Solo

What It Does

Solo (formerly SoloSuit) is a consumer-facing tool for people being sued over a debt. The main product walks a defendant through a questionnaire and generates a legal “Answer” to a debt-collection lawsuit, which the user can file themselves or pay to have reviewed by an attorney and filed for them. A second product, SoloSettle, lets defendants negotiate a settlement with collectors through an online portal. The company is not a law firm and is aimed at self-represented consumers, not legal practitioners.

What We Found

The company is widely described as “TurboTax for debt lawsuits” and says it has helped hundreds of thousands of consumers respond to debt-collection suits. Founded in 2018 and based in San Francisco, it integrates with Plaid for the settlement-payment flow. Coverage is mixed: at least one consumer-defense law firm (Diwan Law) has published a critique arguing the self-help Answer process can leave defendants worse off than working with counsel.

Who It’s For

This is a consumer self-help product. For practitioners, the relevance is competitive or referral context — it is not a tool a firm would adopt for its own workflow.
