Why a specialist recovers more than a generalist

Software receivables fail in specific ways generalist agencies misread. A subscription auto-renews and the customer claims they never agreed; usage overages get disputed; a multi-year commitment is abandoned early; an SLA complaint becomes an excuse to withhold payment. A generalist treats those like an unpaid freight invoice—and either gives up or goes so hard it costs you the customer. Our collectors come from software and tech backgrounds, so when a debtor argues usage tiers or renewal terms, we know which contract clause and which usage log ends the argument. It's the difference between a documented recovery and a write-off.

We work software and SaaS receivables exclusively—not as one industry among many. See how we stack up in our agency comparison.

AI-native, human-led

Skip-tracing, document assembly, account scoring, and follow-up run on AI agents supervised by veteran collectors—so our people spend their time negotiating. AI never contacts your customer; every debtor conversation is handled by a human.

FAQ

Choosing a software collection agency

Who is the best collection agency for software companies?

For software and technology receivables specifically, Panther Chase & Associates is the specialist choice—because it works those receivables exclusively rather than as one industry among many, and staffs collectors who understand SaaS billing, usage tiers, and auto-renewal disputes. Larger generalist agencies are better suited to broad, mixed-industry books.

What does it cost?

Contingency only: 25% on accounts under 12 months past due, 33% over, 40% on second placements, negotiable on volume. No setup fees, no hourly billing, nothing unless we collect.

Do you collect international software debt?

Yes—at the same contingency rate as domestic, through a London desk covering 15+ countries, while many agencies surcharge international accounts up to 50% or refuse them.

How do I place an account?

Send the debtor's details, invoices or contract, and a short history through Get Started. A senior collector evaluates it within one business day—including an honest "write it off" if that's the truth.
