DebtLetter will help you automatically draft and mail a tracked demand letter that will make debt collectors stop harassing you. The letter works by triggering powerful debt collection laws. This is the first step a lawyer would take to help their client. ⚖️🚀
Congrats to the Juris team for launching DebtSettle! I cant think of a team more qualified to tackle the pesky problem of debt collectors. Whats next in the product pipeline?
@mattmayberry Thanks! Well, first off, we'd love to hear any ideas out of the PH crew for the next type of dispute we take on!
But, we’re also working on tools to help with trademark and copyright enforcement, landlord/tenant disputes, and building out the pro versions of everything to help lawyers and counselors mow through more disputes as well. (More on all the broader stuff at https://getjuris.com)
@mattmayberry We really really wanted to build something to make 83(b) filings more quick and easy. But legal best practice there requires a wet signature, so unless you want someone from our team showing up at your office...
@mattmayberry@thekerp This wet signature problem would be a good challenge for Tusk Venture ( @yrechtman ) or Trust Ventures ( @salenchuri ). What do you think guys? Would it be nice to have robots take care of your next 83(b)?
@mattmayberry@thekerp Can't wait to hear more about the landlord/tenant disputes tools in the future. I bet it will be invaluable in urban centers where these problems run rampant, such as New York City!
Hi fellow Hunters 👋
I'm Adam, co-founder of Juris. After years of lurking about here I'm pretty excited to launch something!
Juris is a team of lawyers and technologists building the next evolution of dispute resolution and legal tools. We think an important part of this is building accessible and affordable self-help tools like DebtSettle to empower people to take action on their own.
Debt collection harassment is a huge problem in the United States. Last year 40 million people said they were contacted about a debt they didn't owe. And 1 in 3 people have a debt "in collection," meaning someone other than the original issuer is trying to collect. In this case there are very specific laws about how those collectors are allowed to behave.
Our letter triggers these laws, and our delivery tracking provides you with the evidence trail you'll need to take further action if collectors continue to break them.
Check it out. We'd love any feedback, and I'm happy to answer any questions here.

Yep! Actually, you’re right that you can do it yourself (as you may have even learned from our site.) That’s how we know this works. But… per their reports, people still aren’t doing it. So, we’ve made it even easier with our online interview, and while we were at it we’ve took care to write a letter that leans on a few extra things from the law that their draft leaves out, making ours even stronger. The interview also lets us customize the letter more carefully to each user’s case, and empower them with information as they go. When you run the time and money math on going to the post office to mail a certified letter like everyone really should (Cost: $4-5), we think our price is more than reasonable and accessible.
@imogen_happy great question! At this point the letter just cites federal law, which is very powerful, so no need to worry about which state you're in. This is the same way the sample letters from the CFPB do it. It is possible that in the future we'll make these letters even stronger by adding language that cites state laws too, based on where you are.
