The problem

Every day an invoice sits unpaid, it's quietly draining your business.

90+ days
past due and climbing
—Your finance team is chasing invoices instead of closing books.
—A polite email every 30 days isn't a collection strategy. It's a hope.
—Handling it wrong can burn a client relationship you still want.
—The longer an account ages, the less of it you ever see again.
What we do

Three stages. You only pay for the one you reach.

A flat fee gets a professional demand out the door today. If it doesn't land, a low escalation fee opens active collection. Contingency only applies to what's actually recovered.

Stage 1 — $99 flat

Demand letter, sent within 24 hours

Attorney-caliber demand correspondence on Recourse Ledger letterhead, sent directly to the debtor. Paid at placement, no waiting on a recovery to see revenue.

Stage 2 — $250 flat

Escalation, only if the letter doesn't work

Skip tracing, direct calls, and structured negotiation begin. Charged once, only when active collection work actually starts.

Stage 3 — 15% to start

Contingency, priced by how old the invoice already is

15% if the invoice was under 90 days overdue when you placed it with us, 20% for 90–180 days overdue, 25% for 180+ days overdue. Your rate is locked in at placement, based on the invoice's age then, not on how long we take to collect it. Charged only against funds we actually recover.

Who qualifies

Any company or entity that owes you money

If another business, LLC, corporation, partnership, or commercial entity owes your company money, whether from an unpaid invoice, a contract balance, or a past-due commercial account, you can place it with us. We don't touch consumer debt, but the debtor doesn't need to already be a client or account of yours; any business-to-business debt qualifies.

Why it works

Lower contingency because we're not betting everything on the win

Because Stages 1 and 2 already cover our cost to work an account, we can pass a meaningfully lower contingency rate to you than agencies that only get paid on recovery, without cutting corners on the effort.

How it works

Three stages, three fees, in order.

01
Place the account — $99
Send us the invoice details and pay the flat $99 letter fee. That's the only charge at this stage.
02
Demand letter sent
We verify the debtor and send a professional demand letter within 24 hours of placement.
03
Resolved, or escalated — $250
Many accounts pay after the letter alone. If not, a $250 escalation fee opens active collection work.
04
Negotiate & escalate
Skip tracing, calls, and structured negotiation, with pre-litigation and our attorney network available for accounts that stay unresponsive.
05
Recover & remit — from 15%
Funds are collected and remitted to you, minus a contingency fee of 15–25% set by how overdue the invoice was when you placed it, not by how long our process takes. Charged only on what's recovered.

FAQ

What to expect before you place an account.

Every account starts with a flat $99 demand letter fee, paid at placement. If the letter resolves it, that's the only charge. If not, a one-time $250 escalation fee opens active collection work. From there, contingency is charged only on what's recovered, at a rate set by how overdue the invoice already was when you placed it with us: 15% if under 90 days overdue, 20% for 90–180 days, 25% for 180+ days. That rate is locked in at placement and does not increase based on how long our process takes.
