The cases also reject an automatic equation between every negotiated adjustment and legal practice. Neither finding supplies general authorization for a modern debtor-side settlement business. **This remains a component investigation; no Alabama or A066 acceptance follows.**\n\n**Baseline:** October 22, 2026, Pacific.\n**Actual access:** October 23, 2026, UTC, corresponding to October 22, 2026, Pacific. Last research clock check: **06:25:28 UTC / 11:25:28 p.m. PDT**.

The source and claim registers contain the complete identifiers.\n\n## A. Substantive findings\n\n### 1. Official §34-3-6 and the amendment-history reconciliation\n\n#### Current official codification: still held\n\nThe legislature’s current §34-3-6 URL returned a navigation shell rather than the section. The legacy official HTML route also failed. A rendered-browser connection attempt timed out. Consequently, **this pass did not obtain readable current official operative codification or certify the absence of intervening amendments**. The 2025 Justia reproduction supplied in PASS-01 retains its existing unofficial designation. **C001, C007.**\n\nThe signed or finally enrolled **Act 2018-561** also remains unread. That limitation is narrower than having no primary legislative evidence: the following official materials were successfully read.\n\n- The LSA’s **2018 enacted-law summary**, printed page 51, identifies Act 2018-561/HB89 as authorizing special-license attorneys to provide the specified Bar-organized or Bar-recognized pro bono services. It states **July 1, 2018** as the effective date.\n- The official **2018 Acts Index**, printed page 34, identifies the amendment to §34-3-6.\n- The official **HB89 engrossed bill** reproduces the proposed section and contains the House clerk’s certification of passage **as amended on March 15, 2018**.\n- The official **January 31, 2018 committee amendment, instrument 190922-2**, directs deletion of the proposed employer restriction. **C002–C003.** [alison.legislature.state.al.us+3](https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/files/pdf/lsa/Legal/2018-Summaries.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n**Employer-language reconciliation:** The committee amendment supplies a concrete explanation for the deletion reflected in later reproductions. But the engrossed PDF’s extracted text still includes that language, and legible amendment markup was not verified. The House certification does not, by itself, establish the final Senate-approved and signed wording. **Do not impose the employer restriction as verified current law, or characterize the extraction discrepancy as a proved conflict between enacted law and codification.**\n\n#### 2019–2026 reconciliation: what was actually established\n\n| Year/session | Actual evidence read | Result and remaining limit |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **2019 Regular Session** | Official Acts Index, relevant title 34 sequence; official Act 2019-470 summary; complete SB395 enrolled-document reproduction. **S007, S009–S010.** | No §34-3-6 amendment entry appeared in the relevant index sequence. The six express corrections in the enrolled reproduction do not include that section. The official summary states **June 10, 2019** effectiveness for the codification act. The authenticated incorporated Code text and official signed act remain unread. **C004–C005.** |\n| **2019 First Special Session** | Official four-page index. **S008.** | The code-change entries read do not identify §34-3-6. This is a bounded index check. **C005.** |\n| **2020** | Targeted searches and candidate official index/disposition routes. | No readable official session index obtained. **Unresolved**, including relevant codification changes and any special sessions. **C007.** |\n| **2021** | Same category of searches and retrieval attempts. | No readable official session index obtained. **Unresolved. C007.** |\n| **2022** | Same category of searches and retrieval attempts. | No readable official session index obtained. **Unresolved. C007.** |\n| **2023** | Same category of searches and retrieval attempts. | No readable official session index obtained. **Unresolved. C007.** |\n| **2024 Regular Session** | Official disposition chart dated October 30, 2024; relevant title 34 sequences. **S011.** | No §34-3-6 entry in the sequences examined. The chart’s publication date is not a legal effective date; other sessions and corrections remain outside this bounded check. **C005.** |\n| **2025 Regular Session** | Official disposition table dated September 10, 2025; title 34 sequence. **S012.** | No §34-3-6 entry in that sequence. This does not establish the contents of the authenticated 2025 supplements. **C005.** |\n| **2026 through actual access** | **Signed Act 2026-580/SB206**, and its official Secretary of State approval record. **S013–S014.** | Approval was **April 16, 2026**; §6 provides immediate effectiveness. Its six express corrections do not include §34-3-6. However, §1 incorporates separate published supplements, and §4 preserves other 2026 enactments. No complete 2026 disposition record or incorporated §34-3-6 text was obtained. **C006–C007.** |\n\nThe 2019 and 2026 codification checks therefore narrow the inquiry without proving that §34-3-6 remained unchanged. Both involve separately incorporated Code volumes that were not read.

