Pricing That Doesn’t Need a Committee Meeting
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 can also use email or text to speed up responses. Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate, and the earlier you assign, the better the recovery results — because overdue accounts don’t “mature”… they drift.
Your employees were hired to run operations, take care of patients, manage jobs, and serve customers — not to become part-time debt collectors. Collections is stressful, awkward, and inconsistent when handled internally.
We also have Spanish-speaking collectors on board, because sometimes the issue isn’t refusal — it’s friction in communication.
Money saver tip: Most clients can treat our fixed-fee service as a business expense (after confirming with their CPA), which often offsets the cost and makes it feel close to free.
Why West Chester Accounts Go Silent (Even When Business Is Booming)
West Chester is a college town, a courthouse town, and a commuter town — all at once.
You might be billing someone connected to:
-
West Chester University, where students and staff keep the town moving
-
the downtown energy near Gay Street
-
the professional lane around the Chester County Court area
-
the daily traffic surge on PA Route 3 (West Chester Pike)
-
the constant flow on US 202, where “local” customers can turn into “hard to reach” fast
-
nearby commercial pockets like Exton/West Goshen where projects, vendors, and invoices bounce between multiple decision-makers
-
healthcare traffic tied to Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital
So the problem often isn’t that the debtor vanished. It’s that they learned how to stall:
“Send it again.” “We’re waiting on approval.” “We’ll pay after next deposit.”
Meanwhile… they keep operating normally.
The Velvet Hammer Method: Let Them Save Face, Then Pay You
If you’ve ever chased a past-due balance in West Chester, you know the trap:
-
you stay polite… too long
-
then you get frustrated
-
then the tone shifts
…and suddenly you’re not collecting money — you’re managing conflict.
We recover more because we don’t argue. We guide.
Here’s what “cooperative mediation” actually looks like:
-
We confirm the balance and the reason in plain language
-
We offer a clean exit: pay-in-full or a short plan
-
We set a deadline that sounds calm, but lands firm
-
We follow up with discipline, not emotion
That’s the Velvet Hammer: firm enough to secure payment, respectful enough to protect your 5-star reputation.
We also do a litigation scrub to help protect you from collecting the wrong way from the wrong people. Some accounts are recoverable. Others are landmines. We help you avoid the landmines.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Team
We don’t “go after” your customers — we bring them back to the agreement.
No freelancing. No threats. No chaos.
Just a professional cadence that makes ignoring you feel harder than paying you.

Red Flag Box: 3 West Chester Mistakes That Cost You the Most
🚩 Mistake #1: Waiting too long because you “don’t want it to get awkward.”
It gets awkward anyway — just later, with more money at stake.
🚩 Mistake #2: Letting staff improvise collections.
Different messages, different tones, different promises… debtors sense the lack of structure and stall harder.
🚩 Mistake #3: Skipping verification.
Wrong address, stale phone, or bankruptcy risk can burn weeks before you even start.
