Both now have thousands of dollars of debts, not dischargeable in BK. A Chapter 13 might be the solution, but possibly not. So I'm going to be negotiating with L&I to come up with a payment plan, or possibly settling the debt at a discount. Would appreciate if anybody would be willing to talk to me for a few minutes to get the lay of the land on negotiating with L&I. If so, please let me know how/when you'd like me to give you a call.
