Pricing, Plain and Simple (and built for early action)
-
Fixed-fee: $15 — 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 rate—the earlier you assign, the better the recovery results, especially when we lead with amicable strategies. Let your employees do the work they were hired for—not collections they don’t enjoy. And yes: Spanish-speaking collectors are on board.
Money-saver tip: Many clients are able to treat our fixed-fee service as a business expense (often making it “feel free” after taxes). Confirm with your CPA.
Great Falls realities we plan around (so your plan feels local)
Great Falls isn’t just a dot on I-15. It’s a working city with real cash-flow rhythms:
-
Malmstrom payroll schedules and PCS moves that disrupt billing patterns
-
Great Falls International Airport (GTF) travel crews, contractors, and vendors on tight timelines
-
The Missouri River corridor—construction seasons, weather delays, and change-orders
-
Schools and workforce pipelines from Great Falls College and the University of Providence
-
The steady pull of US-87/89 and regional routes where vendors “float” each other until someone breaks
-
Tourism and local foot traffic around attractions like the C.M. Russell Museum and riverfront events
Translation: you need recovery that’s firm—but not reckless.
Why cooperative mediation wins (and why arguing loses money)
Most unpaid balances aren’t “refusals.” They’re stalls, confusion, bruised pride, or competing priorities.
When you argue, you create a simple math problem for the debtor: “Who’s easiest to ignore?”
When you work with them—while staying firm—you become the creditor they choose to pay first.
That’s the Velvet Hammer approach:
-
Diplomatic tone that still lands deadlines
-
Clear options (pay-in-full, split-pay, short plan) instead of open-ended back-and-forth
-
No shame, no threats, no drama—which protects your online reputation
-
A litigation scrub mindset so you don’t chase the wrong account in the wrong way
We want the debtor thinking, “Let’s close this out,” not “Let’s go to war.”
Red Flag Box: 3 collection pitfalls we see around Great Falls
-
“We’re waiting on a check run” (that never arrives). Without a dated commitment, it’s just a lullaby.
-
Seasonal excuse loops (weather delays, job pauses, “after the next draw”). We set milestone payments tied to reality.
-
The “wrong person” trap (AP turnover, moved locations, “new manager”). We verify contacts and routes so you’re not stuck chasing ghosts.
A note from the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not here to “win” a phone call. We’re here to close the file without creating a second problem—bad reviews, angry counters, or messy escalation. Our calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue behavior and review-bomb risk. Calm voices. Clean documentation. Consistent follow-through.
Two recent recovery results (reputation-safe, realistic)
1) Medical balance resolved in Great Falls (patient-pay portion)
-
Situation: An outpatient visit left a $6,480 patient portion after insurance. The patient believed it was “still under review.”
-
Step 1: We verified contact details, then opened with a neutral “let’s clear up the status” call—no blame.
-
Step 2: We documented the dispute point, set a deadline for proof of appeal, and offered a short payment plan if the appeal wasn’t active.
-
Step 3: The patient chose a two-payment split and closed it out—no complaints, no public noise.
2) Business invoice recovered near Great Falls (regional vendor account)
-
Situation: A B2B vendor invoice of $9,930 sat in “AP backlog” for weeks at a company operating in a nearby city.
-
Step 1: We identified the real approver (not the generic AP inbox), then sent a clean summary: invoice, PO reference, and completion confirmation.
-
Step 2: We offered two off-ramps: pay now, or commit to a dated partial + final.
-
Step 3: They paid 40% immediately, then the remainder the following week—relationship intact, file closed.
Two fast $3K–$12K mini scenarios (concrete, local)
-
Great Falls | $3,240: A dental balance lingered after a treatment plan change. We framed it as “finish the paperwork, finish the balance,” set a 10-day window, and secured a same-month payoff.
-
Nearby city | $11,780: A restoration invoice stalled behind insurance paperwork. We coordinated status checkpoints, got a partial payment to stop the bleeding, then closed the remainder once the claim cleared.
Practical rules overview (not legal advice)
Here’s the “what matters” version:
-
Federal FDCPA + CFPB Debt Collection Rule (Reg F): prohibits harassment/deception; also sets practical guardrails like call-frequency presumptions.
-
FCRA: matters if credit reporting is used (only if you choose and if permitted).
-
TCPA: shapes when texts/calls are allowed—consent and opt-outs matter.
-
Montana basics: timelines can depend on the type of agreement; and if a judgment route is ever pursued, wage-garnishment limits apply.
Operationally, we also run USPS address checks, skip tracing, and a bankruptcy check so you don’t waste time—or step into avoidable risk.

FAQs (Great Falls edition)
Can you work accounts without blowing up our reviews?
Yes. The Velvet Hammer style is designed for that—firm boundaries, respectful tone, documented choices. Calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
Do you text or email debtors?
When appropriate and permitted. We follow consent/opt-out expectations and keep messaging minimal, factual, and professional.
We serve customers outside Great Falls—does that change anything?
Not much. Great Falls sits in a regional web (Helena, Havre, Fort Benton, and beyond). We adjust outreach cadence and verification steps based on where the debtor is and how that market communicates.
