Pricing (Simple, Upfront)
Fixed-Fee: $15 — we make 5 compliant contact attempts; you keep 100% of what gets recovered.
Contingency: 40% — no recovery, no fee (best when you want us to take over fully).
- When appropriate and permitted, we can also use email or text to speed up responses and reduce phone tag.
- And one honest truth: the earlier you assign an overdue account, the better the recovery outcome—because we can catch it while the debtor still has the ability (and pride) to pay.
- You hired your team to run operations, not to chase money all week. Let them do their real jobs.
- Spanish-speaking collectors are available when bilingual outreach helps close the gap.
Money Saver Tip (Quietly Smart)
Many clients are able to treat our fixed-fee service as a business expense after consulting their CPA—meaning the real cost can feel much lower than it looks on paper.
Why “Velvet Hammer” Recovery Works Better Than Pressure
Most unpaid accounts don’t start as “refusal.” They start as avoidance:
-
The buyer is embarrassed they’re behind
-
The office is disorganized
-
The project didn’t go as expected
-
They’re paying whoever screams the loudest
Arguing puts you in the “problem vendor” bucket.
We aim for the “reasonable partner” bucket — the one they want to clear first.
Our approach is firm enough to get attention, but respectful enough to protect your 5-star reputation:
-
We lead with a resolution path (not a threat)
-
We give structured options: pay in full, settle, or short plan
-
We keep the tone professional, so the debtor can say “yes” without losing face
This is the Velvet Hammer: clear boundaries, calm delivery, real results.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t win by “being loud.” We win by being consistent.
A clean message, repeated calmly, backed by documentation and deadlines, is what gets results in the Treasure Valley. When debtors realize you’re serious and fair, many choose to close the account just to stop it hanging over them.
Recent Recovery Results
1) Meridian Medical Balance (Patient Responsibility) — $1,740 recovered
A specialty clinic had a patient balance that kept getting delayed with “I’ll handle it next week.”
-
Step 1: We confirmed the address with USPS verification and validated the balance breakdown.
-
Step 2: We reached out diplomatically and offered two options: pay in full or 2-part plan.
-
Step 3: The patient chose the plan, paid the first installment immediately, and completed the remainder without escalation.
Result: paid without drama — and without turning the clinic into the villain.
2) Nearby Nampa Trade Vendor Invoice — $12,900 recovered
A contractor was owed for materials and labor; the debtor kept pushing back with “cash is tight.”
-
Step 1: We ran a bankruptcy + litigation scrub to avoid wasting time on a high-risk path.
-
Step 2: We documented the approval trail, then opened a calm negotiation: “What can you do this week?”
-
Step 3: Debtor paid a meaningful first payment, then cleared the remainder on a short schedule to avoid formal escalation.
Result: vendor got paid, relationship stayed intact, and the contractor stopped burning payroll hours chasing updates.
Meridian “Red Flags” That Quietly Kill Recovery
Red Flag #1: Waiting too long.
Every week late increases excuses and decreases urgency.
Red Flag #2: Letting the dispute balloon.
One missing invoice detail becomes “we don’t owe it.”
Red Flag #3: Unfiltered staff follow-ups.
Ten emotional calls can create one angry review.
Our Safeguards and Tools (Built for Real-World Meridian Situations)
Because Meridian is a growth city, people move, offices expand, and admin gets messy. We bring structure:
-
USPS address checks to reduce dead-end outreach
-
Skip tracing when a debtor relocates across the Boise metro
-
Bankruptcy checks to prevent wasted effort and protect your next steps
-
Optional credit reporting (only if you choose and if permitted)
-
Email/text outreach when appropriate and allowed
And for quality control: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors, sloppy tone, and the kind of “review-bomb” risk businesses fear.
Rules That Matter (Practical, Not Legal Advice)
Collections works best when you stay inside the lines:
-
Federal FDCPA rules apply to consumer-style debts and prohibit harassment, deceptive statements, and improper contact behavior.
-
State-level rules generally require honest dealing: no false legal threats, no misleading “government” language, and no made-up documents.
-
Documentation matters. If a balance is disputed, you must be able to support what’s owed.
We stay professional, keep a clean paper trail, and focus on outcomes—not theatrics. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
FAQs
Can you recover balances when the debtor moved from Meridian to Boise, Eagle, or Star?
Yes. Growth in the Treasure Valley means frequent moves. We use address verification and skip tracing to keep the account active instead of going cold.
Do you work with clinics and dental offices near major Meridian corridors?
Yes — and we keep outreach diplomatic. Medical/dental accounts often require extra care to protect trust and reputation.
Will you overwhelm my customer with calls and risk a bad review?
No. Our process is measured and documented. Calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to maintain standards.
