Straightforward Pricing (No Games)
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 — the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, using our most amicable strategies.
Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections which they obviously do not enjoy. Collections done “after hours” becomes inconsistent, stressful, and expensive.
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients are able to offset our fixed-fee service by treating it as a business expense after confirming with their CPA. For some businesses, that makes the $15 option feel close to free.
Why Port Angeles Accounts Go Quiet (Even With “Nice People”)
Port Angeles is a port town with a small-town memory. People care about relationships.
That’s exactly why unpaid balances can linger — nobody wants to be “the bad guy.”
We see past-due invoices happen for very Port Angeles reasons:
-
payers who travel for work and keep pushing payment to “after the next trip” (especially around the Coho ferry terminal)
-
seasonal surges tied to Olympic National Park gateway traffic and waterfront tourism
-
project work that runs long when crews are stretched across the peninsula
-
accounts tied to shipping, storage, and marine services near the Port of Port Angeles
-
check-cutting delayed because decision-makers are out on the road along US-101
-
medical balances from Olympic Medical Center and nearby specialty referrals
-
small aviation and business travel through William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM)
Here’s the pattern: nobody says “no.” They just stop saying anything.
Port-town metaphor: unpaid invoices act like fog off the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
If you don’t switch on the lighthouse early, things don’t get clearer… they drift.
The Quiet Move That Collects More: Cooperative Mediation
Arguing doesn’t create payment. It creates resistance.
You recover more when the debtor feels:
-
respected enough to respond
-
guided into a simple choice
-
confident the situation won’t become embarrassing
-
clear on what happens next
That’s why our Velvet Hammer approach stays firm enough to secure payment, but soft enough to protect your 5-star reputation.
What it looks like in practice:
-
a clean first outreach that gets a reply (not a fight)
-
two options: close today or short plan
-
deadlines that don’t sound threatening — but don’t move
-
follow-up that’s consistent and professional, never emotional
We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from collecting debt from riskier people. Some accounts need a softer touch. Some need tighter documentation. We handle that without turning your balance into a legal or reputation mess. Our recovery rates are way higher than industry average because we keep the process structured and calm.

Red Flag Box: 3 Port Angeles Collection Mistakes That Cost the Most
🚩 “I’ll just wait until they’re back in town.”
That’s how a 30-day invoice becomes a 180-day headache.
🚩 Letting the debtor decide the payment timeline.
You’re not running A/R anymore — you’re funding their schedule.
🚩 Sending one frustrated email that changes the relationship tone.
It can trigger disputes, complaints, or review blowback that costs more than the balance.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t collect by escalating emotion. We collect by removing friction.
We keep your message professional, your timeline clear, and your documentation clean.
Most people don’t need pressure — they need a structured way to finish and a reason to finish now.

Practical Rules Summary (Not Legal Advice)
Collections work best when everything stays calm, accurate, and documented.
Key rules that shape responsible recovery:
-
FDCPA: prohibits harassment, deception, and unfair pressure
-
Regulation F: adds structure and communication boundaries
-
FCRA: governs accuracy and disputes if credit reporting is used and permitted
-
TCPA: impacts calling/texting, especially to mobile numbers
-
Washington collection rules also apply, including RCW 19.16
To reduce dead ends and protect your time, we also do:
-
USPS address checks
-
skip tracing when details go stale
-
bankruptcy check before pushing the wrong account
If you choose it (and if permitted), credit reporting can be considered for the right accounts.
And to prevent rogue collectors and review-bomb risk: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
FAQs
How fast should I assign an overdue account in Port Angeles?
Once it’s clearly past due and reminders aren’t creating action. Early assignment usually improves recovery and reduces excuses.
Can you keep things respectful if the debtor is “well-known” locally?
Yes. Our entire approach is built to stay professional and reputation-safe while still securing payment.
Do email and text actually help collections on the Peninsula?
Often, yes. When appropriate and permitted, it’s one of the quickest ways to get a response without turning the situation tense.
