A government office
A dispute with a government office. Keep every form, letter and call.
Permits, licenses, code notices, a bill from a city or county, a decision you don't agree with. Government disputes run on paperwork, and the clearest way through them is a dated record of what was sent and what came back.
For disability or veterans' benefits claims, free accredited help is available, and that's usually the better first step.

You're raising it with the office
- The decision or notice, and the date it arrived
- Every form you submitted, the date, and how it went
- Every call: date, office, the name given, any reference number
- Confirmation numbers and receipts
- Every reply, and every time there wasn't one
A notice says you owe or broke a rule
- The notice, and what it says you did
- Dated photos or records for the date it mentions
- What you sent in reply, and when
- Any inspection or visit: date, who came, what was said
- Any date written on the notice, noted the day it arrives
Emails you forward to the case address from your own sign-in address file themselves, with the date they were sent. Anything else waits in Mail waiting until you check it.
How it works
One record, either way round.
Everything in one place. Your own notes, photos, files, emails, pasted texts and voice notes go into one dated register for this case.
Two dates on every entry. When it happened, and when you wrote it down. The second date can’t be changed, not by you and not by us.
Letters for both directions. 84 letters, eight of them written for the person answering. Each one fills in the facts from your record and leaves the ask blank. What you want is yours to write. Nothing is sent for you, and when you send one, it goes back into the record as a dated item.
Emails go into the case. Every case can have its own email address. Once you’ve turned it on with Copy in the case’s “Email it in” box, the emails you write from your case carry it in BCC. Emails you forward from your own sign-in address file themselves; anything else waits in Mail waiting until you check it.
Get an AI to help, if you want to. Copy a ready-made request into your own AI and bring the answer back. When it comes back as a letter draft, BuildMyEvidence checks its dates, amounts, item numbers and names against your record. There is no AI inside BuildMyEvidence.
One case file at the end. A cover, a one-page summary, the contents, then the record, numbered and dated, with every file at the back. The summary page also downloads on its own.
What it costs
Free to build. $59 once, when you want the finished file.
Building the record is free, for as long as you need it. So is reading every page of the case file, downloading any single file, and taking everything out: every file you’ve added, each with its fingerprint. You pay $59 once per case when you want to download the finished case file, the summary page or the itemized packs. No subscription. Nothing renews.
What it won’t do
It won’t tell you what happened, who’s right, or what to ask for. It doesn’t give legal advice. It keeps the record that anyone advising you would want to see.
Questions
- They say they never got it.
- That's why each submission goes in with its date and how it was sent. Keep the confirmation number or the mailing receipt.
- Is there a deadline?
- Look on the notice itself. Write the date down the day it arrives. BuildMyEvidence doesn't give legal advice on timing.
- I've been passed between departments.
- Log each one: who you spoke to, where they sent you, and the date.
