Saturday, October 24, 2026: 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. 

To kick off Pro Bono Week 2026, in partnership with ALIGHT and the National Survivor Law Collective (NSLC), LA County Law Library is offering the first in-person Human Trafficking Survivors Credit Repair Clinic.

Survivors of human trafficking can now file for credit repair under the Debt Bondage Repair Act (DBRA)! ALIGHT is working with attorneys to assist survivors in addressing the lasting impacts of financial abuse.

What does Credit Repair do?

• Block prior evictions, late rental payments, credit card or loan defaults, account openings and closings and unpaid bills that went to a collection agency from credit reports.
• Improve credit score
• Strengthen relationships with creditors, employers and landlords.

Credit repair does not mean terminating the root debt or loan forgiveness.

Deadlines: All ALIGHT intake calls (via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) must be scheduled by October 19th.

Eligibility: Survivors of human trafficking must:

• Have a connection to Greater Los Angeles.
• Be ready to work with an attorney.
• Be in financial need of free legal assistance.
• Be working with a case manager or program advocate who can support and coordinate with the attorney throughout the legal process.

Prior to the clinic, have these documents with you:

• Proof of Identity
• Proof of Current Address
• Copy of Most Recent Credit Reports from Equifax, Experian, and Transunion (any available)

Registration fees: FREE
