    Debts may not be subdivided to avoid the monetary ceilings imposed

compromise, suspend or terminate collection of debts. A debtor's 

liability arising from a particular incident or transaction will be 

considered a single debt in determining whether the claim exceeds 

$20,000 for purposes of compromising, suspending or terminating 

collection efforts.
