Limitations

What we do not do.

  • We prepare documents and route them; we do not guarantee any outcome, refund or Tribunal ruling.
  • An official Tribunal case number is recorded only when the Tribunal itself provides one.
  • We do not insure your deposit, lend money or represent you in court. For representation, our partners page lists independent legal-aid organisations.

Start free. Upgrade when you need protection.

The Free plan is permanent, not a trial. Paid plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time.
