About DidNotPayMe

The internet
remembers
who didn’t pay.

DidNotPayMe is a public accountability platform built for the people who did the work, delivered the goods, and never got paid. We exist because reputation is the only currency that can’t be hidden offshore.

Our Mission

We level the playing field between the people who owe and the people who are owed.

Every year, millions of freelancers, contractors, small business owners, and individuals are left holding the bag. The work gets done. The invoice goes ignored. The calls go unanswered. And the person who didn’t pay moves on — often to do it again.

The legal system is slow, expensive, and inaccessible for most people. Debt collectors are adversarial. And the subjects of these claims know it — they bank on your inability to do anything about it.

DidNotPayMe changes that calculus. We give you a permanent, searchable, public record that follows the person who didn’t pay — their name, their business, their conduct — without requiring a lawyer, a filing fee, or years of your life.

A claim on DidNotPayMe is a matter of public record. It appears in search results. It shows up when employers, partners, clients, and lenders look them up. That visibility — free, fast, and permanent — is the most powerful accountability tool most people have never had access to.

“

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. And for people who don’t pay what they owe, the internet never forgets.

Our Principles

What we believe — and how we operate.

These aren’t aspirational bullet points. They are the architectural decisions behind how the platform is built and moderated.

01
Truth is the only acceptable standard.
Claims on this platform are public and permanent. We require every submission to be accurate and good-faith. We reject submissions that are vague, unverifiable, or that show signs of bad intent. Defamation has no home here.
02
Access should not require a lawyer.
The ability to hold someone accountable for an unpaid obligation should not depend on whether you can afford $350 per hour in legal fees. DidNotPayMe is free to use. The only fee we charge is a percentage of what we help you recover.
03
Subjects have a right to respond.
Every person named in a claim has the ability to file a formal dispute through our platform. We review every dispute seriously. We’ve removed claims when the evidence warranted it. We are not a one-sided platform — we are a fair one.
04
Moderation is not optional.
No claim publishes without review. Our AI-assisted moderation layer screens every submission before a human moderator makes the final call. We maintain audit logs of every moderation decision, every status change, and every dispute action.
05
We are not a collection agency.
DidNotPayMe is a publication and accountability platform, not a debt collector. We do not contact Subjects on your behalf, make payment demands, or engage in collection activity. Our power is publication — and that is enough.
06
Privacy is taken seriously.
We disclose exactly what data we collect, who we share it with, and why. We name our infrastructure providers — Supabase, Cloudflare, n8n, OpenAI — in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell data. We do not run advertising.

The Platform

Built to scale. Built to last.

DidNotPayMe is not a static directory. It is a fully automated claim-to-publication pipeline — from submission through AI moderation, human review, site provisioning, and dispute handling — built on enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Automated Site Provisioning
Each approved claim receives a dedicated, indexed subdomain — automatically provisioned within hours of approval.
Instant
AI-Assisted Moderation
Every submission is scored and evaluated by GPT-4o before a human moderator makes the final publication decision.
GPT-4o
Dispute Workflow Engine
Subjects can file disputes, verify identity, submit evidence, and receive moderation decisions — all through a structured, audited workflow.
OTP-Verified
Search Engine Indexed
Every Deadbeat Page is a public subdomain designed to rank in Google, Bing, and other search engines for the Subject’s name.
SEO-Native
Full Audit Logging
Every moderator action, status change, and dispute decision is recorded in a tamper-evident audit log — a verifiable record of every decision we make.
Transparent
Demand Letter Generation
Claimants can generate and send a professionally formatted demand letter — creating a documented legal paper trail before any escalation.

Our Commitments

  • We review every claim before publication. No exceptions.
  • We provide every Subject the ability to dispute and respond.
  • We remove claims when evidence supports removal.
  • We charge nothing unless we help you recover funds.
  • We never sell user data or run third-party advertising.
  • We log every moderation decision. Nothing is hidden.

Accountability cuts both ways.

We hold debtors accountable through public record. In return, we hold ourselves to the same standard.

Every claim we publish carries our implicit endorsement of the moderation process behind it. That is not a responsibility we take lightly. We reject claims that can’t be substantiated. We take disputes seriously. We remove content when the evidence warrants it.

This is not a platform for harassment, competitive sabotage, or settling personal scores. It is a platform for people who are owed money and have exhausted the quiet options. If that describes you, we are on your side.

Ready to be heard?

Filing a claim is free, takes under ten minutes, and creates a permanent public record. If you’re owed money, you have nothing to lose.
