Simple Pricing That Makes Sense Upfront
Option 1: $15 Fixed-Fee (you keep 100%)
Perfect for early-stage accounts where a respectful nudge and clean follow-up is usually enough.
Option 2: 40% Contingency (no recovery, no fee)
Best when the account is older, the debtor is dodging, or you want us to drive the process end-to-end.
When appropriate and permitted, we can also use email and text to speed up responses. And yes — earlier placement typically means higher recovery, because people are still reachable and the story is still fresh.
Money-saver tip: Many clients are able to offset the fixed-fee service by treating it as a business expense (after checking with their CPA).
The “Velvet Hammer” Approach: You Don’t Win by Getting Loud
Arguing feels productive. It almost never is.
Most people who owe money already feel defensive. If you corner them, they stall, avoid, or retaliate (especially online). If you work the problem with them, you create a path where paying you becomes the easiest way out.
That’s the Velvet Hammer:
firm enough to secure payment, calm enough to protect your reputation.
Here’s what it looks like in real life:
-
We lead with a clear, professional summary of the balance and the timeline.
-
We give the debtor a dignified off-ramp: payment options, split-pay, or a short plan.
-
We keep pressure steady — not emotional. No threats. No drama. Just progress.
Before we push harder, we also run a litigation scrub and risk checks, so you don’t waste energy chasing accounts that are legally risky or likely to implode into a bigger headache.
A Fond du Lac Reality: People Move, Phones Change, Memory Fades
Between seasonal work, relocations around the Lake Winnebago area, and the steady shuffle between Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, and Appleton — a “simple past-due” can turn into “we can’t find them.”
That’s why we combine diplomacy with verification:
-
USPS address checks
-
Skip tracing
-
Bankruptcy checks
-
Optional credit reporting (only if you choose and it’s permitted)
Recent Recovery Results
1) Medical Balance — Fond du Lac
A specialty office had a patient balance just under $1,900 that kept bouncing between “I’ll handle it next Friday” and silence.
Step 1: We verified the best contact route (address + phone) and sent a polite but firm reconciliation notice with simple payment options.
Step 2: Patient responded with a job-change situation; we structured a short split-pay plan that didn’t feel like a punishment.
Step 3: Payments cleared on schedule, and the account closed without complaints or escalation.
2) Business-to-Business — Near Oshkosh
A local supplier had an overdue commercial invoice around $9,400 tied to a project that finished months ago. The customer wasn’t disputing the work — just delaying.
Step 1: We requested a written confirmation of the delivered scope and reset the conversation around documentation, not opinions.
Step 2: We secured a partial payment within days, then a firm follow-up calendar for the remainder.
Step 3: Balance resolved through two payments, with the relationship still intact for future orders.
⚠️ Red Flags We See Around Fond du Lac (Avoid These)
1) Letting it “wait until after the busy season.”
Busy season ends, the balance doesn’t. Early action wins.
2) Mixing service conversations with collection conversations.
Your staff shouldn’t have to chase money right after they fixed a problem.
3) One-size-fits-all pressure.
Some debtors need a plan; others need deadlines. Treating everyone the same slows you down.

Guardrails That Protect Your Brand
Collections can go sideways when someone gets emotional or improvises.
That’s why our calls are recorded and randomly reviewed. It’s a built-in safety net that helps prevent rogue behavior, sloppy language, and review-bomb risk.
Collections Rules That Matter (Practical, Not Legal Advice)
Every account has to be handled with boundaries — and with proof.
In general, we follow:
-
Federal consumer debt rules that restrict harassment, misrepresentation, and unfair pressure
-
Communication rules for calls, voicemails, and written notices
-
Credit reporting standards (only when permitted and authorized)
-
Wisconsin-specific consumer protections that reinforce fair dealing in collection activity
We also support documentation-first recovery, which matters when a debtor suddenly “forgets” what they agreed to.
