Upsolve

Upsolve is a nonprofit service that helps people prepare and file Chapter 7 bankruptcy forms on their own. It addresses the cost barrier of hiring a bankruptcy attorney by guiding users through the process from start to finish. The workflow begins with a short screener to check eligibility, followed by a detailed questionnaire about the user's financial situation. The service then reviews the generated forms for completeness and accuracy before the user files them at their local court.

The platform provides step-by-step guidance, explaining what information is needed for the forms and why. Users retain control of their data, which is kept on the service's servers until the forms are printed. Upsolve is offered at no cost to users and is funded by the Legal Services Corporation and charitable foundations. It is designed for individuals who are considering Chapter 7 bankruptcy and want to handle the paperwork themselves without paying for legal representation.
