Consumer Credit Card Diversion Program

Have you been sued by a creditor to collect a credit card debt?  Are you a creditor seeking to collect a credit card debt?  The Lancaster County Credit Card Diversion Program (“Program”) is a joint effort between public and private sector entities to address the increase in credit card lawsuits filed in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. 

Created by the Administrative Order of President Judge David L. Ashworth on December 1, 2021, the Credit Card Diversion Program goes into effect on January 1, 2022. The primary goal of the Program is to help Lancaster County residents through use of free credit counselors and Court-supervised conciliation conferences to resolve credit card collection lawsuits.
