We collect school fees that parents owe you.

AI that chases unpaid school fees for independent schools, with a law firm behind it. It emails, texts and calls parents in their own language, agrees payment plans within your limits, and keeps going after a family has left.

10% + VAT of what we collect. No sign-up or monthly fee.

Upload your unpaid invoices, with any signed agreement or terms and conditions behind them.

This page is for independent schools. We collect for any business, in any industry, including loans: if you can prove the debt, the debtor has not disputed it and it is R500 or more, we can collect it. See everything we collect

Built for independent schools

Who owes you

Parents and guardians who signed the enrolment contract, including families who have already left the school.

What to upload

A fee statement export from your school system or a spreadsheet, and the signed enrolment contracts if you have them.

Why it gets left

The bursar sees these parents at the gate, so chasing is awkward. Once a family has left, there is nothing left to hold back.

How it works for independent schools

  1. UploadA fee statement export from your school system or a spreadsheet, and the signed enrolment contracts if you have them. Messy is fine.
  2. SortAI turns the pile into tidy accounts, each document matched to the right one. We only ask you when something is missing.
  3. ContactParents hear from us by email, SMS and phone, in their own language, at the time they are most likely to pay. Every reply is answered in minutes.
  4. Get paidPayment plans and settlements are agreed within your limits. Anything outside them comes to you. You see every step as it happens.

How Thwipe AI works

Your unpaid invoices and anything that proves them: signed agreements, terms and conditions, statements, orders, delivery notes, emails. Messy is fine.

What it looks like

An example with made-up names and amounts.

A family left in June owing R24,600. On the third message they reply in isiZulu and ask to pay over six months. That is inside the limits the school set, so the plan is agreed and each payment is checked on the day it is due.

Two ways to collect. Two plain prices.

The same prices for every industry. Let our law firm collect for a success fee, or have us chase in your own business’s name for a flat monthly fee, and parents pay you directly.

Questions independent schools ask

Will families still at the school be contacted?

Only the accounts you hand over. You choose which families, and you can pause any account at any time.

Whose name do my debtors see?

When our law firm collects, every email, SMS and call, and the letter of demand, goes out in the name of Taylor Torrington Inc, acting for your business. When you collect in your own name, emails, SMS and calls go out in your business's name, and the law firm is not mentioned. Thwipe AI is the name on the messages we send to you. Every message and call to a debtor says that it is automated.

What does it cost when your law firm collects?

10% + VAT of the money we collect, or 5% + VAT if you send us 500 accounts or more. No sign-up fee and no monthly fee. Pricing in full

What does it cost to collect in my own name?

A monthly fee plus VAT, paid by card through PayFast: R650 for 10, R1,450 for 25, R3,900 for 100 or R8,500 for 400 accounts at a time. We take nothing from what you collect. You can change or cancel the plan at any time. How chasing in your own name works
