Re: Accident with no insurance
First, you dont tell us what type of bill. I am assuming this was a car accident and you had no insurance.
If you do not pay them, they may be able to get a judgment against you. Once that is done, they can report you to DMV. DMV will then suspend your license until you pay it in full. I have written about this at my blog, www.calpiblog.com.
As for the bankruptcy issue, consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
