I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area. How did 2K turn into 30K? I suggest speaking to a lawyer to determine whether you can compromise the amount of the debt owed to the lender and use some of the proceeds from your home to pay the debt. If you cannot deal with them using a lawyer, dont sell the house and file BK. Or you can sell the house and declare BK since the lender is going to put you into BK if they chase the debt.