Porter v. Alabama Association of Credit Executives* concerned a commercial **creditor-side** collection association. At 338 So. 2d 814, the court allowed peaceful collection of undisputed, uncontested delinquent accounts, subject to the remaining restrictions. The opinion retained boundaries concerning legal threats and disputed indebtedness; it did not adjudicate a debtor-side settlement program.\n\nThe September 10, 1976 rehearing modification deleted the original categorical rejection of the 5% follow-up fee. That deletion is **not a present consumer-fee authorization**. **C009–C010.** [law.justia.com+1](https://law.justia.com/cases/alabama/supreme-court/1976/338-so-2d-812-1.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n#### What the privity wording permits—and what it does not establish\n\nThe most useful new authority is the two-stage *Wilkey* litigation:\n\n- **1939, 238 Ala. 121, 127:** On the pleaded facts, independent insurance adjusters serving a regular clientele were neither ordinary employees nor statutory privies. The court described privity through a claim derived by or under another, including succession or assignment. The judgment was reversed for a pleading error; this was not a final finding that every adjustment was unlawful. **C011.**\n- **1943 rehearing, 244 Ala. 568, 582:** The court expressly explained that the relevant category does not encompass an adjuster having qualifying privity or ordinary employment with **either** party. This construction applies to that adjustment category; it does not erase other categories of legal practice. **C012.** [law.justia.com+1](https://law.justia.com/cases/alabama/supreme-court/1939/238-ala-121.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n**Debtor-side implication, identified as inference:** A customer’s engagement contract cannot simply be assumed to create the relationship contemplated by the statute. The 1939 decision is substantial contrary evidence to treating every professional service relationship as sufficient. Conversely, the “either party” construction prevents a categorical assertion that a debtor-side relationship can never qualify. **No directly deciding modern debtor-settlement or DMP authority was located that closes this application question. C015.**\n\n#### Negotiation and communication are not automatically legal practice\n\nThe 1943 *Wilkey* merits opinion distinguished permissible factual investigation and specified settlements without a liability controversy from legal advice and other prohibited work. It permitted the particular increased-amount negotiations described at pages 580–581 while finding other conduct unlawful. **C013.**\n\nLikewise, *Dun & Bradstreet*, 352 F. Supp. 1226, 1228–1229, treated passive transmission of parties’ communications and compromise offers differently from exercising settlement discretion or providing legal advice. The Fifth Circuit affirmed on that opinion. These were creditor-side facts, not approval of modern debtor advocacy. **C014.** [OpenJurist+2](https://openjurist.org/244/ala/568/wilkey-v-state-ex-rel-smith?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n#### Other statutory categories must remain separate\n\nThe framework reproduced in the official legislative materials and applied in the cases includes:\n\n| Category | Material condition for this pass |\n| --- | --- |\n| **§34-3-6(b)(1)** | Representative activity connected with pending or prospective judicial proceedings. |\n| **§34-3-6(b)(2)** | Legal advice or rights-affecting document work for consideration or direct/indirect, present/anticipated pecuniary benefit. |\n| **§34-3-6(b)(3)** | Compensated representative acts directed toward preventing/redressing a wrong or establishing/enforcing a right. |\n| **§34-3-6(b)(4)** | Vocational adjustment of the specified defaulted, controverted or disputed matters, subject to the privity/ordinary-employment wording and judicial construction. |\n\nThis is a **judicially supported framework**, not a claim that the complete current official codification was retrieved. **C008.** [alison.legislature.state.al.us+1](https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/files/pdf/SearchableInstruments/2018RS/PrintFiles/HB89-Eng.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n*Godwin*, 784 So. 2d 1014, 1015, illustrates the separate court-representation restriction: a nonlawyer executor could represent himself but not file the estate’s claim. *Greer v. O’Dell* similarly requires careful reading: its creditor-servicer holding concerned action **through licensed counsel** and affirmed reversal of the contrary bankruptcy ruling. Neither supplies lay debtor-negotiation permission. **C016.** [law.justia.com+1](https://law.justia.com/cases/alabama/supreme-court/2000/1980389-1.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n### 3.

Alabama State Bar**, 676 So. 2d 306, 307–308, 310 (Ala. 1996). **S023; C018.** | The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed discipline involving nonlawyer staff giving bankruptcy advice and preparing filings while lawyer contact was delayed until court. This directly addresses debtor-side legal work. | It does not decide ordinary out-of-court concession negotiations, financial education, or §34-3-6(b)(4) privity.

Result for the debtor-side boundary\n\n**No generic nonlawyer settlement or DMP model is cleared by this record. Equally, this record does not establish that every settlement negotiation is prohibited.**\n\nThe necessary classification remains conduct-specific: what the representative actually does, whether legal rights are analyzed or asserted, whether documents or proceedings are involved, the debt’s disputed/default status, the representative’s discretion, and the actual relationship to the underlying claim. **C008, C011–C019, C024–C026.**\n\nKeeping money in an independent customer account addresses custody. It does not, by itself, establish statutory privity or eliminate legal advice, document preparation, or representative legal work. That is an **application of the identified categories**, not a reported holding about a particular dedicated-account product. Marketing labels and business-purpose debt likewise supply no independent clearance in the provisions and cases examined. **C025.**\n\n## B.
