Pricing That Keeps It Simple (and Cost-Effective)
Fixed-Fee: $15 (you keep 100%)
Best for newer accounts you want resolved quickly and professionally.
Contingency: 40% (no recovery, no fee)
Best for older balances where the customer delays, dodges, or disappears.
When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses and reduce phone tag.
Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate — and the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, especially using our most amicable strategies.
Let your employees do core work they were hired for, instead of collections (which they obviously do not enjoy).
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients offset the fixed-fee by treating it as a Business Expense after consulting their CPA.
The Velvet Hammer Difference: Controlled, Diplomatic, Consistent
Some collection styles create noise. Noise creates pushback. Pushback creates delays.
We do the opposite.
Our collection style is firm enough to secure payment, but respectful and soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation. That matters in Klamath Falls, where people talk, reviews stick, and professional relationships overlap.
Here’s why our recovery rates are way higher than industry average:
-
We reduce excuses with clear documentation and clean recaps
-
We offer workable options that move debtors into action (instead of defensiveness)
-
We follow a consistent cadence that doesn’t “spike and disappear”
-
We add a litigation scrub to protect you from pushing the wrong accounts in risky directions
This isn’t about being “nice.” It’s about being effective without blowback.
Why You Recover More by Working With the Debtor (Not Arguing)
Arguing feels satisfying for five minutes… and then the invoice sits another 60 days.
Debtors don’t pay the bill that’s loudest.
They pay the bill that feels easiest to finish.
So we build a path that keeps the debtor cooperative:
-
Clarity: what’s owed, why it’s owed, what closes it
-
Choice: pay in full or a short plan (simple options, not endless back-and-forth)
-
Deadline: a real decision date, so the account doesn’t drift
You get paid faster. Your business stays professional. Nobody ends up trying to “win” a conversation.
Two Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe)
1) Medical Recovery — Klamath Falls Patient Balance
Situation: A patient balance stayed stuck in the “I’ll handle it next week” loop. The clinic didn’t want tense conversations at the front desk or complaint risk.
What happened (2–3 steps):
-
We ran USPS address checks + skip tracing to confirm we weren’t chasing outdated contact info.
-
We opened with a calm call, then used a brief text follow-up when permitted offering two resolution options (pay-in-full or short plan).
-
We set firm dates and sent polite reminders—no guilt language, no threats, just steady closure.
Result: The plan completed quietly, and the clinic got paid without reputation damage.
2) Business Recovery — Nearby City (Merrill Area) B2B Invoice
Situation: A commercial invoice was “approved” verbally but kept getting delayed by processing, staffing gaps, and excuses.
What happened (2–3 steps):
-
We confirmed there was no real dispute—just slow-walk behavior—through a professional mediation call.
-
We sent a same-day recap email: scope summary, amount due, and a clean pay-by deadline.
-
We held a respectful boundary: “We’ll pause action until Friday. After that, we move this forward.”
Result: A partial payment landed first, the remainder cleared shortly after, and the relationship stayed intact.
🚩 Red Flag Box: 3 Collection Mistakes We See in Klamath Falls Businesses
1) Waiting because the customer is “usually good.”
Good customers still stall. Early action prevents bad habits.
2) Letting multiple employees chase the same balance.
It creates mixed messages and gives debtors room to delay.
3) Resending invoices without a decision deadline.
A deadline creates movement. Endless reminders create procrastination.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’ve seen how unpaid accounts quietly drain a business: someone dreads the follow-up calls, promises slip, and suddenly your receivables start aging across the board. We step in to keep things calm, documented, and consistent—so your team can stay focused on service, patients, projects, and growth.
And to prevent rogue behavior and review-bomb risk, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.

FAQs (Local + Useful)

Yes. The tone stays respectful, but we lean more on documentation, clear deadlines, and simple options to avoid relationship fallout.
2) Can text messages help if someone ignores calls?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text and email often reduce phone tag and get faster commitments.

Earlier wins more often. Once the invoice feels old, you become optional. Assign sooner for better recovery results.
