Pricing That Fits Real-World Businesses

Fixed-Fee Recovery — $15
You keep 100% of what we collect. Best for newer invoices and smaller balances.

Contingency Recovery — 40%
No recovery, no fee. Best for older accounts, larger balances, or repeat “next Friday” offenders.

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 results, because we start with the most amicable strategies first. Let your employees do the work they were hired for, rather than doing collections (which they obviously do not enjoy). We also have Spanish-speaking collectors on board.

Money saver tip: Many clients treat the fixed-fee option as a business expense (after confirming with their CPA), which often makes it feel close to free.

Why “Polite Pressure” Beats “Loud Pressure” Every Time

Kent is a systems city. Logistics, production lines, delivery windows—everything works because someone built a process that doesn’t rely on emotions.

Debt recovery should work the same way.

If you argue with a debtor, you get delays, excuses, and silence.
If you guide them with structure, you get decisions.

Our Velvet Hammer method does three things very well:

  • Keeps the debtor calm (calm people finish tasks)

  • Keeps the timeline firm (firm timelines create priority)

  • Keeps your brand safe (no harsh language, no review-bait behavior)

We also do a litigation scrub before pushing hard, so you’re less likely to waste time chasing accounts that are riskier than they look. That’s one reason our recovery rates stay higher than industry average: we don’t just “try harder.” We collect smarter.

Red Flag Box: 3 Kent Collection Mistakes That Quietly Kill Recovery

1) Letting the balance sit while you stay “nice.”
Being professional is good. Being passive is expensive. Older accounts don’t get easier.

2) Treating collections like a side quest for your staff.
Your dispatcher, admin, office manager, or billing team shouldn’t be dragged into tense money conversations. It burns time and mood—fast.

3) Assuming you’re reaching the right contact.
In a fast-moving market like Kent—where people change numbers, emails, and locations—bad data creates dead ends. We use USPS address checks and skip tracing to keep momentum.

The “Conveyor Belt” Approach: One Account In, One Resolution Out

Kent Valley businesses understand this: if a conveyor belt keeps stopping, the whole facility pays for it.

So we keep collections moving with predictable steps:

Step 1: Clean up the file
Confirm balance, debtor identity, responsible party, and best contact routes.

Step 2: Start diplomatic (not timid)
We open with respectful contact that makes payment feel possible, without sounding optional.

Step 3: Give two payment paths
One clear ask, two choices: resolve today, or commit to a short plan with dates.

Step 4: Tighten the structure if needed
If they stall, we don’t get rude—we get more exact. Shorter timelines, clearer expectations.

And to protect you: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors and reduce review-bomb risk.

Recent Recovery Results

Medical balance resolved (Kent area)

A local clinic had multiple patient balances sitting in “we’ll pay soon” territory. Staff were uncomfortable following up repeatedly, and accounts were aging.
What happened next:

  1. We verified the right contact details and sent a short resolution notice with clear options

  2. We followed with calm phone outreach (and text only when permitted) focused on finishing, not blaming

  3. Patient chose a short plan and completed early once the process felt organized
    Outcome: recovery closed out cleanly, clinic staff stopped losing hours to awkward calls, and there was no reputation fallout.

Commercial invoice recovered (nearby: Auburn / Tukwila corridor)

A B2B vendor delivered product tied to a deadline, then the buyer started hiding behind “internal approvals.”
What happened next:

  1. We confirmed the true decision-maker and ran a risk check before escalating

  2. We offered a simple split: pay-now closeout discount or two scheduled payments with firm dates

  3. We used email for documentation and brief calls for commitment—no theatrics
    Outcome: first payment landed quickly, second cleared on schedule, and the vendor didn’t have to burn the relationship to get paid.

A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team

We don’t collect by scaring people. We collect by reducing confusion.
When a debtor understands exactly what to do next—and believes the timeline is real—payments happen. We stay calm, firm, and consistent until the balance is closed, so you get your money without damaging your name.

Kent Anchors We Build Around (Because Local Timing Matters)

Kent is built for movement, and we adjust outreach accordingly—especially around:

  • the distribution and manufacturing pulse in the Kent Valley

  • commuter and freight patterns on SR-167 and I-5

  • air and travel-connected businesses near Seattle–Tacoma International Airport

  • high-visibility local gathering points like accesso ShoWare Center

  • healthcare and patient billing realities tied to clinics near Kent Station

  • the broader South King County business flow between Kent, Auburn, and Tukwila

This is not generic “call and hope.” It’s locally-aware recovery.

Practical Rules We Follow (Not Legal Advice)

Collections must be firm and fair.

We follow key guardrails like:

  • Federal FDCPA standards (no harassment, no deception, no improper threats)

  • Federal FCRA rules if you choose credit reporting and it’s permitted

  • Washington’s Collection Agency Act (RCW 19.16) and related consumer protections

We also use proven tools to keep the account clean:

  • USPS address checks

  • skip tracing when needed

  • bankruptcy checks before pushing the wrong file

  • optional credit reporting only when requested and allowed

FAQs

When should I place an overdue account in Kent?
When it’s clearly past due and your internal reminders aren’t working. Early placement means we can stay amicable while still collecting more.

Will this trigger negative reviews or angry backlash?
That’s what the Velvet Hammer is designed to prevent. Calls are recorded and randomly reviewed, and we keep communication respectful and controlled.

Do you work with Spanish-speaking debtors?
Yes. Spanish-speaking collectors are available, and bilingual outreach often increases cooperation.
