Bankruptcy Blog

Most people who are filing for bankruptcy are concerned about having relatives or neighbors know that they are filing for bankruptcy because of the bankruptcy being a public record. This is very unlikely since it is rarely reported in newspapers and access to the public records generally requires access to PACER a system on which the information is available. Most relatives, friends, and neighbors are not aware of how to access the system and they also need to setup an account in order to search for the information which rarely occurs. The likelihood that your circle of friends, family or neighbors will gain access to information on whether you filed for bankruptcy is highly unlikely.
