Montana Legal Services Association (MLSA) is soliciting responses from vendors interested in partnering with MLSA on its Consumer Financial Stability Project. We will consider all responses that are sent to the RFP Coordinator, Alex Clark, at [email protected] by 5:00 pm MDT on March 31, 2021.
Background
MLSA received a Technology Initiative Grant from the Legal Services Corporation to develop Tools including: an automated interactive pro se answer form to make it easier for users to respond to lawsuits; a garnishment calculator to accurately compute the amount of income a user could be garnished based on answers to a guided interview about type of debt and total income, as well as relevant state and federal law; and a consumer debt tool to identify possible claims, defenses, and exempt income, and to provide resources on common consumer questions. The consumer debt tool will use branching logic and a guided interview process to provide targeted legal information to users with debt‐related legal problems.
