Pricing That Makes “Start Now” Easy

  • Fixed-Fee: $15 per account — you keep 100% of what’s recovered

  • Contingency: 40% — no recovery, no fee

When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses and reduce the phone-tag spiral.

Money saver tip: Many clients can often treat our fixed-fee service as a Business Expense (after consulting their CPA), which can make it feel close to free.

The Most Expensive Collection Method: “We’ll Just Handle It”

In Lynchburg, teams run lean. Everyone is already doing a lot.

So when collections stay in-house, it quietly hijacks your best people:

  • your office manager becomes the collector “in between everything else”

  • your receptionist handles awkward follow-ups instead of the front desk

  • your crew leaders get pulled into payment conversations they never wanted

  • and the account keeps aging… which makes recovery harder

Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate. Earlier you assign, better recovery results are delivered, using our most amicable strategies. Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections which they obviously do not enjoy.

Why You Recover More by Working With the Debtor (Not Arguing Against Them)

Arguing makes a debtor defensive. Defensive debtors go silent. Silent debtors don’t pay.

Most past-due accounts aren’t “refusals.” They’re delays that got comfortable:

  • the invoice got buried

  • cash got tight for a month

  • somebody was embarrassed to respond

  • the decision-maker isn’t the person who received the bill

Our Velvet Hammer approach keeps the pressure real without turning it hostile:

  • Firm enough to secure action and commitment

  • Respectful & soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation

  • Clear enough that the debtor sees a simple path to finish this

We don’t aim for drama. We aim for momentum.

We also do a litigation scrub early to protect you from chasing riskier situations. That filter saves time, prevents headaches, and helps our recovery performance stay well above the industry average.

And yes—Spanish-speaking collectors are available, which often speeds up resolution and reduces misunderstandings that create delay.

Note from the Account Reconciliation Team

We don’t “talk tough.” We talk structured.

Our job is to take an overdue account and make it feel like a normal business task again:
confirm the facts → set clean options → track the plan → close it out.

That’s how you collect money while keeping your business name clean in a town where people run into each other again.

Lynchburg-Specific Reality: You Can’t “Out-Yell” the Calendar Here

Lynchburg has a unique blend of business types—healthcare, education, trades, and professional services—all moving at once.

That mix shows up everywhere:

  • commuter flow around Wards Road and the US-29/US-460 bypass

  • student and housing activity tied to Liberty University and the University of Lynchburg

  • healthcare volume around Centra Lynchburg General Hospital

  • quick regional travel through Lynchburg Regional Airport

  • outdoor and event traffic near the Blackwater Creek Trail and Percival’s Island by the James River

  • steady commercial movement up and down the Route 501 corridor

So here’s the truth: most debtors aren’t impressed by intensity.
They respond to consistency.

Think of collections like crossing one of Lynchburg’s river bridges: you don’t floor it and hope for the best. You stay in your lane, keep moving forward, and arrive without wrecking anything.

Red Flag Box: 3 Collection Mistakes Lynchburg Businesses Make

🚩 Waiting until you’re frustrated before assigning the account
By then, the best recovery window has cooled and the debtor has learned to stall.

🚩 Letting multiple staff members chase the same balance
Different voices and mixed tone = confusion, and confusion creates delay.

🚩 Turning one late invoice into a personal feud
That’s how you lose time, lose focus, and sometimes lose reputation—without gaining payment.

Practical Rules Summary (Not Legal Advice)

Collections have guardrails, and we stay inside them while keeping the pressure professional.

Key rules commonly involved include:

  • FDCPA (how and when debtors can be contacted, and what conduct is prohibited)

  • FCRA (credit reporting accuracy, if you choose and if permitted)

  • TCPA (rules affecting calls and texts)

  • Virginia consumer protection standards and court procedures that shape how disputes and judgments are handled

We also use smart safeguards to improve accuracy and reduce wasted effort:

  • address checks using USPS-style verification methods

  • skip tracing to locate updated contact points

  • bankruptcy checks to avoid prohibited collection activity

  • credit reporting if you choose and if permitted

To prevent rogue collectors and review-bomb risk, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
