The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) seeks a non-profit legal services organization to be the designated provider to deliver consumer protection legal support for the Centers. The selected legal services provider would provide legal support, including advice and guidance, limited counsel, and full representation, to Center financial counselors and clients with low and moderate incomes on legal issues including but not limited to student loans, lending violations or unjust lending practices, fraudulent or predatory debt collection, money judgements, bankruptcy, loan contracts review, and consumer protection law (“consumer financial legal issues”). It is preferable, but not required, that the provider would also be able to provide legal advice and guidance with Social Security Administration disability overpayments and other financial issues related to disability benefits
