The disputes Portia is built around.

This is you if

you did work that hasn't been paid for, supplied goods or services and the invoice has gone unanswered, lent money that hasn't come back, or you're owed a deposit or a refund and can't get it returned. It might be a few hundred pounds or a few thousand; the problem is the same, you're out of pocket and the other side has gone quiet.

How Portia helps

it helps you work out what a claim to recover money like this usually turns on, whether it's a straightforward debt or a broader claim, and what each version would need you to show. Then it checks your own documents, the agreement, the invoices, the messages, against that, so you can see which parts are well supported and where the gaps are, before you commit to anything.

This is you if

you had an agreement, written or not, and the other side didn't do what they promised, did it badly, or you only agreed because of something they told you that turned out not to be true. A service that was never finished, work that fell short, a deal you were misled into.

How Portia helps

it helps you identify the basis a claim like this might rest on, what the agreement required, what went wrong, and what it cost you, and works through what each of those would need in evidence. It draws only on the documents you provide, so what you end up with reflects your actual case, not a template.

This is you if

you bought goods, a service, or digital content as a consumer, and it was faulty, not as described, not fit for what you needed, or never delivered, and the trader won't put it right.

How Portia helps

it helps you work through the kind of claim a consumer in your position may have, and what it would need to establish, then checks your evidence, the order, the correspondence, the fault, against it. It keeps you on the consumer footing that applies to you, rather than treating it as an ordinary commercial dispute.

This is you if

you're renting your home and your deposit wasn't protected the way it should have been, or your landlord won't carry out repairs the property needs.

How Portia helps

it helps you understand what a claim like yours usually turns on and what a court would expect to see, and checks it against your tenancy documents, your correspondence with the landlord, and the evidence of the problem. It stays on the tenant's side of the dispute, the position you're actually in.

This is you if

someone damaged your property, came onto your land without permission, is interfering with your use of it, or is holding onto something that belongs to you and won't return it.

How Portia helps

it helps you work out which kind of claim fits what happened, and what each would need you to show, then checks your evidence against it. Because these situations can look similar but rest on different foundations, the value is often in getting the foundation right before anything is drafted.
