Transparent Tarzana Recovery Pricing
We believe in straightforward math, not hidden administrative fees. Our pricing models are designed to scale with the specific needs of Valley businesses:
-
Fixed-Fee Recovery: $15 per account. This is ideal for early-stage delinquency where a professional nudge is all that’s needed. You retain 100% of the recovered funds.
-
Contingency-Based Recovery: 20%–40% of the amount collected. If we don’t recover your money, you don’t owe us a dime. This “no recovery, no fee” model aligns our success directly with yours.
Why Tarzana Businesses Choose the Velvet Hammer
Operating a business along Ventura Boulevard or near the medical hub of Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana requires a delicate touch. We don’t act like “collectors”; our team functions as Account Reconciliation Concierges. We understand that a patient at a local specialty clinic or a parent at a nearby private academy might simply be overwhelmed, not intentionally avoidant. We use data-driven diplomacy to move your accounts from “past due” to “paid in full” while treating every debtor with the same respect you gave them during the initial transaction.

The First 10 Days: Our Action Plan
When you hand over an account to our Reconciliation Concierges, we move with intentional speed. Here is what the first 10 days look like:
-
Day 1: Data Scrubbing. We verify all contact information and check for bankruptcy filings or active military status to ensure a smooth path.
-
Day 2: The Soft Launch. A firm but empathetic “Initial Notice” is sent, branded with our professional letterhead, signaling that the account is now being handled by the Concierge team.
-
Day 4: Multi-Channel Outreach. We begin a series of professional, recorded phone calls and digital reminders, always focusing on “reconciling” rather than “demanding.”
-
Day 7: Asset Assessment. For larger balances, we perform a deep dive into the debtor’s ability to pay to determine if a structured settlement is the best path forward.
-
Day 10: Status Update. We provide you with a transparent report on which accounts have entered a payment plan and which require escalated diplomacy.

-
The Problem: A specialty clinic had $12,000 in aging receivables from patients who had high-deductible plans and stopped responding after the third billing cycle.

The Velvet Hammer: We initiated a “Healthcare Reconciliation” campaign. Our concierges discovered that 40% of patients were confused by their EOB (Explanation of Benefits).

Case 2: B2B Restoration Dispute (Valley Contractor)
-
The Problem: A local restoration company was owed $8,500 for emergency water damage repair. The client, a commercial property manager, was withholding payment due to a minor documentation error.
-
The Velvet Hammer: Our team acted as mediators. We facilitated the exchange of the missing paperwork and presented a firm “demand for payment” based on the signed work order. The full balance was wired within 14 days of our involvement.
Quick $5K–$15K Scenarios
-
The “Slow-Pay” Accountant: A Tarzana CPA was owed $6,500 for tax preparation services. The client was a local business owner who had gone “ghost.” We utilized our data-tracing tools to find a current phone number and negotiated a full payout over two installments.
-
The Enrollment Gap: A private K-12 school had three families withdraw with an outstanding balance of $14,000 in tuition and fees. We applied a diplomatic “tuition reconciliation” approach, reminding the parents of their contractual obligations while offering a dignified way to clear the debt before the next semester.
Practical Legal Framework for California Collections
In the Current regulatory environment, staying compliant is the only way to protect your brand. We strictly adhere to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (California’s specific enhancement). Practically, this means we never call before 8 AM or after 9 PM, we provide immediate debt validation when requested, and we avoid any language that could be construed as harassment. By following these rules, we ensure that your business is never associated with “rogue” collection tactics that lead to litigation or brand damage.
FAQ
Will using a collection agency hurt my reputation in the Valley?
Not if you use a “Velvet Hammer.” Our Reconciliation Concierges operate as an extension of your office. Most debtors appreciate the clarity and the option of a structured payment plan over being ignored or sued.
How do I know your collectors aren’t being too aggressive?
All calls are recorded and randomly reviewed by our quality assurance team. This prevents “rogue” behavior and mitigates the risk of review-bombing or legal complaints.
