What is MI-Resolve?

MI-Resolve is an online service from the Michigan Supreme Court’s State Court Administrative Office that provides a FREE, quick, and easy way of resolving disputes that are typically filed as small claims, general civil, or landlord-tenant cases in the district court. Neighborhood disputes may also be filed on this system.

If a case is resolved through mediation a court case is not needed. If the case is not resolved, a court case can then be filed.

MI-Resolve for Debt Mediation:

Debt mediation is a process where a mediator facilitates productive communication between lenders and debtors with the goal of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution outside of a courtroom and without standing in front of a judge. The goal is for the lender to be repaid their debt, while helping those who owe the money avoid bankruptcy and additional financial stress.

MI-Resolve is an easy and flexible platform for debt mediation.

A variety of debts may be eligible for mediation, including:

  • Personal or payday loans
  • Credit card debt
  • Medical debt
  • Gambling debt
  • Farm debt
  • Business lines of credit and other unsecured business debt

Other Common MI-Resolve Case Types:

  • Living arrangements and loans not formalized with a lease or legal contract
  • Landlord-Tenant disputes on rental deposits or damages
  • Contract cancellation prior to completion of all work
  • Quality of home or vehicle repairs
  • Disputes over billing for professional services
  • Collection of wages after job termination
  • Neighborhood disputes involving use of property
