Simple Pricing (No Games)
Fixed-Fee: $15 per account — you keep 100% of what you recover.
Contingency: 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 the core work they were hired for, instead of chasing payments (which they obviously don’t enjoy). And yes — Spanish-speaking collectors are on board for bilingual outreach.
Money-saver tip: Many clients are able to “zero out” the cost of our fixed-fee service by treating it as a Business Expense for taxes (after checking with their CPA).
Why “Working With” the Debtor Beats Fighting Them
In Union Gap, a lot of past-due accounts aren’t from bad people — they’re from good people under pressure.
Arguing pushes debtors into defense mode. Defense mode creates delays, complaints, and ghosting.
We aim for the opposite: a clear path to yes.
Our style is what we call the Velvet Hammer:
-
Firm enough to secure action and payment
-
Soft enough to keep your online reputation protected
-
Professional enough to preserve customer relationships when possible
Here’s the truth: debtors prioritize the creditor who feels organized, reasonable, and consistent. When you give them a dignified option to resolve the balance, they’re more likely to put you first — ahead of the next bill, the next vendor, or the next “I’ll do it later.”
We also run a litigation scrub early to protect you from wasting effort on accounts that show clear risk signals.
Red Flag Box: 3 Collection Mistakes We See Around Union Gap
1) “Let’s wait one more week.”
Waiting is expensive. The longer it ages, the more it hardens.
2) Front-desk staff chasing balances.
It burns goodwill, hurts morale, and creates inconsistent messaging.
3) No address verification before outreach.
Wrong data leads to wrong contacts, delays, and unnecessary risk.
A Note From Our Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not here to “turn up the heat” for entertainment. We’re here to get you paid without collateral damage.
That means clear documentation, respectful outreach, and follow-ups that feel consistent — not chaotic.
When we speak to debtors, we act like professionals who expect resolution, not like someone looking for an argument.

Local Reality Check: Why Union Gap Collections Need a Specific Touch
Union Gap sits at a real crossroads — literally and economically. You’ve got:
-
I-82 / US-97 traffic flow that fuels constant movement and fast transactions
-
The commerce footprint around Valley Mall where retail and services turn over daily
-
Nearby healthcare demand tied to Yakima Memorial Hospital and the greater Yakima market
-
The Yakima River cutting through Ahtanum Ridge, a reminder that pressure eventually finds a way through
-
Business travel and regional access via Yakima Air Terminal (McAllister Field)
-
Military and contracting ripples connected to the Yakima Training Center
-
The broader Yakima Valley economy supporting agriculture, logistics, trades, and small commercial vendors
That mix creates one big truth: your receivables need consistency, or they slip through the cracks.

FAQs
How fast should a Union Gap business assign an account?
If it’s past due and internal follow-ups are going nowhere, earlier assignment usually means higher recovery — especially in a high-transaction corridor near I-82.
Will this upset my customer and hurt reviews?
Not if it’s handled right. Our approach is firm, calm, and respectful — designed to protect your reputation while still securing results.
Do you work bilingual accounts?
Yes. We have Spanish-speaking collectors available to improve response rates and reduce misunderstandings.
