Pricing That Keeps It Easy
Fixed-Fee: $15 (you keep 100%)
Ideal for newer accounts that need a clean, fast push.
Contingency: 40% (no recovery, no fee)
Best for older balances where the customer is delaying, dodging, or going silent.
When appropriate and permitted, we may also use email or text to speed up responses and reduce back-and-forth.
Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate — and the earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, especially using amicable strategies.
Let your employees do core work they were hired for, rather than forcing them into collections (which they obviously do not enjoy).
Bilingual collections: Spanish collectors are also on board.
Money saver tip: Many clients offset the fixed-fee by treating it as a Business Expense after consulting their CPA.
The “Mill Schedule” Reality: Cash Flow Can’t Wait for Good Intentions
Roseburg knows production schedules. Logs don’t move themselves. Projects don’t finish on hope.
Yet unpaid invoices love to hide behind polite excuses:
-
“We’re waiting on a signature.”
-
“We’re short-staffed this week.”
-
“Can you resend the statement?”
-
“Next month is better.”
The problem isn’t always bad people. It’s lack of urgency.
Our job is to create urgency without creating enemies — so the debtor still wants to cooperate, and you don’t get dragged into a messy, reputation-hurting fight.
That’s what the Velvet Hammer is built for: a diplomatic style that’s firm enough to secure payment, but soft enough to protect your five-star online reputation.
Why Working With the Debtor Recovers More Than Arguing
Arguing turns a bill into a battle. Battles create resistance. Resistance creates delay.
Cooperative mediation does something smarter: it gives the debtor a clean exit.
Not a lecture. Not a threat. A finish line.
Here’s how we make your invoice the one they pay first:
-
Make the balance undeniable (clear summary, clean documentation, zero confusion)
-
Make payment doable (two options, not ten back-and-forth conversations)
-
Make the next step time-bound (a real deadline, not “whenever”)
-
Stay consistent so they don’t learn they can stall you out
We also run a litigation scrub before pushing harder, helping protect you from chasing riskier situations the wrong way.
Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe)
1) Medical Recovery — Roseburg Area Patient Balance
What happened: A clinic balance kept aging because staff didn’t want uncomfortable calls or online backlash. The patient wasn’t hostile — just endlessly “busy.”
What we did (2–3 steps):
-
USPS address check + skip tracing to confirm the best contact path and stop wasted outreach.
-
A calm first call, then a short text follow-up when permitted offering two clear options: pay-in-full or a simple plan.
-
We set fixed dates and kept reminders polite, steady, and documented.
Result: The plan completed without complaints, and the clinic didn’t have to turn its front desk into a collections desk.
2) Business Recovery — Nearby City (Sutherlin Area) B2B Invoice
What happened: A contractor-style invoice was caught in the “approval loop.” Work was done, but payment stayed “next week.”
What we did (2–3 steps):
-
Professional mediation call to confirm there wasn’t a real dispute — just delay and internal bottlenecks.
-
Same-day email recap: scope summary, dates, amount due, and a firm pay-by deadline.
-
A respectful boundary: “We’ll hold action until Friday. After that, we move this forward.”
Result: A partial payment arrived first, and the remainder cleared soon after — no shouting, no threats, no relationship blow-up.
🚩 Red Flag Box: 3 Roseburg Collection Pitfalls That Quietly Cost You
1) “They’re local — we’ll give them time.”
Time is fine. Drift is not. Old balances become optional balances.
2) Resending invoices without a decision deadline.
A deadline creates action. Endless reminders create procrastination.
3) Letting the wrong person chase payment.
The best employee for the job isn’t always the one who’s “available.” One calm, trained voice wins more.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’ve watched good businesses lose energy because one unpaid account turned into five, then ten, then “we’ll deal with it later.”
Our role is simple: take the awkward part off your plate, keep communication consistent, and bring accounts to a clean conclusion.
To prevent rogue behavior and review-bomb risk, calls are recorded and randomly reviewed.

FAQs (Short, Useful, Local)
1) We serve Roseburg + Winston + Green. Does a wider service area change the approach?
Yes. The tone stays respectful, but the contact plan changes based on whether it’s consumer-heavy, contractor-heavy, or B2B billing.
2) Can you text a debtor if they keep dodging calls?
When appropriate and permitted, yes. Text + email often reduces “phone tag” and speeds commitments.
3) When should we assign a past-due account in Roseburg?
Earlier is usually better. Once an invoice feels old, you become optional. Assign sooner to keep priority and improve recovery results.
