Why Memphis Firms Change to Us (and stay)
- More net back: start light with fixed-fee touches on newer balances, escalate only if needed.
- Reputation intact: polite, compliant conversations—firm, never abrasive.
- Cleaner lists, fewer disputes: bankruptcy scans, litigious-debtor flags, and address hygiene are standard.
- Switching that pays: many clients arrive from other vendors and see faster acknowledgments, steadier follow-through, and clearer reporting.
How We Work (field-tested, traceable)
Practical guidance, not legal advice. We tailor to your facts and the latest rules.
- Place accounts via our secure portal (CSV/API/manual).
- Plan the right entry step by age/amount/dispute risk.
- Engage with respectful letters/calls and compliant digital where permitted.
- Payday: Steps 1–2 route payments directly to you; Step 3 is no recovery, no fee with clear monthly remits.
Service Types & Pricing (start where it fits)
- Step 1 — First-Party Courtesy Reminders (Fixed-Fee)
Five friendly nudges for 0–60 day balances, sent as if from you. Typical fee: $15/account. - Step 2 — Third-Party Written Demands (Fixed-Fee)
Five professional letters; selective digital touches where allowed. Typical fee: $15/account. - Step 3 — Full Third-Party Collections (Contingency)
Polite phone + digital, realistic plans, sensible settlements. Typical fee: 40% (No recovery, No Fee). - Step 4 — Legal Collections (Contingency, client-approved)
Attorney escalation only after review; nominal filing fees initiated by you and reimbursed upon recovery. Typical fee: 50% (No recovery, No Fee).
Always included: bankruptcy screen, litigious-debtor check, latest-address check. Credit reporting available if you want and if the law permits.
Pro tip: Under-120-day invoices resolve fastest—don’t let them age.
Recent Memphis Patterns We See
- Healthcare corridors (Poplar/East Memphis): self-pay balances respond to reminder-tone Steps 1–2; one in two recent accounts closes without escalation.
- Professional services (Downtown/Midtown/Crosstown): older invoices improve when Step 3 pairs outreach with short, affordable installments.
- Memberships, trades & contractors (Germantown Pkwy/Wolfchase/Southaven): short, respectful follow-ups deliver steady clears month after month.

Tennessee Collection Laws in Short
- Statute of limitations: many written-contract claims generally allow several years to sue in TN (often about six for written contracts). We screen for time-barred status and use appropriate disclosures before any voluntary-payment talk.
- Garnishment/levy: requires a court judgment and is limited by exemptions; we favor cooperative plans first.
- Add-ons: we seek only contract-permitted or legally allowed interest/fees—verified up front.
- Licensing & conduct: third-party activity follows Tennessee licensing standards and federal communication rules.
Reputation Protection (built-in)
- No-drama scripting: calm, options-first language.
- Dispute-pause protocol: we stop and validate before any next step.
- Sensitive handling: workplace limits, bereavement, and language access respected.
