Download on the App StoreThe Story Behind It
The app's creator was personally sued for debt in Wisconsin — a 9-month pro se case against a debt buyer. He filed his own Answer, ran his own defense, and won. The case was dismissed without prejudice on April 9, 2026, after the court found the plaintiff failed to prove AAA compliance. Answered was built to give everyone else the same fighting chance.
