Dispute Letter Templates

This is a template library, not a law firm. You select the template and the statute. You enter the facts. The platform formats your letter. The platform does not choose which law applies to your situation and does not check whether your claim is valid or timely.

Step 1 — Choose a category

Pick the category that matches your situation. Each category covers a specific federal statute or state statutory framework. If you are not sure which category applies, consult an attorney first — the wrong template can make things worse, not better.

Step 2 — Before you generate a letter, read this

This is a template — not legal advice.

You choose the statute and the template. You enter the facts. This tool formats them into a letter.

No attorney has reviewed your letter. No attorney has reviewed your facts. CommUnity OS is not a law firm. Using this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Before you send this letter, a lawyer should review it

Low-cost or free legal help is available in Illinois:

For credit, debt collection, background check, and consumer-protection matters (FCRA, FDCPA, and related):

For servicemember and military legal matters (SCRA and related):

  • ABA Military Pro Bono Project — militaryprobono.org (free civil legal assistance for junior-enlisted active-duty servicemembers and their families)
  • Illinois Armed Forces Legal Assistance — Illinois State Bar Association military assistance program
  • Base JAG Office Locator — legalassistance.law.af.mil (DoD JAG office finder — free legal assistance for active-duty servicemembers)

Legal claims have deadlines

FCRA, FDCPA, SCRA, and insurance claims can be forfeited if letters are sent late or to the wrong recipient. Some federal statutes of limitations run from the date of the underlying problem; some run from the date you discovered the problem; some require you to file a complaint with a government agency before you can sue. The template does not calculate deadlines for you and does not check the recipient's validity.

Sending a legal letter can have consequences

A recipient may respond with their own legal action. A poorly-drafted letter can forfeit rights (for example, an FDCPA dispute that lacks the statutorily-required language may not trigger the protections it was meant to invoke). Do not send a letter you have not had reviewed by a licensed attorney.
