Pricing That’s Simple (So You Can Move On)
Fixed-Fee Recovery: $15 per account — you keep 100% of what we collect.
Contingency Recovery: 40% — no recovery, no fee.
When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses. Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate — and earlier assignment almost always improves outcomes because debt doesn’t sit patiently. It gets prioritized lower and lower.
Also, your employees shouldn’t be turned into “accidental collectors.” They were hired to schedule, ship, treat, build, manage, and sell — not to spend afternoons chasing awkward conversations they don’t enjoy.
Bilingual collections: Spanish-speaking collectors are available, because sometimes the debt isn’t a refusal — it’s a communication gap.
Money saver tip: Many clients are able to offset the fixed-fee service as a business expense (after consulting their CPA), which can make the fixed-fee option feel close to free.
The Middletown Trick: The Debtor Might Not Be “Local” Anymore
Middletown accounts go sideways for a specific reason: people here move fast and travel often.
You might be billing someone connected to:
-
Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) and its surrounding business activity
-
the steady flow on PA-283 into Harrisburg and the broader region
-
nearby I-76 / PA Turnpike traffic that keeps vendors and crews rotating
-
Amtrak’s Middletown station on the Keystone route (yes, that matters for reachability)
-
Penn State Harrisburg student housing, campus services, and local vendor invoices
-
the Susquehanna River corridor where contractors and service companies stay booked
-
industrial work and logistics between Middletown, Harrisburg, and neighboring towns
So the classic problem is predictable: the job gets done, the service is delivered, the invoice gets “approved”… and then the payer becomes impossible to pin down.
Our job is to make your invoice feel non-optional again — without creating a scene.
Why Cooperative Mediation Wins More Money Than Confrontation
If you push too hard, you don’t get paid faster. You get ghosted faster.
Debtors pay the creditor who feels organized and reasonable, not the one who feels angry. That’s why we focus on cooperation first:
-
We give the debtor a clean, respectful path to resolution
-
We offer structured options (pay-in-full or plan) with specific dates
-
We follow a steady cadence that feels professional, not emotional
That’s the Velvet Hammer:
firm enough to create action, soft enough to protect your 5-star reputation.
We also perform a litigation scrub before pushing certain accounts forward. It’s not just about recovery — it’s about avoiding the wrong kind of debtor situation that wastes time and creates unnecessary risk.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t “hunt” people. We close loops.
We speak like professionals, we document everything, and we keep control of tone at all times.
The goal is simple: get the debtor to choose you first—without turning your brand into the villain.

Red Flag Box: 3 Middletown Mistakes That Keep Businesses Unpaid
🚩 “We don’t want to bother them.”
You’re not bothering them. You’re enforcing an agreement.
🚩 Letting your staff freestyle collections.
Different messages, different tones, different promises… it confuses debtors and weakens your position.
🚩 Chasing without verification.
Wrong address, stale phone, or bankruptcy issues can eat weeks before you realize the account wasn’t reachable.
Practical Rules Snapshot (Not Legal Advice)
Collections have rules, but effective recovery is still possible when it’s handled professionally and documented.
Key guardrails we follow:
-
FDCPA: no harassment, no deception, no unfair pressure
-
Regulation F: disciplined communication practices
-
FCRA: accuracy matters if credit reporting is used and permitted
-
TCPA: careful outreach rules, especially for calls/texts to mobile numbers
To keep things clean and efficient, we also do:
-
USPS address checks
-
skip tracing when info goes stale
-
bankruptcy screening to avoid chasing the wrong scenario
If you choose it (and if permitted), credit reporting can be discussed for the right type of account.
And to protect your reputation: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue behavior and reduce review-bomb risk.

FAQs
How soon should I send accounts to collections in Middletown?
When it’s clearly past due and your normal reminders aren’t working. Early placement usually means higher recovery and fewer disputes.
Do you work accounts tied to airport, travel, and commuter-heavy customers?
Yes — and those are often the accounts that benefit most from structured follow-up and verified contact details.
Will texting the debtor hurt my reputation?
When permitted, we use text as a convenience tool: short, polite, documented. Not pressure. It often speeds up the first response.
