Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Your wife's bankruptcy should not affect your credit unless you are jointly liable for some or all of her debts. Were you a cosigner or guarantor on any of her debts?

We get into legal trouble for NOT reporting Bancruptcy Fraud

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I don't see a question here, and there isn't enough information to answer what I think you're asking. What is your relationship to this case?  Are you the debtor?  Are you a creditor?  Are you representing the debtor, or a creditor?   Different answers for different relationships.  If you're a creditor, it's likely in your best interest to report the bankruptcy fraud, but I don't see how you have any legal obligation to do so. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

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!
