HELPS is a nonprofit law firm for seniors and disabled persons on a protected income who are being harassed for debts they can't pay. We're committed to educating people about their financial rights so they don't needlessly pay their collectors with money that should be used for food, heating, medicine, and other basic necessities.
This blog will be updated every Friday with articles and relevant information.

Testimonials Part 3!
Transcript: "I believe in the HELPS program, it has made a wonderful difference in my life and if there are any senior citizens that are having a problem, by all means look into HELPS. It's wonderful and it will help you tremendously."
Transcript: "Okay, my husband had a massive stroke. He was in perfect health, and he died and all our debtors were calling day after day after day, you know? Thirteen, fourteen fifteen calls a day. And I was having what I thought were seizures but they were just real bad panic attacks because I was grieving and trying to deal with the creditors at the same time. I was at my wits end. I couldn't grieve, you know, they didn't give me time to grieve, and they didn't seem to understand what I was going through and of course my income, I only have a third of the income I had when my husband was alive so I couldn't pay my bills. So I called the attorneys at HELPS and had a consultation with them and my life immediately changed for the better. The biggest benefit is not having to deal with people that call and are cross and, you know, threatening. They take care of that for me, I don't have to worry about that anymore. That gives me so much peace of mind because there was really nothing I could do until I talked to them. Oh! I'm so thankful for them, I thank God for them, they're my guardian angels."
Thanks to Sondra R. and Sharon T. for sharing their stories with us!

How HELPS Worked for Ron M.
Transcript: "Yeah once you have this, man, it's like somebody come and lift a burden off you. I mean lets face it, you know? Then the bill collectors would keep after you after this started, but boy after HELPS sent out the letter and said "hey if you have anything coming up, don't talk to him you talk to us, we're his attorney." Boy I tell you after that got down to, aw maybe one or two. What would happen is they would change collection agencies. They would have ABC collection one week and ABC I guess would turn in back in to them and say "hey, we can't do anything." They turn it over to XYZ collection agency so they'd call you the next week and so then again you go to HELPS and they contact them and these people just go away. Because they know that they can't harass you because HELPS will sue them if they keep doing that you know? Because you're at a disadvantage when you owe them money and stuff because you don't know what to do, you're not an attorney, you don't know what your rights are. You just know I owe them money and I can't pay it. But these guys, the attorneys at HELPS boy they really take the burden off you. Life really becomes a lot different after, a lot better."
A big thank you to Ron M. for taking the time to talk to us!
A note about HELPS:
We do not sue collection agencies, if you continue to have trouble with an agency we will help refer you to an attorney who can help. For information on what HELPS can legally do please look at the FAQ on our website.

Testimonial on HELPS from Ron B.
"They've done a wonderful job for me and I have no complaints" -Ron B.
Transcript: Other seniors should know what helps can do for them because it's a fairly new program and they're not aware of it. I certainly wasn't and that's one of the reasons that everybody should know about this! The constant harassment and some of the nasty people that are on the other line of that phone are eliminated completely. You have no more stress. And I can't press that enough--no more stress from creditors--it's all taken care of.
And a big thank you from the HELPS team to our client Ron for doing this interview with us!
