and also, does filing bankruptcy eliminate your debt to social security if you owe them from them over paying you?
We just filed bankruptcy and it cost us $2000. We filed a chapter 7 and there are several unique problems with our case. It depends on how complicated the bankruptcy is and who your lawyer is. I have heard that can cost you as low as $500. I don't know about social security. Some types of taxes aren't allowed to be part of the bankruptcy. Call a bankruptcy lawyer. They will talk to you and answer many of your questions for free. Good luck.
