We collect school fees that parents owe your school.

AI that chases unpaid school fees for public fee-paying schools, with a law firm behind it. It emails, texts and calls parents in their own language, agrees payment plans within your limits, and leaves the governing body free to get on with running the school.

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 public fee-paying 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 public fee-paying schools

Who owes you

Parents and guardians behind on school fees, including families who have left the school.

What to upload

A fee statement export from your school system or a spreadsheet of what each family owes.

Why it gets left

A school cannot hold a child back over unpaid fees, so chasing the parents is the only way to be paid.

How it works for public fee-paying schools

  1. UploadA fee statement export from your school system or a spreadsheet of what each family owes. 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 owes R12,600 for the year. They reply in Setswana and agree to pay R1,400 a month over nine months, inside the limits the governing body set.

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 public fee-paying schools ask

Can the messages come from the school instead of a law firm?

Yes. Choose “We collect in your name” and every message goes out in the school’s name, and parents pay the school directly.

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
