Transparent Recovery Pricing
We believe in protecting your margins before we ever place a call. Our two-tier pricing model is designed to be the most cost-effective solution in Contra Costa County:
-
Fixed-Fee Recovery ($15 per Account): Ideal for early-stage delinquency. You pay a flat $15 fee, and every cent recovered is paid directly to you. You keep 100% of the principal.
-
Contingency-Based Service (20%–40%): For aged or high-resistance debt, we work on a performance basis. If we don’t recover your money, you don’t pay us a dime. No recovery, no fee.
Contact Nexa to determine which tier fits your current aging report.
The Oakley Advantage: A Note from Your Reconciliation Concierges
At Nexa, we view ourselves as an extension of your front office. We understand that in a family-oriented community like Oakley—where your clients are often the same people you see at the Big Break Regional Shoreline or local youth sports—traditional “shout-and-pout” tactics are a liability. We don’t demand; we reconcile. By acting as Account Reconciliation Concierges, we identify the “why” behind the non-payment, whether it’s a billing dispute or a simple oversight, and solve it with professional empathy.
To protect your local brand, we record all calls and perform random quality reviews. This prevents “rogue collectors” from engaging in behavior that could lead to a “review-bomb” against your practice or firm. In the Current landscape, your online reputation is as valuable as your cash flow; we defend both.

Regulatory Brief: California Collection Laws
Navigating debt in the Current California landscape requires a surgical understanding of the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
-
AB 1521 Update: As of the Current cycle, California law officially defines and excludes “trade credit” from the strict SB 1286 commercial rules. This allows B2B suppliers to move more confidently on their recovery efforts without being regulated like payday lenders.
-
Medical Debt Transparency: Current rules prohibit reporting medical debt to credit bureaus, making the “Concierge” mediation approach the most effective way to secure voluntary payment.
-
Statute of Limitations: California law generally maintains a four-year limit on written contracts. Moving an account to a professional third party after 90 days significantly raises your probability of recovery.
Red Flag: Oakley Collection Pitfalls
-
Ignoring “Trade Credit” Nuances: Treating a B2B supplier invoice like a payday loan can trigger unintentional violations.
-
Statute Delay: Waiting too long in a fast-growth market like Oakley often leads to “disappearing” contractors.
-
Aggressive Tone: In a town where community reputation is king, one “shout-and-pout” call can lead to a viral review-bomb.
