Is My Bankruptcy Record Public?
"Bankruptcy can be an embarrassing and stressful experience. You might be feeling ashamed if you file for bankruptcy, feeling that you will be judged and that your whole life will be ruined by the negative stigma that goes along with the concept of bankruptcy. Most likely, you would like as few people to know about your bankruptcy as possible. As a result, you are probably wondering if anyone can access the information involving your bankruptcy. Unfortunately, you will have to accept the fact that bankruptcies are made public. There are no sealed records that concern your bankruptcy – these records are very much public.
When you file for bankruptcy, your case will be assigned to a district of the federal US Bankruptcy Court. Each state has one or more districts, depending on the size of the state. Once your case is filed, it will be a public record. On the US Bankruptcy Court website, there will be a section describing the details of your case including the case name and number, names of creditors involved in the case, court dates, motions filed that involve your case, the contact information for your attorney and Trustee. This means that anyone has access to the details of your bankruptcy just by looking it up online or calling up the Bankruptcy Court."
