Cost-Effective Recovery: The $15 Fixed Fee vs. Contingency
We believe you shouldn’t have to gamble your remaining profit to recover what is already yours. We offer two distinct paths tailored to the age of your debt:
-
Fixed Fee ($15 per account): Our “First-Party” approach. The money is paid directly to you. It is ideal for accounts 60-90 days past due where a professional, third-party nudge is all that’s needed to resolve “administrative confusion.”
-
Contingency Service (20%–40%): Our “Third-Party” approach for older, more stubborn debt. This is a No Recovery, No Fee model. If we don’t put money back in your pocket, you owe us nothing.
The “Velvet Hammer” Philosophy: Your Reputation Shield
In a tight-knit community like Petaluma, word travels fast. A heavy-handed collection agency can “review-bomb” your business and destroy years of patient or client trust in a single afternoon. At Nexa, we utilize The Velvet Hammer branding—an approach that is firm on the balance but soft on the person.
We position our mediators as “Account Reconciliation Concierges.” Rather than calling to demand cash, we reach out to help your customers navigate billing confusion, insurance gaps, or timing issues. To ensure absolute quality control, we record all calls and perform random reviews. This guarantees that no rogue collector ever damages your standing in Sonoma County.
Local Recovery Strategies for Petaluma Industries
Petaluma’s economy is a unique blend of heritage agriculture, North Bay tech, and a robust professional sector. We adapt our outreach to fit these specific local contexts:
-
Healthcare & Medical: From specialty clinics to private practices, we offer 100% HIPAA-compliant recovery. We understand that in the North Bay, the patient relationship is as important as the clinical outcome. We bridge the gap between “care” and “billing.”
-
Manufacturing & Logistics: Serving the business parks along the Highway 101 corridor. We specialize in B2B recovery for Petaluma’s diverse manufacturing base, ensuring your “Net-30” or “Net-60” terms are respected.
-
Dental Practices: Orthodontics and general dentistry rely on repeat patients. Our “Account Concierge” model ensures that a past-due cleaning bill doesn’t prevent a patient from returning for future care.
-
Construction & Trades: Revenue recovery for HVAC, electrical, and general contractors working on Petaluma’s historic renovations and new developments. We secure your payments so you can focus on the job site.
-
Accountants & CPA Firms: We manage professional service fees with mediation that understands the delicate nature of the “trusted advisor” relationship.
-
K-12 Private & Charter Schools: Managing unpaid enrollment fees with a sensitive, diplomatic approach tailored for Petaluma’s growing school-choice landscape.
-
Colleges & Universities: Specializing in tuition fee recovery and housing balances. We balance firm tactics with the need to preserve institutional reputation.
-
Banks & Credit Unions: Handling delinquent consumer loans and overdrawn accounts using aggressive but compliant recovery protocols.
-
Restoration, Pool, & Landscaping: We recover funds for contractors who have already invested labor and materials, ensuring their hard work results in realized profit.
Current California Debt Collection Realities
California remains one of the most strictly regulated environments for debt recovery in the United States. Navigating the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (RFDCPA) is mandatory for any Petaluma business. Current state rules focus heavily on:
-
Strict Notice Requirements: Debtors must be given specific written disclosures before any aggressive action is taken.
-
Privacy Protections: California law extends federal protections, requiring absolute discretion when contacting third parties or employers.
-
The “Current” Economy: With the North Bay facing shifting cost-of-living index numbers, our conciliatory approach is more effective than traditional “demand-based” models.
Recent Recovery Results in the North Bay

-
Commercial Manufacturing Firm: A local logistics provider was “ghosted” on an invoice for $6,850. Our Step 2 (Contingency) team located the decision-maker, resolved a hidden shipping dispute, and secured a full settlement in three weeks.
