Deadline help

When the intake is being driven by a real deadline.

This page is for files where the problem is already active: a garnishment, foreclosure step, repossession risk, court date, or another event that means timing matters as much as document gathering.

When To Treat It As Urgent

These are the kinds of facts that should move the file out of normal gathering mode.

  • A wage garnishment is already in place or about to start.
  • A foreclosure notice, sale date, or mortgage-default deadline is active.
  • A vehicle is already at risk of repossession or has already been taken.
  • A lawsuit, hearing, examination, or other court event is already scheduled.
  • A creditor deadline is concrete enough that waiting on a perfect packet would be a mistake.

Upload First

Send the records that prove the timing problem before you finish every other category.

Notice or court paper

Upload the paper that shows the actual deadline, hearing, repossession risk, or collection event first.

Basic intake identity

Add the filer name, contact details, and any existing Submission ID so the urgent file lands in one place immediately.

Income and bank proof

Even in urgent files, recent pay and account records help the office start understanding what kind of case posture is realistic.

Notes about what is missing

If the rest of the packet is incomplete, say exactly what is still being gathered and when you expect it.
