the wrong way
-
A simple resolution menu: pay in full, short plan, or structured settlement
-
Credit reporting if you choose and if permitted (used strategically, not as theater)
-
Litigation scrub to help protect you from collecting from riskier situations
Why Working With the Debtor Pays Better Than Arguing With Them
Debtors don’t pay the loudest voice. They pay the clearest path to closure.
When you argue, the debtor protects pride and starts withholding cooperation—missed calls, vague disputes, endless “I’ll check.” When you use cooperative mediation, you keep them engaged long enough to choose resolution. The goal is to let them keep the will to pay you first rather than turning your invoice into a grudge.
We stay respectful, but we don’t stay vague. Respect without structure is just free extensions.
Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe, Step-by-Step)
Medical recovery — Fair Lawn

Balance: $9,180 (patient responsibility after insurance processing)
-
Step 1: We verified address/contact details and sent a clean ledger-style summary: dates of service, balance, and two payment paths.
-
Step 2: Debtor preferred text confirmations; where permitted, we used messaging to confirm plan dates and eliminate missed-call drift.
-
Step 3: Plan completed on schedule. Account closed quietly—no escalation, no complaints.
Business recovery — nearby Paramus
-
Balance: $11,670 (B2B invoice caught in “approval” limbo)
-
Step 1: Debtor floated a vague scope issue. We requested the dispute point in writing and set a professional response deadline.
-
Step 2: We proposed a split resolution: partial payment now + a dated final installment tied to a simple sign-off.
-
Step 3: Funds arrived in two clean pieces; relationship preserved, file closed.
Mini Scenarios (Fast, Concrete)
Fair Lawn — dental balance: $4,120
Insurance confusion became a loop. We clarified responsibility, offered a respectful two-pay option, and closed the balance without turning it into a confrontation.
Nearby Hackensack — contractor receivable: $10,980
Debtor leaned on “waiting on the customer.” We asked for the exact hold-up, documented the timeline, and set firm plan dates. Payment landed once stalling stopped being comfortable.

FAQs
Can you text or email debtors who don’t answer calls?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. It often breaks the missed-call stalemate and speeds up plan confirmations.
Do you have Spanish-speaking collectors?
Yes—bilingual Spanish collectors are available.
What’s a Fair Lawn-specific reason invoices stall?
Commuter life. “I’m on the train / driving Route 4” becomes a repeat excuse. We keep it respectful, but we tighten timelines so commuting doesn’t become indefinite delay.
