Can I include a unemployment benefit overpayment when filing for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You have no choice, you must list all of your debts in your bankruptcy. While over payment of unemployment benefits can typically be eliminated through bankruptcy, if there is a tax lien, you have been exceptionally unlucky, as liens of this nature cannot be eliminated through bankruptcy. However, if the equity in your property is less than the amount of the lien, the lien may be lowered to the total value of your property. Sorry, state exemptions dont apply!

Is there any way around this other than foreclosure?

Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
Your bankruptcy discharged your obligation on the mortgage note. So, if you walk away from the house the lender cannot come after you for any deficiency balance.
