Kendrick and Hayes Commercial Recovery

03/18/2026

Most debtors think they can hide behind a 'cash flow' excuse. They assume if they tell you they're broke, you'll just wait in line with everyone else.

At Kendrick & Hayes, we don’t guess—we verify.

Before we even pick up the phone, every account is placed with our Forensic Auditing Team. We don't just look at the unpaid invoice; we look at the debtor's entire financial footprint. We track their recent project filings, their UCC filings, and their asset movements across the country.

By the time our local counsel makes contact in their backyard, we already know the truth.

On a recent case involving a specialized manufacturer, the debtor claimed they were 'waiting on a draw' to pay a $12,000 balance. Our audit showed they had just cleared a major contract and moved those funds into a secondary account.

When we presented the facts, the excuse died on the vine. We didn't have to argue. We simply showed them that we had the 'receipts.' The payment was wired that afternoon.

If you’re tired of being lied to, stop playing the guessing game. Put our Auditing Department and our national network of 5,000 attorneys on the case.

When a debtor stops answering your calls, they usually think they’ve won because of the distance. They assume you won't have the resources to reach across state lines and hold them accountable.

They realize they’re wrong the moment Kendrick & Hayes takes the file.

Take a recent $20,000 recovery we handled. When the debtor went radio silent, we didn't just keep calling. We immediately transferred the account to our Auditing Department for a full forensic review of their financial situation. We looked at their assets, their current projects, and their ability to pay—long before we made the next move.

Once we confirmed the funds were there, we leveraged our national network of over 5,000 affiliated attorneys to identify counsel right in the debtor’s own backyard.

By having a local presence—someone who knows the local courts and can put boots on the ground in their jurisdiction—the 'distance' defense evaporated. When the debtor realized they weren't just dodging a long-distance phone call, but were facing a coordinated national effort with local legal muscle, that $20,000 check was cut within 48 hours.

You may be a small or mid-sized business, but when you partner with Kendrick & Hayes, you have the reach of a national powerhouse.

Stop letting them hide. Put our network to work for you.

I'm starting a list of the worst excuses for non-payment I've heard this year. Head over to the Kendrick & Hayes page and drop yours in the comments.

Let’s settle this: What is the most common excuse you hear when a customer is 60 days past due?

I’ve been in the recovery business for 33 years, and lately, the 'excuses' I'm hearing from subs and manufacturers are getting out of hand. Whether it's 'the check is in the mail' or 'we're waiting on a draw,' it all adds up to the same thing: You are acting as an interest-free bank for your customers.

I want to hear from the guys in the field and on the shop floors. What’s the wildest reason someone has given you for not paying their bill on time? Drop it in the comments. 👇

I’m Richard Abramoff, and at Kendrick & Hayes, we don't take excuses. We take action. If you're tired of hearing the same old story while your cash is stuck in their pockets, it’s time to change the game.

"In my 33 years of recovery work, I’ve heard every excuse in the book. 📋🚫

'The invoice was lost.'
'Our accounting system is down.'
'We’re just waiting on a draw.'

If you’re a manufacturer shipping parts or a sub finishing a job, these excuses are costing you real money. At Kendrick & Hayes, we don’t just take their word for it. We use a high-speed tracking system we call SOPHIA.

SOPHIA isn’t some complicated tech toy. It’s an accountability machine. It tracks every date, every invoice, and every phone call across all 50 states. The second a customer tries to dodge a payment, SOPHIA flags it. It tells my team exactly when to step in and turn up the heat so your invoice doesn't end up at the bottom of their pile.

I’m Richard Abramoff, and I built this system because I was tired of seeing honest businesses get sidelined by dishonest excuses.

Stop chasing paperwork. Let SOPHIA and my team at Kendrick & Hayes start chasing your cash.

"You aren't a bank. So why are you giving out interest-free loans? 🛠️🏗️🏭

In my 33 years in this business, I’ve seen the same story a thousand times. You ship the parts, you deliver the materials, or you finish the install. You’ve already paid your guys. You’ve already paid for the supplies. Now, you’re just sitting by the mailbox waiting for a check that should have been there weeks ago.

When a customer 'forgets' to pay you on time, they are using your hard-earned money to fund their next project or payroll.

At Kendrick & Hayes, we don't do corporate fluff. We get results. Whether your customer is one state over or across the country, we know how to track down what’s owed to you and get it back into your bank account where it belongs.

I’m Richard Abramoff, and I know that a 'Net 30' agreement isn't a suggestion—it’s a contract. If they’re 60 days out, they’re taking advantage of your hard work.

Let's get your money out of their pockets and back into yours.

Hello everyone! Seeing as it has been a long, long time since we posted here, I thought it would be good to let our clients, and potential clients, know what is happening at SRS. First, we knocked the numbers out of the park the first half of 2022 with an amazing $8M in total collections. That is a 22% increase over the same period last year! Congratulations to our team for a job very well done! Also, we have been noticing an uptick in delinquencies among our contractor clients. This is something that may be alarming to many, but rest assured, it is just a sign of the times. I have weathered 3 major recessions in my career and I can tell you this much: with proper planning and fast action on your part, the losses you realize during an economic downturn can be minimal. If you are seeing signs of an increase in late or no payments, reach out to me here or call us at 802-551-1492. We will be glad to discuss your matter at no cost and help steer you down the right path toward full payment. Finally, we have been in talks with a sister agency that does a lot of our consumer collections and a "marriage" of sorts may be in our future. We will keep you all up-to-date on any big news as it happens. Stay safe everyone and have a great day!
