Pricing (Pick the Fit, Keep Control)
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 — earlier you assign, 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. Internal collections usually turn into awkward chasing, inconsistent pressure, and missed follow-ups.
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.
Money saver tip: Most of our clients are able to get our fixed fee service for free (or close to it) by declaring it as a Business Expense in taxes, after consulting their CPA.
The Redmond “Delay Loop”: It’s Not a No… It’s a Never-Ending Refresh
Redmond is built around systems. And when payments slip, it usually looks like a broken sync, not an outright refusal.
We see overdue accounts tied to:
-
the constant motion around the Microsoft campus
-
clients commuting along SR-520 and I-405 (and never sitting still long enough to handle bills)
-
spending and service traffic at Redmond Town Center
-
family schedules and weekend crowds around Marymoor Park
-
the steady flow of people on the Sammamish River Trail
-
providers and patient traffic around local clinics (including healthcare offices right by the Town Center)
-
project work that stretches between Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland in the Overlake corridor
In this environment, a debtor can be perfectly “nice”… and still keep you waiting forever.
So instead of pushing harder, we make payment easier than avoidance.
Red Flag Box: 3 Redmond Mistakes That Turn Good Invoices into Bad Debt
🚩 “They’re a busy professional. They’ll pay when they get a minute.”
Busy people pay bills every day. Delays usually mean your invoice fell to the bottom of the stack.
🚩 Accepting vague promises like “Net-30 from approval.”
Approval from who? If the decision-maker isn’t identified, the deadline isn’t real.
🚩 Sounding angry in writing.
One sharp email can trigger defensiveness, complaints, or a reputation problem that costs more than the balance.
Why Working With Debtors Pays Better Than Fighting Them
A lot of businesses try to win through escalation. In Redmond, escalation often backfires.
Debtors prioritize the creditor who feels:
-
organized and consistent
-
calm, professional, and documented
-
easy to resolve with
-
serious enough to not ignore
That’s cooperative mediation. We don’t argue people into paying. We guide them into finishing.
Velvet Hammer, the practical version:
-
a respectful opening that keeps the debtor talking
-
clear choices (pay-in-full or a short plan)
-
deadlines that don’t feel like threats — but don’t move
-
follow-ups that stay steady instead of emotional
We also run a litigation scrub to protect you from collecting debt from riskier situations the wrong way. Some accounts are collectible. Others are landmines. Smart recovery means protecting you while still getting paid.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not here to “chase people down.” We’re here to close loops.
We keep the tone steady, the proof clean, and the next step obvious.
Most debtors don’t need pressure… they need a structured exit ramp and a reason to take it now.

Practical Rules Summary (Not Legal Advice)
Collections work best when the approach stays calm, accurate, and documented.
Key rules that shape responsible recovery:
-
FDCPA: no harassment, deception, or unfair pressure
-
Regulation F: communication boundaries and consistent outreach structure
-
FCRA: accuracy and dispute handling if credit reporting is used and permitted
-
TCPA: careful rules for calls/texts, especially to mobile numbers
-
Washington’s collection rules also apply, including restrictions on misleading conduct
We also protect your time (and reduce bad leads) by using:
-
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 part of the strategy for the right accounts.
And for reputation protection: calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collectors and review-bomb risk.
FAQs
Do Redmond debtors respond better to email/text than calls?
Often, yes. Busy professionals respond faster when the message is short, clear, and easy to act on. When appropriate and permitted, we use email or text to speed up resolution.
When should I send an account to collections in Redmond?
When it’s clearly past due and reminders aren’t producing action. Earlier assignment usually improves recovery and reduces excuses.
Will your approach damage my relationship with the customer?
Our goal is the opposite. Velvet Hammer outreach stays respectful and controlled — firm enough to collect, soft enough to protect your name.
