Simple Pricing (So You Can Decide Fast)
-
$15 fixed-fee option — you keep 100% of what we recover
-
40% contingency option — 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 — the earlier you assign, the better the results, especially when the approach stays amicable and reputation-safe. And yes: Spanish-speaking collectors are on board.
Money-saver tip: Many clients offset the fixed-fee service by classifying it as a business expense (after checking with their CPA).
Wausau Debts Get Paid Faster When It Doesn’t Turn Into a Fight
Arguing with a debtor feels satisfying for five minutes… and then nothing happens for five weeks.
We take a different route: firm enough to secure payment, calm enough to protect your name.
That’s our “Velvet Hammer” style — pressure without chaos.
Here’s why it works (especially in a tight-knit market like Marathon County):
-
People pay the bill that feels organized and fair first
-
A debtor who feels cornered becomes a ghost (or a complaint)
-
The more respectful your message, the more likely they choose you over other creditors
We also run a litigation scrub and other checks to avoid chasing accounts that are riskier than they look on paper.
Red Flag Box: 3 Local Pitfalls That Quietly Kill Recovery
1) “We’ll give them one more week” on repeat
That week turns into a season. Every delay lowers the odds of full recovery.
2) No clean paper trail
Missing invoices, unsigned work orders, or vague “net-30” terms make debtors stall with confidence.
3) Letting staff collect emotionally
Employees weren’t hired to do collections — and when they’re frustrated, a single rough call can become a review problem.
A Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We’re not here to “blow things up.” We’re here to bring the account back into balance.
We’ll speak to the debtor like a professional would — direct, documented, and controlled — and we’ll keep you updated without turning your week into a daily fire drill. If the account can be saved, we work to save it. If it can’t, we move forward cleanly.

Why This Approach Fits Wausau’s Economy
Wausau runs on real operations: healthcare activity, truck routes, and companies that can’t afford distractions.
We regularly support accounts tied to:
-
The US-51 / I-39 corridor movement of goods
-
Wausau’s River District and downtown service businesses
-
Local healthcare demand around major facilities
-
Regional traffic patterns along Highway 29
-
Travel and vendor activity coming through Central Wisconsin Airport (CWA)
-
Seasonal spikes that hit contractors and service providers hard
If your cash is stuck in “maybe next week,” your growth slows down right now — payroll, inventory, hiring, everything.
What We Do Behind the Scenes (So You Don’t Have To)
-
USPS address verification before we waste time chasing the wrong door
-
Skip tracing when the debtor has “moved, changed numbers, or vanished”
-
Bankruptcy checks to reduce risk and prevent bad moves
-
Credit reporting (only if you choose, and only if permitted)
-
Calls are recorded and randomly reviewed to prevent rogue collector behavior and reduce review-bomb risk
Rules That Matter (Practical, Not Legal Advice)
Collections are highly regulated — and smart recovery stays inside the guardrails.
In plain terms:
-
Debtors have rights around fair communication and no harassment
-
Validation and dispute handling must be done correctly
-
Digital contact (like email/text) has to be used carefully and appropriately
-
Credit reporting has rules too — accuracy matters, and permissions matter
We stick to a documented, respectful process because it protects your recovery and your reputation.

FAQs
How fast should I assign an account in Wausau?
As soon as it becomes a pattern — not after it becomes a loss. Early assignment usually means a calmer debtor and higher recovery.
Can you contact a debtor by text or email?
Yes, when appropriate and permitted. It often speeds up coordination, especially for working debtors who avoid phone calls.
Do you work accounts tied to seasonal work (snow services, repairs, trades)?
Absolutely. We structure follow-ups and payment terms so the debtor can’t “wait out the season” and forget the balance.
