Why Milwaukee Teams Switch to Us
- Lower cost to recover: use fixed-fee nudges (~$15/account) on fresher balances; escalate only when needed.
- Brand-safe by design: polite, compliant conversations that keep customers and patients with you.
- Cleaner files, fewer headaches: bankruptcy screens, litigious-debtor flags, and address hygiene included.
- Operational clarity: real-time status and notes your AR and partners can act on—no guesswork.
- When you’ve tried others: our cadence delivers steadier acknowledgments and follow-through.
How We Work
(Practical guidance, not legal advice. We tailor to your facts and the latest rules.)
- Place accounts via secure portal (CSV/API/manual).
- Pick the entry step with our guidance (age, balance, dispute risk).
- We engage with respectful letters/calls and compliant digital where permitted.
- You get paid: Steps 1–2 route funds directly to you; Step 3 is no recovery, no fee with clean monthly remits.
Service Types & Pricing
- Step 1 — First-Party Courtesy Reminders (Fixed-Fee)
Five friendly reminders 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; measured digital touches where allowed. Typical Fee: $15/account. - Step 3 — Full Third-Party Collections (Contingency)
Polite phone + digital, realistic plans, practical 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.
Low-cost recovery: Steps 1–2 shine on newer accounts—don’t let them age.
Recent Milwaukee Patterns (what actually works)
- Healthcare & dental (Froedtert/Aurora corridors, East Side/Wauwatosa): reminder-tone Steps 1–2 clear many self-pay balances; most never need escalation.
- B2B & professional services (Downtown/Third Ward/I-94/I-43 corridors): older invoices resolve when Step 3 pairs outreach with short, scheduled installments.
- Memberships, trades & property (Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, Oak Creek): steady month-after-month closes through brief, respectful follow-ups.

Wisconsin Collection Law — Very Brief (what actually impacts you)
- Statute of limitations (many written contracts): commonly 6 years. We screen for time-barred status and handle disclosures before any voluntary payment discussions.
- Garnishment: available only after judgment and limited by state exemptions (Wisconsin’s caps are generally tighter than many states). We lean on cooperative plans first.
- Add-on charges: we seek only what your contract or law allows (interest/fees verified before the first touch).
- Conduct & licensing: communications follow federal standards and Wisconsin consumer-collection rules; disclosures and recordkeeping are built in.
Reputation Protection (how we keep doors open)
- Calm, options-first scripting on every touchpoint.
- Dispute-pause protocol: we stop and validate before any next step.
- Workplace & privacy respect: thoughtful timing, channel choice, and documentation.

- Can we start at Step 3? Yes—common for older or higher-balance files.
