'In so many ways, the legal fees that we make poor people pay are like poll taxes. If you can’t afford to pay the fee, you can’t access your rights,' Rohan Pavuluri (RPavuluri) tells TIME

Rohan Pavuluri, founder of the financial-education and civil rights nonprofit Upsolve, in Washington Square Park in New York, Jan. 18, 2022. Pavuluri calls it"a fundamental civil rights injustice" that more than 90% of people who are sued over consumer debt do not have lawyers.Millions of Americans face consumer debt lawsuits every year and for many low-income families, getting legal advice is limited.

Upsolve, Pavuluri argues, should be able to make legal advice more accessible with a program that vets and trains local volunteers to give users assistance on what to do when sued by a debt collector.
