Pricing (simple, upfront)
-
Fixed-fee: $15 — you keep 100% of what’s recovered.
-
Contingency: 40% — no recovery, no fee.
When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses (especially when phone tag drags on). A collection agency typically improves recovery rates because it adds structure, documentation, and consistent follow-through—without pulling your employees away from core work they were hired to do (and frankly, they don’t enjoy collections).
Bilingual collections are available—Spanish-speaking collectors included.
Money saver tip: Many clients can offset our fixed-fee service by recording it as a business expense (after confirming with their CPA).
The Red Bank rule: don’t heckle your own audience
Think of collections like a performance: if you start yelling, you lose the room—even if you’re “right.” Red Bank runs on professionalism, and debtors pay faster when they feel they can resolve the issue without embarrassment.
That’s the Velvet Hammer approach:
-
Respectful first contact that confirms facts and opens a clean path to resolution
-
Firm boundaries with timelines and next steps (no endless back-and-forth)
-
Reputation-safe tone designed to reduce complaint risk and review-bomb drama
And to prevent rogue behavior, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.
Red flag box: 3 common collection mistakes Red Bank businesses trip over
-
Chasing payment in public-facing channels. A heated email thread can become a screenshot.
-
Letting emotion lead the conversation. The debtor stops hearing logic and starts defending pride.
-
Skipping risk checks. Pushing the wrong account can create bigger problems than the balance itself—so we run litigation scrub and early screening.
Why cooperative mediation wins more money than confrontation
Arguing feels like “standing up for yourself.” It also creates a debtor who avoids you.
When you work with the debtor, you’re doing something strategic: you’re helping them choose you first. People prioritize the bill that offers the cleanest, least painful path to paid. Our job is to make paying you feel like the smartest, simplest decision—without sacrificing firmness.
We use diplomatic language that’s strong enough to secure payment and soft enough to protect your 5-star reputation. If the situation looks risky, we don’t blindly escalate—we apply a litigation scrub and adjust the approach.
Two recent recovery results (reputation-safe, step-by-step)
Medical recovery (Red Bank): $7,260 patient balance resolved without escalation
-
Clean the file: We ran USPS address checks to reduce misdirected notices and used skip tracing to confirm current contact details.
-
Soft-structured outreach: We opened calmly, verified the balance, and offered resolution options (pay-in-full or a short plan when appropriate).
-
Close with certainty: The patient chose a split payment with scheduled dates. Account resolved without drama, and staff didn’t have to keep re-calling.
Business recovery (nearby Long Branch area): $13,540 B2B invoice recovered from a cash-tight operator
-
Document-first leverage: We assembled a tight timeline—work authorization, completion proof, approvals—so the conversation stayed factual.
-
Cooperative mediation: Instead of cornering them, we proposed a two-step plan aligned with their receivables cycle (a meaningful first payment, then a dated final payment).
-
Firm follow-through: Once the first payment cleared, momentum carried the rest. No threats, no theatrics—just a controlled path to paid.

FAQs
Can you keep outreach “quiet” for a Red Bank business that lives on reviews?
Yes. Velvet Hammer means professional tone, short messages, clear options, and guardrails to reduce complaint and review-bomb risk.
Do you support Spanish-language collections for Red Bank/shore-area households and crews?
Yes—Spanish-speaking collectors are available, and we keep communication respectful and plain-language.
What helps you move fastest on a Red Bank account?
Invoice, signed work order/PO, proof of delivery/service, and the last 3–5 communications. A clean file shortens the negotiation.
