Recovering past-due balances should reflect the same care you bring to your customer relationships. When a customer stops responding, cash flow suffers, but the way each account is handled still shapes how that customer, and anyone they talk to, sees your brand.
Tavelli Co., Inc. is a family-owned debt collection agency in California, with decades of work helping California businesses resolve past-due consumer accounts through respectful communication and a consistent, empathetic approach.
Our third-party consumer debt collection program is built to improve cash flow while protecting the relationships your business has worked hard to build.
A Practical Approach to Consumer Debt Collection
At Tavelli Co., our mission is to collect the right way. For consumer accounts, that means firm, clear, and professional communication. It should never be aggressive, never careless, and never at the expense of your brand.
Our skilled representatives are trained to practice empathy and provide a high level of customer service. They take the time to understand each customer’s situation and work toward a resolution without pressure tactics or scripted calls.
Your customers won’t be routed through auto-dialers, long hold times, or layers of technology before they can reach a real person. When someone picks up the phone, they get a trained professional who is ready to listen.
That approach is how we help clients collect more receivables, reduce complaints, and protect the reputation they’ve worked hard to build.
How Our Consumer Debt Collection Program Works
Tavelli Co. handles past-due consumer accounts through a straightforward process:
- Account review. We review the account history and documentation you provide.
- Respectful outreach. We contact customers through professional written and verbal correspondence, led by experienced representatives.
- Resolution. We work with each customer to find a reasonable payment solution, from paid in full to structured arrangements.
- Transparent reports. Updates and meaningful data are available through our client web portal, so you always know where your accounts stand.
Past-due accounts often reveal more than which accounts are owed by whom. They can point to small gaps in billing, documentation, or follow-up that quietly affect cash flow over time. Our support staff recognize and provide feedback when needed to improve your systems.
A Trusted Partner Across Industries
Our consumer debt collection program is tailored toward businesses that invoice individual customers and care about how those customers are treated. That includes, but is not limited to:
- Medical and dental practices
- Healthcare organizations and physician groups
- Biotechnology firms
- Construction and materials companies
- Pest Control
- HVAC
- Other service companies that bill consumers directly
No two account portfolios look the same. Whether your business bills hundreds of consumers each month or a smaller volume of higher-value accounts, we take the time to understand your industry, your customers, and your goals before recommending an approach that fits.
Decades of Experience You Can Count On
Our office is located in Santa Rosa, just north of Marin County, and we have worked with Marin businesses for decades. Founder and CEO Robert Tavelli has owned a collection agency since 1983 and personally oversees large and complex claims.
Choosing a debt collection agency in California is more than a transaction. It is a decision about who speaks to your customers on your behalf. Businesses choose Tavelli Co. because:
- We have more than 40 years of receivables management experience.
- We are family-owned and operated.
- Our representatives are trained in empathy and respectful communication.
- We share meaningful data and transparent feedback.
- We help clients make better business decisions, not just collect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once an account is assigned, the process begins with a professional notice to the customer, followed by personalized calls from an experienced representative.
Our team takes the time to understand the customer’s situation and work toward a reasonable resolution, whether that is paid in full or an approved payment arrangement. Progress updates are available throughout the process through our client web portal, so you always know where your accounts stand.
In most cases, accounts are ready for outside help once internal follow-up has stalled, often somewhere around 90 days past due.
The longer an account sits, the harder it tends to be to resolve, as contact information gets stale and the sense of urgency fades.
If the right timing isn’t clear, a short conversation about your current process is usually enough to recommend an approach that fits your business.
The best place to start is to request a quote online or make a quick call to our office at (707) 509-5565.
