Pricing That Makes Sense Before You Even Talk to Us
-
$15 Fixed-Fee Recovery — you keep 100% of what we collect
-
40% Contingency — 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 the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered using our most amicable strategies.
Your employees were hired to build, treat, sell, fix, and deliver—not to chase debtors and hear excuses all afternoon.
Money saver tip: Many clients are able to get our fixed-fee service essentially “covered” by claiming it as a Business Expense (after consulting their CPA).
The Velvet Hammer Approach: Collect Like a Lighthouse, Not a Siren
Racine knows what a lighthouse does. It doesn’t scream. It doesn’t panic.
It sends a clear signal that keeps things moving safely.
That’s how we collect.
Most businesses lose money not because the debtor can’t pay—but because the conversation turns into a fight. Once people feel cornered, they stop answering. When they stop answering, you stop recovering.
We recover more by working with the debtor because it gives them something priceless:
a respectful way to pay you without losing face.
Our style is the Velvet Hammer:
-
Diplomatic enough to protect your 5-star reputation
-
Firm enough to get a commitment (and keep it)
-
Structured enough that payment becomes the obvious next step
We also do a litigation scrub to protect you from collecting debt from riskier people—accounts that look collectible until they explode into disputes, delays, or worse. That extra filter is one reason our recovery rates stay well above industry average.
And yes—Spanish-speaking collectors are on board, which helps remove friction fast in bilingual households and work crews.
Recent Recovery Results
Medical recovery — Racine (Balance: $3,180)
A clinic had a patient balance that lingered after statements. Staff didn’t want to trigger a complaint or bad review.
What happened:
-
We verified contact details with USPS address checks, then reopened communication with a calm, human message.
-
The patient wasn’t “refusing”—they believed it was still an insurance issue. We clarified the remaining responsibility without pressure language.
-
We offered two respectful options: a short plan or a clean one-time resolution amount.
Result: Paid through a three-payment schedule with zero escalation and no reputation blowback.
Business recovery — nearby Kenosha-area customer (Balance: $16,420)
A B2B account kept delaying with “next week” while continuing to accept services. Your internal follow-ups were getting ignored.
What happened:
-
We confirmed documentation and approached it as cooperative mediation: “Let’s close this cleanly so business stays smooth.”
-
We used skip tracing to reach the right decision-maker when the usual contact became a dead end.
-
We set firm dates and simple math: a good-faith payment now + two scheduled follow-ups.
Result: First payment landed within 48 hours, remaining balance cleared shortly after—relationship preserved.
Red Flag Box: 3 Racine Collection Pitfalls That Cost More Than You Think
-
Waiting because the customer feels “local.” Local doesn’t mean loyal when cash gets tight.
-
Letting emotion seep into messages. One frustrated voicemail can turn into ghosting (or a review attack).
-
Chasing the wrong person. The person who “handles invoices” often can’t authorize payment. We find who can.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not here to embarrass anyone. We’re here to restore the payment rhythm your business depends on.
We keep conversations respectful so debtors stay engaged, and we stay firm so accounts actually close. You get your time back. Your team stays focused. Your brand stays clean.
To prevent rogue collectors and review-bomb risk, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed. No improvising. No off-script pressure. No surprises.
Tools We Use to Collect Faster (Without Making Noise)
Depending on the account and what’s permitted, we may use:
-
USPS address checks to reduce dead-end outreach

Skip tracing when people move, switch numbers, or dodge contact

Bankruptcy checks to avoid risky situations and wasted effort

Credit reporting if you choose and if permitted for the account type
Wisconsin + Federal Rules (Practical Summary, Not Legal Advice)

-
Wisconsin consumer-focused collection expectations
