Can a Canadian collection company seize money from a US account?

They cannot 'seize' money from a foreign bank. However there are many worldwide treaties regarding currency and debt, to which both the US and Canada are signatories. The US collection company would have to go through the courts, but it could well be the case that a request is sent to the Canadian bank, which will handle it per the terms of the treaty.

Do US collection agencies have any power in Canada?

No. Actually, they don't have much power in the US, either. Far less than they pretend. Not true. I am president of a commercial collection agency in the USA and represent many US and Canadian companies where the debtor is a Canadian Co. While its true that a collection agency has no real teeth in enforcement, the threat of legal action often motivates people into the check book or face a hand off to a partner law firm. I recently had an Italian client who was owed money by a Canadian company and they refused to pay until I referred the matter to a local barrister and suit was filed. Canadian laws have stronger enforcement provisions then the USA laws. The Canadian company is now paying the balance on installments. The power in any collection agency is their willingness to litigate if the debtor refuses to cooperate. If the debtor wants to play poker, then the agency needs to be able to call their bluff. And yes I sue on $3000 accounts where I think the debtor has the ability, if not the willingness to pay.

If a US collection agency contacts you about an outstanding debt, you should first verify the debt is valid and accurate. Communicate with the agency in writing, request validation of the debt, and consider negotiating a payment plan. Be aware of your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and seek advice from a financial advisor or attorney if needed.

Is Panther Chase & Associates a good collection agency to use if my client is refusing to pay?

Panther Chase and Associates is an excellent agency, especially if your company is in the tech sector. I have used them at two companies now, a software company and an internet platform company. They have collected accounts all over the world for us and their yield is about 3 times higher than other agencies we've tried. They have collected accounts that we thought were a lost cause. They have even collected accounts from India and the Middle East which are the some of the most difficult countries to deal with. If you are looking for a collection agency that specializes in software, internet, and international receivables there isn't an agency out there we would trust more.
