Debt Help, Traps, and Your Rights — worksheet

Before you start: where your answers live

What you type here is saved only in this browser, on this device, and it stays across visits — no account, nothing sent to a server.

It will be lost if you clear your browser/site data, use a different browser or device, or open the site in private/incognito mode. For anything you want to keep permanently, also save it elsewhere (print it, or copy it into your own notes).

Help, traps, and rights — a readiness check

This isn’t about grading; it’s about knowing where you’d turn before you need to.

PromptMy answer
A nonprofit counselor I could call (NFCC/FCAA), and their number
The three FDCPA rights I’d lean on in a collection call
My state’s statute of limitations on this kind of debt (or “need to check”)
The warning signs that would tell me it’s time to get help
Red flags that mean a “debt relief” offer is a trap

Everything you type saves automatically on this device — no account, nothing sent to a server. Clearing site data or switching browser/device erases it.
