They scaled to Series C. They forgot to pay your invoice.
Technology and SaaS debt collection operates at the intersection of rapid growth, creative accounting, and genuinely inventive excuses. Subscription disputes, licensing disagreements, integration failures, and the classic "we pivoted." We have heard them all. We collect regardless.
Subscription and licensing disputes
SaaS contracts create recurring billing obligations that debtors dispute retrospectively. 'We cancelled in month 3' — but the contract says 12-month minimum. 'The platform did not perform as specified' — but the SLA was met. Subscription disputes require contract forensics, not templated demand letters.
Rapid corporate change
Tech companies restructure, merge, rename, and pivot faster than any other sector. The company that signed your contract may have been acquired, spun off, or dissolved by the time the invoice is overdue. We trace corporate genealogies and identify successor liability.
A UK SaaS company licenses to a German enterprise through an Irish subsidiary billing from a Singapore entity. The debtor claims the contract is with the Singapore entity, which has no assets. We map the corporate structure and identify where the obligation — and the assets — actually sit.
'We're a startup' defence
Early-stage companies invoke 'startup' status as a defence against payment obligations. They are not exempt from contract law. If they signed an agreement and received a service, they owe payment. Their burn rate is not your problem.
Before collection, we review the SaaS agreement, MSA, SOW, or licensing terms. We identify: minimum commitment periods, auto-renewal clauses, termination notice requirements, and SLA metrics. The debtor's excuse must be measured against the contract — not their narrative.
Corporate structure tracing
Tech companies operate through multiple entities across jurisdictions. We trace the structure — parent company, subsidiaries, billing entities, holding companies — and identify where the contractual obligation sits and where the assets are held.
US tech debts go through state court in the optimal jurisdiction. UK SaaS disputes use the Pre-Action Protocol. German licensing claims use the Mahnbescheid. We do not apply a one-size-fits-all process to an industry that does not operate that way.
AVG CASE VALUE
US, GB, DE, SG
Technology debt concentrates in innovation hubs. United States (California, New York, Texas), United Kingdom (London), Germany (Berlin, Munich), and Singapore are our most active technology jurisdictions. Each has different contract law traditions, court systems, and enforcement mechanisms — and we file natively in all four.

$340,000 (18-month SaaS subscription)
Debtor claimed platform "did not meet specifications" — cancelled at month 6 of 18-month contract.
InterStation reviewed the SLA reports — 99.7% uptime, all KPIs met. The "specifications" the debtor cited were from a pre-contract demo, not the signed MSA. Filed in California. Summary judgment obtained. 100% collected in 38 days.
The debtor's marketing team wrote the cancellation email. Their legal team had not read the contract.
Do you understand SaaS contract structures?
Yes. Auto-renewal, minimum commitments, termination notice windows, SLA-based performance metrics, usage-based billing disputes — we analyse these before collection begins.
How do you handle companies that have been acquired?
We trace successor liability. If Company A acquired Company B and assumed its obligations, Company A owes the debt. If the acquisition explicitly excluded the liability, we assess alternatives.
What about early-stage companies with no assets?
We assess the company's funding status, director guarantees, and parent company backing. A startup with $20M in Series B funding and no revenue is not insolvent — it is pre-revenue. Different thing entirely.
Which jurisdictions do tech debts concentrate in?
US (California, New York, Texas), UK (London), Germany (Berlin, Munich), and Singapore. We file natively in all four.
Do you handle cryptocurrency or blockchain disputes?
We handle contractual disputes involving technology companies regardless of their product vertical. If a blockchain company signed a contract and received services, standard commercial law applies.
