Explanation:
There seems to be an implied threat of a 'heavy' debt collector going round in person to the debtor and using 'persistent' tactics.

Example sentence(s):
  • When coupled with our industry-leading veteran collection agents, we bring a one-two punch to knock out your A/R (accounts receivable) problem.
  • USA: Even with secured debts, you have rights, and collectors need to follow the law. For example, a repossession agent can’t threaten you with physical force, and they can’t destroy property to get into your garage.
