Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mike Andes ("$750 Lawn Care Repo Pt. 2", uploaded Aug 8, 2023) in which two speakers discuss a non-paying client who left a five-star review but did not pay for a $750 lawn-care service. The provider threatened collections (noting collections take about 20% of recovered funds), left a note on a cone outside the client’s garage, and ultimately avoided sending the account to collections because the client paid.

$750

About 20% off the top

She hasn't paid me.
On a $750 service. She said it was looking good. They even gave me a five star review but apparently.
They thought that would.
Be a good substitute for payment. Instead of paying me the $750, I'm.
Gonna bother you until I get my payment. If I don't get the payment, then I'm sorry, I'll have to send you.
To collections, which will destroy your credit.
No answer. Who would have guessed? A week ago I was very, very stressed. Super low on cash. That client, you remember that client? I left a note on that cone outside of their garage kind of blocking their driveway. They paid so didn't have to send them to collections. Collections takes about, I think 20% off the top or whatever they collect from us, which is basically our profit margins. They're basically breaking even if you do send someone to collections. So try to do everything before it gets to that case. In this instance, it worked.
