About StopCollectors
StopCollectors helps people make sense of debt-collection pressure and reach the right next step. We accept inquiries nationwide and publish educational guides for consumers in every state.
The California service
Eligible California matters may qualify for a limited engagement with Lion Legal, P.C., a California law firm. The service is written creditor outreach about one personal, family, or household account. It may include asking for account support and, when appropriate, seeking a written reduction.
What the service does not cover
It does not include preparing or filing an Answer or motion, appearing in court, acting as litigation counsel, monitoring a docket, handling a levy or garnishment response, or protecting a deadline. People facing court action must promptly use their court's self-help center, legal aid, or a lawyer licensed in their state.
Nationwide inquiries
We keep the intake open nationwide because an out-of-state person may need a warm introduction to independent local counsel. We may try to locate that help with the person's permission, but no referral or representation is guaranteed.
How fees work
The review is free. Under the current California limited-service agreement, the result fee is 50% of verified savings on the enrolled account, capped at $1,000. No documented reduction means no result fee. The signed agreement controls the actual fee and scope.
