Pricing That Keeps It Simple (Two Clear Options)
Fixed-Fee: $15 (you keep 100%)
Great for newer balances where you want quick action and clean communication.
Contingency: 40% (no recovery, no fee)
Best for older, stubborn accounts where you want a serious push without added risk.
When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses and cut down the back-and-forth.
Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate — and the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, especially with amicable strategies.
Let your employees do the core work they were hired for — not collections, which nobody enjoys.
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients offset the fixed-fee by categorizing it as a Business Expense after confirming with their CPA.
Why “Friendly Pressure” Beats Arguments (The Velvet Hammer Method)
If Gahanna had a collection style, it’d be like its herb gardens: steady, intentional, and effective without being loud.
Debtors don’t pay faster because you corner them. They pay faster because you make payment feel like the smartest, lowest-friction decision — before they spend the money elsewhere.
Our Velvet Hammer approach works because we focus on:
-
Clarity over conflict: what’s owed, why it’s owed, and what closes it today
-
Options that feel doable: pay-in-full, short plan, or scheduled settlement conversation
-
Urgency with a calm voice: a firm timeline without insults, threats, or chaos
-
“Will to pay” psychology: we help them choose you first, not last
We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from chasing the wrong accounts too aggressively — the ones most likely to turn into a time sink, a complaint, or worse.
🧯 Red Flag Box: 3 Local Pitfalls That Quietly Kill Recovery Rates
1) “We’ll give them one more week” — for five weeks.
Every extra delay teaches the debtor you’ll keep waiting.
2) Sending emotional messages from the office number.
One frustrated voicemail can turn into a reputation issue fast — especially in tight communities and review-heavy areas.
3) Skipping the basics: correct address + correct decision-maker.
If you don’t verify contact info early, your outreach becomes random… and random doesn’t get paid.
Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe)
1) Medical Recovery — Gahanna Area Outpatient Balance
What happened: A patient balance kept stalling with “I’ll handle it after my next paycheck,” and the clinic team didn’t have time to keep chasing.
How we handled it (2–3 steps):
-
USPS address checks + skip tracing to confirm we weren’t wasting time on outdated contact details.
-
A respectful first call + a short follow-up text (when permitted), offering two choices: pay-in-full or a simple, structured plan.
-
Consistent reminders without pressure-spikes, so the patient didn’t feel attacked — just guided.
Result: A payment plan started quickly and closed out without complaints or drama.
2) Business Recovery — Nearby City (New Albany Area) B2B Invoice
What happened: A B2B service invoice went into “approval limbo.” Work was delivered, but payment kept drifting.
How we handled it (2–3 steps):
-
Professional mediation call to separate “real dispute” from “delay tactics.”
-
Clean documentation recap sent the same day: invoice summary, service dates, and a simple payment deadline.
-
Firm-but-polite escalation language: “We can pause action until Friday. After that, we move this forward.”
Result: Partial payment landed first, then the remainder cleared shortly after — without torching the relationship.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’ll say the quiet part out loud: collections drain your staff.
It’s awkward. It’s repetitive. It’s the same excuses on loop. And it pulls attention away from the work that actually grows your business.
When you hand accounts to us, we keep it professional, documented, and controlled — and we do it with a tone that protects your reputation in a community where word travels.
Also important: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors and reduce review-bomb risk.
Gahanna Anchors We Work Around (Because Local Rhythm Matters)
Debt recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. In Gahanna, it helps to understand the flow:
-
Creekside / Olde Gahanna foot traffic and small-business visibility
-
Big Walnut Creek area activity — where reputation is more “neighbor” than “market”
-
Proximity to John Glenn Columbus International Airport and its vendor ecosystem
-
The I-270 outerbelt pace (busy decision-makers, quick turnaround expectations)
-
Fast-moving business corridors near Hamilton Road and nearby commercial zones
-
Close access to Easton retail and service volume (where vendors juggle high transaction counts)
-
The “Columbus side of suburb life” — where professional tone matters as much as the outcome
Laws & Practical Rules Summary (Not Legal Advice)
We keep your outreach clean, respectful, and consistent with common collection rules:
-
FDCPA / Regulation F (federal): prohibits harassment and sets standards for respectful communication.
-
Contact timing: generally avoids early-morning and late-night contact windows.
-
FCRA (credit reporting): credit reporting can be used if you choose and if permitted for the account type and situation.
-
Ohio timelines matter: different debt types have different limits, so assigning earlier protects your leverage.
-
Verification steps we use: USPS address checks, skip tracing, and bankruptcy checks before applying heavier pressure.

FAQs
1) We serve customers near Creekside. Will collections hurt our reputation locally?
Not if it’s handled correctly. Our Velvet Hammer approach is firm, respectful, and documented — designed to reduce complaints and protect your public image.
2) Some debtors ignore calls but respond to messages. Can you use text?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text and email can reduce “phone tag” and speed up commitments.
3) When should we assign an unpaid account in Gahanna — 30 days, 60 days, or longer?
Earlier tends to win. The longer the balance sits, the more likely you become “optional.” Assign sooner so your invoice stays top priority.
