You don't need a lawyer to recover your school fees from an intermediary who disappeared — Immani lets you file a dispute against the intermediary's phone number for KSh 100.

Typically, when someone sends money abroad for school fees, they use an intermediary to facilitate the transaction. However, if the intermediary disappears with your money, you're left with nothing. The usual advice would be to go to court, but this can take months, and you may not even get your money back.

Immani offers a faster and simpler alternative. You can file a dispute against the intermediary's phone number for KSh 100, and they will be notified immediately. This gives you a private window to engage with the intermediary and try to resolve the issue amicably. If the intermediary doesn't respond, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up their phone number within Immani, which tends to prompt a reply.

Here's what happens next:

1. You file a dispute against the intermediary's phone number on Immani for KSh 100.
2. The intermediary is notified immediately and has a private window to respond and engage with you directly.
3. If the intermediary doesn't respond, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up their phone number within Immani.
