Carla Said:

How should I respond to a Michigan Unemployment Benefits Inquiry Letter due to possible overpayment?

We Answered:

A similar thing happened to me. It was 20 years ago and in Pennsylvania, but I think it's still relevant.
At the time, my brother was a pre-law student and he told me to get an attorney. Best advice I think I ever got. I couldn't afford one so I went with our county legal aid (hope they have one in your area where the government basically gives you free counsel). This is a bigger chunk of change than I went through for sure..mine was a $578 overpayment but I was still flat broke and couldn't repay squat.
If you get an attorney (highly recommended) you may not end up owing anything to anybody. What disconcerts me is that you say they claim INTENTIONAL misleading. That could be criminal (doubt it) but you have to cover all bases.
If you stick it out alone, I'm sure you've already dealt with cold heartless unemployment bureaucrats who don't give a rat's as.s about you. They just want a box checked next to your name.
The questions you asked have no real answers anyone here could give you. Too tough to call. Swallow your pride and go to legal aid or a cheap HUNGRY lawyer ( local one man attorney is great, not those douchebags you see on TV). Sell your crap on ebay if you have to scrounge up money. One thing I've learned over time is it's better to pay $400 once to an attorney than risk paying $150/mo for 5 years to the government. You may still lose the case but you're probably outmanned against the temp agency and surely against the government.
Good luck.

EMPLOYMENT 1 AGENCY, Very interested in paying fees. Or NOT!?

We Answered:

That's exactly what they are preying on, your desperation to get a leg up. Please don't be tempted, they will lose all interest in you once you pay the $180.
