Pricing That Keeps You in Control
Fixed-Fee: $15 (you keep 100%)
Best for newer accounts where a professional nudge can close it fast.
Contingency: 40% (no recovery, no fee)
Best for older balances where the debtor delays, dodges, or goes silent.
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, using our most amicable strategies.
Let your employees do the core work they were hired for, rather than making them do collections (which they obviously do not enjoy).
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients can often get our fixed-fee service “for free” by declaring it as a Business Expense after consulting their CPA.
The “Interchange Problem”: One Delay Creates Five More
Mechanicsburg runs like a highway interchange. When one lane shuts down, everything backs up.
Unpaid receivables work the same way:
One stuck invoice becomes a staffing issue. Then it becomes a purchasing delay. Then it turns into you postponing growth decisions because cash feels uncertain.
Most past-due accounts aren’t a dramatic dispute. They’re a slow drift of excuses:
-
“We’re waiting on AP.”
-
“Resend the invoice again.”
-
“The owner is out this week.”
-
“We’ll include it in the next run.”
Our job is to stop the drift — without turning it into conflict.
Why You Recover More by Working With the Debtor (Not Fighting Them)
Arguing feels like “taking control.” In reality, it creates resistance.
The debtor’s brain hears an argument as permission to delay:
“If they’re emotional, this is going to be messy… I’ll deal with it later.”
The Velvet Hammer approach does the opposite.
We use a diplomatic style that is firm enough to secure payment but respectful and soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
-
Clarity, not lectures: a clean recap of what’s owed and why
-
Two simple options: pay-in-full or a short plan
-
A real deadline: decision date that creates movement
-
Consistent follow-up: calm cadence instead of aggressive spikes
We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from collecting from riskier people in risky ways.
And yes — our recovery rates are way higher than industry average because we keep it structured, professional, and steady. That’s how you win more accounts without burning relationships.
✅ Two Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe)
1) Medical Recovery — Mechanicsburg Area Patient Balance
Situation: A patient balance kept hovering with “I’ll handle it next payday.” The clinic didn’t want front-desk staff stuck in awkward conversations or review drama.
What happened (2–3 steps):
-
We ran USPS address checks and skip tracing to confirm we had the best contact path (no wasted outreach).
-
We opened with a calm call, then used a short follow-up message when permitted: two resolution choices with a simple timeline.
-
We set fixed plan dates and stayed consistent with reminders—no guilt tactics, no threats, just closure.
Result: The plan completed smoothly, and clinic staff stayed focused on care instead of collections.
2) Business Recovery — Nearby City (Carlisle Area) B2B Invoice
Situation: A vendor invoice got stuck in the “AP approval loop.” No dispute, no complaint — just delay and silence.
What happened (2–3 steps):
-
A professional mediation call confirmed it wasn’t a service issue, just internal bottlenecks.
-
Same-day email recap: scope summary, dates, amount due, and a firm pay-by deadline.
-
A polite boundary: “We can pause action until Friday. After that, we move this forward.”
Result: A partial payment arrived first, and the remainder cleared shortly after — relationship intact.
🚩 Red Flag Box: 3 Collection Mistakes Mechanicsburg Businesses Make
1) Resending invoices without setting a decision date.
A deadline creates action. Endless reminders create procrastination.
2) Having too many employees chase the same account.
It creates mixed messages and gives the debtor room to stall.
3) Letting frustration leak into one message.
One heated voicemail can trigger complaints or review-bomb risk. Professional tone wins more often.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We see what unpaid accounts do to good teams: someone “tries one more time,” gets ignored, tries again, and slowly starts dreading it. Then the balance ages, and your chances drop.
We step in with calm pressure and clean documentation so your staff can focus on actual work — not chasing money.
To prevent rogue behavior and review-bomb risk, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
Local Anchors We Know (Because Context Changes Outcomes)
Mechanicsburg collections aren’t the same as big-city collections — your market has its own rhythm:
-
Carlisle Pike business flow and the constant “move fast” tempo
-
The I-81 / I-83 / Capital Beltway movement where vendors expect quick cycles
-
Proximity to Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) and travel-based payment delays
-
Healthcare gravity from UPMC West Shore and Penn State Health Hampden Medical Center nearby
-
Neighboring hubs like Camp Hill and Harrisburg metro work routes
-
Logistics-heavy corridors where invoices are frequent and margins are tight
-
A reputation-conscious market where professionalism matters more than volume

FCRA: credit reporting is an option if you choose and if permitted for the account type

FAQs (Local + Straight Answers)
1) We serve Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, and Carlisle. Should we change the tone by area?
The tone stays respectful, but the strategy shifts. B2B-heavy accounts respond better to documentation + deadlines; consumer balances respond best to simple options and calm follow-through.
2) Can you use text messages to speed up payment?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text and email can reduce phone tag and shorten resolution time.
3) When should we assign a past-due account?
Earlier is usually better. The longer an invoice sits, the more “optional” it becomes. Assign sooner for stronger recovery results.
