A NY-based company that owes for empty container demurrage is dodging our calls and emails. They owe a partner carrier for empty container demurrage.
He verbally agreed to pay this once he got his credit from Evergreen but has not made good.

Any options for collection agencies in the USA that can at the least send him a demand letter and make him pay?
 
You might be able to go after their bond holder? I found asking them if you should contact "bond holder" for payment seems to get them moving.
But I'm no expert.
 
The bond does not cover empty container demurrage. You actually have to have goods from a 3rd party. The bond is actually to protect the 3rd party Freight owner) from collection for non payment.

Makes sense. I don't know much about that end.
