Simple pricing that keeps you in control
-
Fixed-fee $15 (you keep 100% of what’s recovered)
-
Contingency 40% (no recovery, no fee)
When appropriate and permitted, we’ll use email or text to speed up responses. A collection agency typically improves recovery odds—the earlier you assign, the better the results, especially with amicable outreach. We also have Spanish-speaking collectors on board.
Money-saver tip: Many clients can effectively offset the fixed-fee by treating it as a business expense—after checking with their CPA.
Why “arguing” loses money in Greenville
Here’s the truth: most debtors don’t pay the loudest voice first. They pay the option that feels doable and safe. If you corner someone with threats or humiliation, you don’t create urgency—you create avoidance.
Our “Velvet Hammer” approach is firm enough to secure payment and soft enough to protect your 5-star reputation. We aim for cooperation first—because cooperation keeps the debtor willing to prioritize you over everyone else in their inbox.
We also run a litigation scrub and bankruptcy checks to avoid chasing accounts that may carry higher risk. If the debt file is thin, we’ll tell you—because in North Carolina, clean documentation wins conversations.
Note from the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t “push” a debtor into paying. We guide them there. We start with facts (what’s owed, what was delivered, what was agreed), then we offer a realistic path to resolution. The tone matters. The timing matters. And yes—every call is recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collector behavior and the review-bomb risk that comes with it.
Two recent, reputation-safe recoveries
Medical recovery (Greenville): $1,840 patient balance
-
We confirmed the ledger, dates of service, and the statement trail, then performed address checks using USPS verification tools.
-
We sent a respectful outreach sequence (letter + optional text) that focused on “resolve this quietly” and offered a split payment option.
-
The patient responded, disputed one line item, we reconciled it with the practice, and the remaining balance was paid in two installments—no drama, no public fallout.
Business recovery (nearby Winterville): $9,620 B2B invoice
-
The client had a signed work authorization and invoice history, but the debtor kept saying “send it again.” We consolidated the file into a single clean packet (PO/work order, completion confirmation, invoices).
-
We opened with cooperative mediation: “Let’s match records and close this.” The debtor admitted the work was accepted but claimed cash pressure.
-
We negotiated a short schedule: partial payment immediately, remaining amount over a few weeks. Paid in full—without threats, without courtroom language, without burning the relationship.
Local “red flags” that quietly wreck recovery
Red Flag Box — Three pitfalls we see around Greenville
-
Handshake work + missing paperwork: Common with trades and small vendors. If it isn’t documented, the debtor can stall forever.
-
Too many internal voices: When accounting, sales, and operations all message the debtor, you lose leverage and create confusion.
-
Waiting until “after the next season”: Whether it’s a slow quarter or a busy campus cycle, delays reduce odds—especially for smaller balances.
Laws that shape collections in North Carolina
Not legal advice—just practical guardrails.
-
Federal baseline (FDCPA + related rules): No harassment, no deception, no unfair pressure tactics. Rules also shape how and when you can communicate, including limits designed to prevent excessive calling.
-
North Carolina-specific rules: The state has statutes addressing prohibited debt collection conduct (including threats/coercion, harassment, and deceptive practices). These can apply to consumer-facing collection behavior and are a common reason businesses avoid DIY collections.
-
Smart verification steps: We use address checks (USPS tools), skip tracing, and bankruptcy checks. Credit reporting can be used if you choose and if permitted/appropriate for the account type and facts.

FAQs
Do you work with Greenville businesses that want to stay “low profile”?
Yes. Many clients here prefer a quiet resolution—especially medical practices and local service companies. We lead with respectful mediation and controlled communication.
What should I gather before placing a B2B account?
Invoice(s), signed estimate/work authorization or PO, proof of delivery/completion, and your payment terms. If it’s a service job, photos, timestamps, or completion confirmations help.
Can you text the debtor?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text can reduce delays—especially when a debtor ignores calls but responds to a simple “Let’s settle this today” message.
