Direct Recovery Costs: The Lombard Standard
In the Current economy, waiting for payment is a hidden tax on your growth. We provide two transparent pathways to restore your liquidity with zero guesswork:
-
The $15 Fixed-Fee Acceleration: Perfect for early-stage accounts. Pay a one-time fee of fifteen dollars, we handle the diplomatic outreach via our “Account Reconciliation Concierges,” and you keep 100% of the recovered funds.
-
Performance-Based Contingency: For older or more stubborn balances, we work on a 20%–40% model. Our promise is absolute: No recovery, no fee.
Involving a professional agency significantly improves your recovery rate; the earlier you assign a file, the better the results. We utilize Current communication streams, including coordinated email and SMS text where possible, to engage debtors with speed and precision. Contact Nexa to anchor your receivables. This partnership allows your employees to stay focused on the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections—a task that kills staff morale and pulls them away from high-value projects.
The “Lilac Roots” Metaphor: Strength Through Softness
Think of our “Velvet Hammer” approach like the famous lilacs of Lilacia Park. A lilac bush survives the harsh Illinois winters because its wood is firm and resilient, yet its bloom is soft and inviting. If we approached your debtors with only a heavy hammer, the relationship would shatter. Instead, we use a firm, persistent structure (the wood) paired with a respectful, empathetic outreach (the bloom). This balance ensures the debtor has the will to pay you first than others, as we resolve the friction without bruising your 5-star online reputation.
Note from the Reconciliation Concierges
“We view ourselves as the ‘shock absorbers’ for your business operations. In Lombard, where today’s delinquent debtor might be tomorrow’s fellow patron at The Westin or a neighbor near the Lombard Common, a heavy-handed collector is a strategic liability. As your Account Reconciliation Concierges, we act as a firm but empathetic extension of your office. We handle the awkward conversations so you can maintain the friendship of the long-term customer.”
Red Flag Box: 3 Lombard Collection Pitfalls
-
The “Metra” Transience: With the Union Pacific West Line running through the heart of town, residents often move within the Tri-State area frequently. Without Current skip-tracing, your notices might be hitting empty mailboxes.
-
The “Net-90” Normalization: High-value industrial and tech firms in the DuPage corridor often attempt to turn their vendors into unofficial creditors. We reset these expectations through professional intervention.
-
The Handshake Haze: In a town with deep-rooted “neighborly” values, many B2B deals are finalized without rigid Current written terms. We bridge the gap between informal agreements and professional settlements.
Why Cooperative Mediation Recovers More
Traditional agencies rely on conflict, but conflict triggers avoidance. If you argue with a debtor, they instinctively retreat or prioritize other bills just to avoid the stress of the interaction. Our “Velvet Hammer” style is firm enough to secure payment but respectful enough to protect your brand. To further insulate you from risk, every file undergoes a rigorous litigation scrub. This identifies “professional plaintiffs” who intentionally bait businesses into technical errors to trigger lawsuits. Combined with USPS address checks, skip tracing, and bankruptcy scrubs, we ensure you aren’t attempting to collect from riskier people.
