I was on unemployment about 8 years ago. I collected for around two years. I had a part time job during this time at a cheap diner where I often did not make much money. I would declare to unemployment each week how much I made. I guess there was a discrepancy and unemployment must have contacted the restaurant who submitted amounts I made which were completely falsified and inflated (this restaurant has since gone under). As a result unemployment now states I collected unemployment when I was not entitled. I disputed this however I also was evicted at that time and although I had my mail forwarded you can not forward government mail so if I received any info regarding my disputes it went unanswered. They have been sending me bills for $12,000! Just recently I've been receiving many solicitations from small law firms stating a lien has been filed against me and they could represent me. I do not own property nor assets, no cars. A very small checking account is all I have. I read in PA a lien can only be filed against real estate? Should I be concerned? I have no real estate? Will this bill cancel out after so many years? Is bankruptcy my only solution?
