NYC Consumer Help Finder
In addition, if you need assistance with a consumer issue, such as debt collection, frozen bank accounts, applying for bankruptcy, or other consumer-related issues, you can submit an online application to the NYC Consumer Help Finder, a service of five NYC legal services providers, including the City Bar Justice Center. Your information will be routed to one of the five legal services providers which will get back to you, saving you the time of calling multiple providers.
